While it's no 3 Series, I'm pretty sure that it's far more agile than the Merc R-Class. Seriously, how could you expect from something that is two tones heavy to be fun to drive?

Such statistics from race tracks would be good basis to form oppinion about driving features of 5GT. But I agree with jkp, 5GT is not a car that was designed to be particullarity fun. It's not M or coupe, it's - first of all - utility car and I bet that it drives better than SUVs and any other car from its class, which is extremaly limited to R-class recently. I saw 5GT on Autobahn and it's really huge, bigger than I thought. I wouldn't expect sportiveness of coupe from this car, although I still believe that it will give enough fun to average driver.

Why can't they put themselfes in the shoe of the target market? Isn't that what jurnos are supposed to do? Anyways, 5 series GT is still the choice for me!

It is supposed to be a substitute for a sport utility vehicle, which are absolutely no fun at all and unsafe. I don’t think it’s supposed to be fun.
