Ok... Which German brand would you buy? and why? No Flaming.
Just your vote (PICK ONLY ONE) and then your opinion why. I will do my part by not correcting anybody who thinks something they recall is fact.
Which one of these?
- Porsche
- BMW
- Mercedes-Benz
- AUDI
- Volkswagen

In my family there is a BMW. I am a huge fan of the Bavarians. The reason is quite simple. BMW has the unique ability to successfully combine sportivness, luxury, high quality. It produces amazing SPORT/LUXURY cars.
Bayerishce Motoren Werke for me.

That's a tough one - I like all the German marques
I'm with Samerrao on this one
Porsche for out and out sports, BMW for sedans/wagons.

Actually I have a semi-realistic dream about getting a Porsche 944 in the not too far future. Among the pros are driving pleasure, some practicality, price, good old german build quality. The biggest cons are expensive insurance and the challenge of driving a RWD sport car in the norwegian winter.

Actually, the reason why I didn't make it into a poll, was so that we could score each brand accordingly, like a race.
Number 1 vote counts as 5 points
Number 2 vote counts as 4
Number 3 equals 3
Number 4 vote is a 2
and last counts as 1 point
Meaning if you picked porsche, then merc, then bmw, your vote would add +5 to Porsche's tally, +4 to MB, and then +3 to the men from Munich.
So far, as of this posting, this is the tally:
BMW = 44
Porsche = 39
AUDI = 23
Volkswagen = 7
Mercedes = 4
Let the race begin! 
::EDIT:: Somebody posted before me as I was doing the calculations. Here is the tally, including my vote.
