M6 for me too. I'm struggling with the choice given.

[Charlie Michael]

The Flying Spur for me. Just oozes imperiousness. Perfect for this type of car.

[0llie]

Of those, the S63. Really don't like the new Flying Spur (especially the back :yuk, but the RS7 is nice. I'd still pick an XJR or M6 GC over all of them

The Mercedes for me however it's not really a fair contest as the RS7 isn't really in the same league of cars (it's competition for the M6, 911 Turbo etc.).

The RS7 should be swapped for the S8 - in which case I'd, having saved myself £35k, swap my vote for the S8.

Spot on.

S63 for me. The 'lesser' A7s look better than that RS7, which just looks like it's trying too hard.

The proportions on that Bentley just look wrong and odd.

S63 will do all the things it needs to, from hitting almost 200mph on the Autobahn in sheer comfort, lighting up it's rear tyres on twisty B roads, having fun on a track day, ferrying VIP customers to big events and then subtlety blending in with other traffic. The perfect all round motor.

A 1 year old S8 with a 5 year old 911 for me

Also under £100K

[rare6499]

Probably the Bentley, just the more special. The S class is obviously an amazing car, but I can't help but feel it would depreciate awesomely. Not only that but I see quite a few new S classes around (no bad thing!) but would want something a bit rarer for a 100k.

The RS7 doesnt interest me, would probably ride horribly. Hardly ever see a new shape flying spur around...not sure if thats a good or bad thing!

The Bentley isn't remotely special when you know the platform's origins can be traced back to a late 90s Passat. If you want a special Bentley, the Arnage/Mulsanne is what you buy, not the tarted-up stockbroker's special.

Not sure that is right. The platform is a D1, developed specifically for the Phaeton and Conti and a steel version of the A8 D3 platform.

Don't think the Passat comes into it.

I recently had a day driving a slightly earlier-model S-Class for the first time & was underwhelmed by it. Have a C-class as my daily at present and it didn't really feel any better than that.

No Audi I have yet owned or tried will ride properly on our ill-maintained British roads, so, on that basis it has to be the Bentley. Would also be handy for putting those pesky Italian tail-gaters in their place.......

[RoverP6B]

D1 was basically a stretched and widened Passat platform. Regardless, a VW platform doth not a proper Bentley make.

Now if the Bentley Mulsanne was on the list. That'd be a different story.

I was going to put that on initially.

[soundman_cripps]

There is no question that it has to be the AMG. Bentley is for old dudes and the Audi is just not in the same league imho.
