It all depends what the fuck you want in a car. And different companies have better cars in different sections. From all of them I love Mercedes the most, then Porsche, then BMW then Audi then VW.

This is my choice :



The reason is simple, because Audi AG is always "Vorsprung durch Technik". You have to simply watch his success in motorsport history to convince you.

Grand Prix era (Auto-Union)
Rally Sport
Pikes Peak
TransAm/IMSA
Super Touring Cars
DTM
Le Mans

My second choice is Porsche AG, you can see why :

mmm thats quite an un-fair comparison...VW depending on model and spec can be bought for a relativly cheap price,also they are built in the masses where as Porsche only sells there cars in a tough niche market and specialize in producing sports cars, (apart for the Cayenne) which are expensive and exclusive (some)...

But back to your question, i would take a Porsche... 8) ...I honestly belive their one of the most engineered and well built cars money can buy...remember the 911 has been in there line up for 40 years! Audi comes second, i love there look and their quality...plus there a great alternative to the "common" and weird BMW range of late....

I'd pick a Porsche anyday. BMW's here in Poland are driven either by snobs or riceboys who tune 15 year old cars. A nice Porsche 911 Carrera 4S would suit me perfectly.

Right...
My father has had the pleasure to own a S6, an A8, a Porsche 993, a BMW 320i, a BMW 535i, a BMW328i, a BMW325i and currently owns a BMW 540i, while my mom drives an A3

so in a passenger's point of view my list goes

BMW
Porsche
Audi
VW
Mercs

Hope i could help you choose on behalf of your passengers, since i can't legally drive...

Mercedes, they have always been my fav Germany car maker. Were else you gona get a 600hp+ Large body sedan, that handles just as good as an M3 but just a lil better then a M5, and it weighs over 2 tons.

Tally as of now:

Porsche jumps ahead with 75 points total,
BMW takes second with 63,
Audi takes the final podium spot with 40,
Mercedes trails at 17,
Volkswagen chugs in last at 14.

If I had the money to buy one right now, this is the way I'd probably go

1. Porsche
2. Audi
3. BMW
4. Mercedes
5. VW

Of course it would vary depending on which model of car for each brand was considered for purchase...

I think it would be Mercedes for me since i can´t imagine a better looking car like the current SL. Second is Audi cause my father has one and it is very well made.

Trabant ofcourse! why isn't that in the list???

no seriously i'd take porsche over all the others a billion times, beautiful cars, beautiful history (also in racing) and when i think of Porsche i just get a warm fuzzy feeling (maybe its my wet pants evry time i see a porsche in my head )
When i was a kid i used to walk past a red 964 Turbo evrytime on the way to school, and every single day i'd walk to the car and have a look through the window...car nostalgia for me
