I have to say that i totally disagree with the writer. It is just so unobjective article.
I mean the 3 series has been, is and IMO will be the benchmark for this segment, and reading this article just makes me so mad.
The 3 series is a WONDERFUL car and NO ONE should underestimate BMW's bread and butter.
I know the new C is a few steps ahead of the old C - which was a great car in the first place, but saying that the 3 has no fighting chance and that it has been left behind is just so not correct.
I believe the 3 and the C appeal to different people.
For me it is the 3.
IMO the 3 looks better than the new C, not to mention the driving dynamics.
Do compare how the c-3-a4 look on the new Autozeitung test :
