What excactly does that mean?
By the way, I voted for the S-Class. A synonym for luxury, prestige, glorious historical past, status symbol. The Kaizer of limousines!

Bro, it's been a long time, S-class is king of the ring ...! Time for a break/change here, having my love dedicated to Bimmers, my ranking is not "surprising" at all ...!

I respect Mercedes Benz but will never let anything, take my Bimmer over ...!

Mr. Chigga_Chan

My rankings are actually similar to the CD rankings, except I would put the Flying Spur somewhere in the top 3. At highest I would put it at two, but I like the look and the driving abilities of the A8 more than the Flying Spur.

The Artist

well hoh that would be about as i would rate them
and thats the way our poll is going..
so i would say its a very good test and result by Car and Driver..

Asked by HighestOfHigh

1. Is the Lexus Hybrid a real match for the German V12s?

In terms of technology and comfort - absolutely, when it comes to performance, no. The LS600's performance is far behind an S600.

2. Is the styling of the XJ more original then the Germans?

That question will definitely stir different opinions. I would say that the XJ does have more character than all of the German alternatives, and the Lexus LS. Having said that, I'm kind of sick of that styling (you know, because it was there when Jesus was a baby)

3. How do you feel about Bentley's styling direction compared with the Highend german models?

Didn't really appreciate the exterior styling of the Flying Spur until I saw it IRL. While I still feel the Arnage T is the better looking and more "proper" Bentley, I have affection for the Flying Spur

4. Which interior seems to be the most resourceful?

Do you mean: "most put to use"? Or?

NarutoRamen

My choice.

1. S-klasse (everything about this car is perfect from looks to performance)
2. A8 (Gorgous car and fantastic interior)
3. 7er (Not the prettiest of the bunch but lots of presense and charisma)
4. LS (Something different, well executed and cheaper than the rest...I think)
5. XJ (Old school looks but somehow still appealing...solidly built)
6. Flying Spur (Looks like horribly estended Continental)

HighestOfHigh

I'm shocked to see so little Bentley votes. I really thought this would be at least number 2.

Question:Does the fact that it's a lower Bentley hurt it's status or is the design, which differs from the Bigger Bentleys hurt it?



Question: If the design of the Flying Spur looked more like a baby Arnage, would your ranking change? (Question for everyone)

Merc1

Yep, if it look anywhere as good as the Arnage I would be cheering from the grandstands for the car.
