Which one would you pick?

>>14846872
BMW, simply because of the brand image.

>>14846872
>choice between a shit car or a more shit car
I'll take a corolla for $1000 Alex.

Mercedes because I believe it's more reliable and classy but I wouldn't pick either one.

Neither of them speak to me, but I'll take the BMW. I'd prefer an Audi RS or CTS-V.

BMW

BMW, no love for Mercedes at all 2bh.

>>14846872
Which has a higher second hand value?

>>14846872
BMW
I don't want an explosive rust bucket that will need x4 the value in repairs after 150K
I will however have a machinist manufacture and install a fucking Oil Dipstick though.

I'd take the 7 series as for those, people don't entirely expect you to have someone driving you around

The 7 series is sportier too, and wont devaluate as quickly as the s class.

Only thing the s class really has going for it is the aesthetc and comfortable value, it makes you look richer than you actually are, which is what a lot of people want.

BMW. Much more reliable, and not overstyled (anymore).

Mercedes is shit these days. It's like they still think they're part of Chrysler.

>>14846872
The Merc, I'm not a 15 year old faggot with no class

>>14847199
[TIPPING INTENSIFIES]

>>14846890
There is no Audi RS in the same class. There is the Audi A8/S8 though
I'd take the BMW because more fun to drive

>gesture controls
Why is this a thing?

>>14847233
Why are you poor?

Mercedes is actual luxury , the bmw is poser tier

>>14846872
The more expensive one. Then sell it and buy an E46 M3 and an C63 W204.

S class. Always was and will be the leader.

I'd much rather have an A8L W12 or an S8.

LX570. Just as nice and I can tow a boat. It won't lose an absolute fuck ton of money due to depreciation either. If it was an Alpina B7 vs a S63 I'd take the Alpina, but just regular luxury cars aren't really useful.

It looks pretty striking in person. I sat in it at the detriot autoshow, and it was nicer than the S Class and 7 series. I owned an E38 750il for 2 years so I'm a BMW fan boy and I still liked it better. You just feel like the fucking boss in it. Plus it's more practical.

>>14847381
Whoa poorfag, easy on the limp-dicked passive aggressiveness there: you consider audi to be a "premium" brand.

>>14847356
>that grille
absolutely disgusting
or maybe i`m just thinking not enough progressively

>>14847402
Good luck offending me by insinuating Audi isn't a "premium" brand. I see plenty of people driving the A8L and S8's daily to know they are popular.

>>14846872
I don't know anything about either of those cars so going purely by the badge on a luxobarge, mercedes.

>>14847417
Popularity isn't an indication of a "premium" brand. Audis are just rebadged FWD platform VW's. Can't even compare them to MB or BMW. Audi is more of a Lexus equivalent.

>>14847417
Audis are lower class because they use shared platforms, engines, chassis, interior parts etc etc. Basically when buying a $50k Audi A4 you basically pay extra for different interior and body panels, it`s the same $25k VW Passat underneath.
BMW and Mercedes on the other hand are completely independant

>>14847431
Fuck you really know nothing about cars do you. You can't even get FWD on an A8L or any S-models period. Are you the same type of under age kid who think "lamborghinis are volkswagens!!1!"

>>14847442
Because the passat is available with AWD, Leather Seats, dual clutch, virtual cockpit, etc.?

>>14847455
You can get a FWD a4 a5 a6 a7 in poorfag spec. Quattro is an option on these cars. I don't know about A8 now but it used to come with FWD too.

>>14847472
you ever heard of 4motion?

passats do come with leather

passats have dsg

and virtual cockpit too you faggot

>>14847472
Actually yes

A Mercedes because I'm not a fuccboi.

>>14847512
What lol. I was researching Audi offers and they do come with FWD in europe. I don't think it's possible to get one without quattro in NA. But it still shows you they're built on FWD platform... FWD and "premium" don't go together, bud. Good game, try again.

>>14847506
XJ is dope but old. You would be better off getting a used 2010.

