P.S. I know some of you will complain about the differences in models, so please email me photos that are around the same size and I will make the corrections.

The Audi A8. And of course the S8 for that matter. Looks best, handles best! Most value for money!

lol dude,the S-class anyway!!1

Snake Vargas · 01-09-2006, 12:55 PM

That S-class is awesome. The wheels suit it, the new evolution of the AMG bodykit suits it, and I like the black colour of the panorama roof or whatever it is. Great.

However, the A8 comes a first by a nose, not the S8 mind you. Its sleekly elegant looks and amazing interior give the W221 a good fight. Then again, overall, it'd be the car that I'd own and drive, not just the one that I admire from a distance. I like Audi's understated philosophy, but that Benz still excites the imagination in me, whilst the Audi appeals to the sensible side of my personality.

PS. HOH, eh? Wow, it's been a while. Good to see you back!

Definitely 7er. Best in terms of desing.

PS. HOH, will you be as active as you were at GCF from now?

Wow, Lexus really could have done something awesome but they screwed it all up. Look at the front of the LS it just can't stack up to any of these cars even the oldish looking Jag. It has no character at all when it comes to front end design.
Oh, and I suppose you all already know what car I prefer the most.

S class proof look at the S65 for gods sake

MikeJ · 01-09-2006, 02:34 PM

I'd take the A8 with some margin to the S-class. The Audi is still the pretty one among the bunch and none too shabby in other respects either. The Merc gets second because of its technological features despite the fact that it still doesn't look very good in my eyes. The XJ just bumps the 7er to fourth place while the Lexus comes dead last by a considerable margin.

Noooooooooooo............................, not another S/7/A8 poll.

I'll never own any of these cars but today my vote goes to Audi with BMW and Mercedes in a close and tied 2nd place. All three are so close that it's really a toss up and how one feels on any particular day.
