Either way, if the M5 handles better than all three, none of them handle poorly. That's nonsense.

Watch the review and you'll know what I mean.
While being able to pull Gs doesn't always mean the car have good handling.
Because of the front engine front wheel drive base layout of all Audis(S6,7,8 included), they suffer from huge amount of under steer, thus handles poorly. At least when you are comparing against BMWs.
