Best of Three Poll: 8/10/15

[Ollie_M]

This week's Best of Three Poll asks you the members, "out of the cars listed in this poll which would you have?"

[dollyboy]

Imagine if one day, in the future, some people found an Audi more desirable than a Bentley...... Oh dear........ Tis a sad day indeed.

[AndrewSV]

Has to be the S Class, rather than the bargain basement Bentley with crap alloys

[MrBarry123]

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.

[Quhet]

Tbh at my stage of life (26, no kids) I'd have the Audi. I've never liked any of the 'new' Bentleys, they don't look special (or mean) enough and the S Class doesn't do it for me either. If it was 2005 and the choice was an Arnarge, an S-Class and an A8, I'd pick the Bentley

[AlexHat]

Out of the three, only one can't be confused at a glance with the base model that can be found at some taxi ranks (perhaps I'm looking into the future but I've definitely seen a previous gen S-Class taxi)

[DiscoColin]

Has to be the Bentley. As if there weren't enough reasons to rule out the Audi those chav-tastic wheels nail its coffin definitively shut. And while I do like an S Class, I worked in London long enough that I naturally associate them with the legion of diesel 'executive cars' driving city execs from meetings to airports.

[Dr G]

RS7 please. According to t'forum it'll make me look like an appendage but I'll be the fastest appendage in the west.

Kind of agree with all of that (although I'm rather older than 26). All current/recent Bentleys look like ungainly lumps to me, the Merc looks just like a C-class (such a shame, the previous S-class looked much better and more distinctive), so I'd have the Audi, but only by default.

[steviegunn]

The Bentley (in Dark Blue with a Light Tan Interior), just seems more special to me and it keeps a few Brits in employment.

[DoubleD]

I'm struggling with this as non of the above appeal.

[Ozzie Osmond]

4. None of the above.

[va1o]

Fair few miles on the Bentley for its age!

I'd probably go for the Merc.

[leedsutd1]

Bentley looks dated ,Mercedes might suit me when I am 60, has to be the Audi for me

[mnx42]

I'd pick the Audi. I happen to like those wheels but then I am from Essex.

[Mr Tidy]

Voted for the AMG - it isn't a VAG product!

[R34GODZILLA]

For me the Bentley just doesnt appeal as a young mans car.. more of a 'look at me i have money'.
The Audi isnt too bad but much prefer the body shape of the S8..

As for the Merc, im a big fan of the new S class, if done right with a nice stance.. nothing OTT but a nice set of rims on the new S class, just looks beautiful.

So i choose the the S class.. but this one below, as its how id have mine if i had one!

+1

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

[JeffreyLebowski]

I wouldn't blow £100k on any of those, but if I had to choose it would be the RS7. Sorry VAG haters.
The fact it is the faux Bentley and not the Arnage, and the god-awful steering wheel in the s-class ruled them out for me.
Given a free choice, then the XJ or M6 would get my money.

[RoverP6B]

The Mercedes, because it's honest, it doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't.

The RS7 will make you look like a d1ck.

The Flying Spur is trying to look like an old-school Bentley when in fact it's still based off the VW Phaeton - which at least the previous FS made abundantly apparent, and I'd take one of those in preference to its successor.
