-- So you wouldn't hate it if it wore a VW badge?

Speaking of VW..Here are some Audi A8/S8 photos..

Oh I have been back there in one and believe me thats where I would like to be also, that may also be due to the fact that I cant drive yet lol

Those are great photos, HighestOfHigh. They really show off the strong points of the car. Thanks.

I know the class leader is the S, and in its latest incarnation it's become a close second for me, the A8 remains my favourite in this segment.

The rest is just blah.

You are entitled to your opinions but lets not loose touch with reality.

I too, would personally choose the S class, but the Bentley offers a very different experience. I also do not think the S class is a great deal better looking; it definitely is more dynamic and sporty, but not vastly better looking IMO.

To me both cars are good looking. They over elegance in a different way. I guess it's all a matter of opinion.

In person both car really stand out, but the Bentley name does carry a lot of wait for that car.

I love the Bentley and I love the Mercedes S-Class.

It's like two beautiful women that look quite different, but they're both stunning. What's not to like? They're still two beautiful women, right?

You're right Rob, it isn't a pig...its actually not good enough looking to be a pig, its worse. The car has all the elegance and style of a railcar. The MB shames the Bentley beyond recognition, especially in AMG trim!
