Agree. VW/Audi are in my mind the only ones making truly handsome, Teutonic, understated Germanic cars anymore.

Does no one realize that the E30 was one of, if not THE, quintessential yuppie cars of the 80's (along with the Saab 900 and the like)? BMW as a status symbol is nothing new.

How dare you compare an Audi to any GM Rubbermaid filth..

I'm sorry but any and all statements claiming BMW's "GT" models are in any way comparable to Audi's Sportbacks... just no. The A5 and A7 Sportback are beautifully proportioned with graceful arching rooflines and Kamm tails. This GT nonsense shows BMW has lost all touch with teutonic elegance.

The A7 is so infinitely better looking. Much more cohesive design, much better proportions. The Panamera is definitely unique, but just doesn't sit as well. The interior is beautiful though.
