Their "Vice-Presidents of Velocity" article, or "Closing in on the Best $40K Sedan". Finishing results among the eight competitors were as follows:
Audi A6 2.7T Quatro with 97 points
BMW 528i with 96 points
Lexus GS300 with 94 points
Saab 9-5 Aero with 91 points
Lincoln LS V8 with 89 points
Jaguar S-type 3.0 V6 with 88 points
Volvo S80 T6 with 86 points
Oldsmobile Aurora 4.0 V8 with 82 points
The 9-5 Aero tied for First Place in the Fun to Drive category but ost points in the Features & Ammenties category and in the Styling category.
Features and Ammenities might have been heavily influenced by the large size difference between some of the vehicles tested. Styling is purely subjective, and since so may C&D writers drove BMWs at the time that brand's top finish in styling is hardly objective.
