The M3 is the full package like the HSV and the C63 is faster if it doesn’t have to corner like the argument being used against the PFV.

Personally I think there is a lot more to car selection (preference) than something being said to be the full package.
I think you actually have this completely back to front mate, the M3 is the faster car, when driven flat out.

Every comparison I have ever read says that at 10/10ths the M3 will kill the C63 ... but every journo driving them backs that up with "but I'll take the C63 for the drive home from the track".

The C63 was built for everyday use, not track use ... it's the better "overall package" ... and yes, I've driven both.

Back to the HSV vs FPV bullshit, why does everyone assume that just because one has a better engine, drive train, gearbox, interior, overall package etc. etc. that the other one must be shit. They are both cracking cars, unbeatable value for money, faster than anything you could ever really need, look great, sound great and handle great. Buy the one you prefer, either way you'll be a happy camper.
