Well you could leave the voice of reason behind, that seams to be where the fun stops ....

i like the fact that they tested the Berlina, and that still won the comparison

most people say the Berlina is the most useless model, as paying the extra for the Calais is almost a no-brainer. (195kW + 5-speed auto) and you also have the option full electric leather seats
