Eh-um, BMW, because you are a fucking "Audi Guy."

You don't get how people can be fans of one brand over another brand in general?
Should everyone like all 32 NFL teams dependent on specific players? Or is it OK with the great and powerful Moog for people to just be a fan of one team even if they may like a few players from another?

How one can say the other is always better than the other is beyond stupid.
I wonder about how you, or anyone else can think otherwise.

That's like saying "I only like Dove Chocolate" even though they may make the best Raspberry kind but may produce the worst white chocolate. It depends on the specifics.
It's all dependent on the model and I don't see how any car enthusiast can be shallow enough to just like one brand over another between all these different models.

I wonder how you or anyone else would think that just because someone picked BMW or Audi, they would never go with the other brand. Just because I voted for BMW and probably pick a BMW over Audi 7 times out of 10, doesn't mean I'd always go with BMW.

Which is why you have this option "Depends on the model"

One need only look at this very board for examples of Honda/Acura loyalists who ignore the fact that the companies long ago abandoned many of the ingredients of the formula that made them special and interesting. When it comes to brands, as a consumer, loyalty for loyalty's sake is a fool's errand. You'll never be compensated by the companies for that loyalty; they'll just happily continue to take your money.

I always go with: Life is short, own as many different cars as you can.
How sad to live one's life only owning one brand, and never experience other makes.
It's like only eating Italian food your whole life, and nothing else.
Sure Italian tastes great, but so does all other types of food.
Expand your horizons.

See now, I think I'd rather have an S8 than a 7 (even an Alpina). That S8 has crazy performance and tremendous lux features.

I do love the 7-series though, especially with the M Sport package

Personally I like BMW more than Audi but they both make amazing cars. In all honesty, right now I'm loving my Lexus and would really place the new GS F-Sport up there with anything from Germany. It is that good. Here's a list of my current favorites from each manufacturer (in my price range):
BMW - 535i
Audi - S5
Mercedes - None of the above!
Lexus - GS 350 F-Sport (would love to see a GS-F)
Acura - TL SH-AWD
Infiniti - M37S
Hyundai - Genesis R-Spec
Cadillac - CTS
Buick - Regal GS
I'd basically take any of those cars and be over the moon about it!

I love em both. The new BMW's are starting to get really good with their quality material and interior. I would compare it to anything from Benz, Audi, and even Lexus to be honest. Before, not so much, I always thought of BMW's as more of a performance focused with little to no attention to interior quality.

I was answering the more simple question posed in the title b/c honestly, I don't read much of what the OP posts too closely (
![Chuckle](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/chuckle.gif)
Regardless of if I like models from BMW (or Mercedes, or whoever), of the luxury manufacturers, I'm an Audi guy. I'd choose that answer every time. But, based on the OP's post, I see where you're coming from... and I agree with it. Guess I should have read the original post first

And for your Acura choice, you spelled NSX wrong.

This^ and I'd like to add other Jello-shot bar-talk comments. But I had that 7:30am Jello-shot and killed to many brain cells to waste my time on a good comeback for a 16yr old.

More specifically.....seems like everyone in my town drives a 3-series or a 5-series. I always like to take the road less traveled. We have a thread on the Hyundai board about double takes and I'll tell you I get a lot.
Some people are so brand brainwashed they don't even stop to look at the other options. Granted most of the people I know driving Merc or BMW don't know how to change a flat or replace a blown bulb...