>>14847207

>S7
>RS7

>>14847505
4motion is an AWD based on the Quattro system, you claimed that Passats don't have AWD at all you imbecile.
And yes passats do have leather seats and virtual cockpits dipshit

>>14847505

quattro is the same as 4motion if you actually know the parts and distribution.

passats have real leather

hurr i need to look at my virtual cockpit while driving my real car hurr

>>14847527
Holy shit what part of the world are you in? Is it that poor overseas that you think it's not possible to get quattro on an Audi in America? Almost every Audi on the showroom floor is quattro. And what do you mean "built on the FWD platform"? Is this some nonsensical bullshit you just made up because I know that's not "shown" anywhere on the Audi site.

>>14847537
>same class

>>14847537
A7/RS7 are BMW 6 series GC and Mercedes CLS rivals.

>>14847505

Well my Golf has 4motion, Leather and a DSG.

No virtual cockpit because it will be in the next model year.

rekt

>>14847545
You have no reading comprehention man

>>14847538
Do you know what the virtual cockpit is? Please go watch a video of VW's "virtual cockpit" and compare it to Audi's virtual cockpit. Seriously can't wait to see you argue they're the same.

RS7 is the highest "Luxury" before it goes into Supercar tier with the R8.

Never said it was better, it just is more luxurious, spacious and bigger overall. As I said it's a different class vehicle. The RS7 is a four door coupe AKA Grand Coupe, the S8 is a full size luxury sedan like the S class or 7 series.
What's so hard to understand?

S-Class.
It's the best large sedan ever made.

You'd be absolutely retarded to not pick the S Class.

>>14846872
S-Class. Always S-Class.

The only other car I would consider in this category would be a Lexus LS.

>>14846909
Depends a lot on trim and options, but historically the S-Class has had better resale even though both get hit with some the worst initial depreciation anywhere on the market.

>>14846872
The S because I got class m8.

As an E-Class owner, I've got to go with the S-Class.

I'm not really into these higher end cars, but I really do wonder about if these massive saloons are worth it compared to the E/5 with some comfort specs. I have only ever driven shit cars, and I do mean shit.

But a month ago I got to drive a new 5 series, and it was very comfy and quiet and I didn't feel at all tired/beaten to ahit after a 9 hour drive. Is the S/7 really that much better to justify the gap in price?

Also, Volvo S90 seems to he a very nice car

And even with all that carbon fibre the CT6 still manages to be hundreds of pounds lighter than the 7 series

None. I'd rather drive an RS7 or GS-F.

That's just the domestic name because Lexus wasn't a brand in Japan at the time

>durr the Acura RLX is just a rebadged Legend

>>14854522
You're the one that brought up the badge. Whether you consider it a Toyota or not, the LS has always been a great car.

>>14854102
Mercs haven't been real Mercs since the W123 and arguably W124. The W201 and W202 were stretching it and W203 was fucking terrible. Everything went downhill from there.
They had neither the looks nor the reliability or class to back up that name anymore, it was just the name left without the amazing cars.

That Merc looks like a cheap Hyundai.

>>14846872
Neither

>>14854547
W201 had all of those things and is a very different beast to a W202 in every aspect. You know far less about Mercedes than you think you do.

>>14854582
I know just enough about them to steer the fuck away and buy something else instead that doesn't explode spectacularly if you even look at it funny.
Mercs being ultra reliable life long partners is long gone, nowadays they are just average at best with expenses of a bigger luxury car.

>>14854547
>>14854597
Hey fag, my dad drives a W203 and it's utterly rock solid. The meme about reliability being ass comes from retards thinking "hurr it's a merc so it's unbreakable!" and never sticking to the proper maintenance schedules, thus ruining the car and then being surprised when it falls apart going "hurr but I thought merc was supposed to be unbreakabledurr?!?!?!??!?!?!?". It's what happens when you go from super upmarket high class exclusive cars to mass market cars like they did with- oh, guess what? The W123 and W124. Back when people still treated the badge and the car with respect and invested the effort to keep it running properly instead of just going "yea it'll sort itself out".

>>14854527
The RS7 isnt even in the same class you mong
