Poll : Alpina B7 Vs. Audi S8 Vs. Mercedes S55 AMG - Page 2

I would take the B7 with no second thought - It is more unique , more special and rare than the others .
Alpina does a wonderful job with BMWs - no matter how good the original car is , the Alpina polishes it and refines it till it becomes a masterpiece .
They also don't ruin the car's styling.
It seems that Alpina could be integrated into BMW with no problem since they build their cars on the BMW assembly line and their modifications are such that even BMW respects and even uses .

And then there is that engine - which must be one of the best engines around !!!
This is the equivalent of a BMW M7 , but more refined .

My heart says "go for the 7er" while my mind suggest an S55. I'll go for the beast from Munich. BMW design is the best. Same for top speeds

Wow, this is tough!!

I love each one on the other way...I can't decide at the moment, no vote from me!!

Imhotep Evil · 12-21-2005, 03:50 PM

Well the merc is out of the question, but still can't chose.

bum-man · 12-21-2005, 04:06 PM

S55, without question. Even if it is the oldest it still looks the greatest.

warot · 12-21-2005, 04:42 PM

Let me remind you that the S8 has a V10... make the right choice

That silver S8 is looking awesome. Maybe it's Just me but I'm beginning to accept the crazy grills.

No it's not just you. I also love them

Sorry, but I'm not going to vote on a car just because it has a V10 (I could even point out many drawbacks to owning one). I'll choose the car that pleases my eyes the most.

I agree with the engine part but not the part with the eyes. To me its about the overall package.

No offence to BMW and Mercedes but the V10 in the S8 is on a totaly different league. Same of course goes for the rest of the car.
