It's pretty easy to tell what camp these testers fall into.

i suppose the majority of americans favor big NA engines? the last generation m3, c63 and rs4 were build with the US market in mind (at least thats what the motor-press here always said) okay bmw and merc always had NA enginges but they got even bigger with time - while the rs2 and the first rs4 had turbo engines... many people here did not like the change to big v8s
admittedly i also had a s6 avant 4.2v8 and a touareg 5.0v10 but i like small turbo engines better - i dont know, i prefer the lighter weight and like the characteristics and real world usability i.e. high torque @ low rpm...
