German cars VS American cars

[Swissbeatz]

This thread has been made for confronting German car against American cars.
The rules:

1-You must compare cars from the same categories (ex: Mercedes E-Class can't be confronted to a Chevy Cavalier, but a Cadillac Seville)

2- When you confront cars you must create a post with pictures of the both cars and you must create a poll ex: (which one do you like BMW 3-series or Cadillac CTS)

3- A SUV must be confronted to another SUV (ex: BMW X5 VS Cadillac Escalade)

4- American cars = all the brand mark that an American group holds (Ex: Ford owns Jaguar so Jaguar is considered as an American car (it's just for the game))
Idem for German cars

So now let's have fun....

...Just thought I'd note that despite being owned by Ford, Jaguar is still a British Company

I think I should point out that despite being owned by Ford, Jaguar still operates as a British Company...

why would you say that... Caddy 1 and Audi 0 i totally disagree with you.. yes the caddy has more power and is faster, but have a look at there engine sizes... who has a better engine Audi 4.2L V8 with 344 bhp @ 7000 rpm and 302 lb-ft @ 3500 rpm.. its not hard to place a big engine in a car with allot power.. but its hard to make a smaller engine with similar power.. and have a look at the price.. caddy is also an American car and American built car.. they pay less taxes.. therefore the caddy should really be cheaper....

and the Cadillac CTS-V is ugly compared to Audi S4....

From a consumer's standpoint, why does it matter how big the engine is?

the Audi is better, if only for fit and finish alone.

ok, here's one that's just gotta be asked.

911 or Corvette?

That Vette looks like a pre-1973 Corvette. I think they phased out the metal bumper bars from 1973-onward.
Those Vettes represented the last of the high output Corvettes we would see for a decade or so. Certainly they are worth more then the latter C3's that were subject to the restrictions of the mid to late 1970's.

What year would this Porsche be?

911 or Corvette?

What a funny man!

911 for ever, of course

even though i like jaguar more than BMW, i'll have to go with the BMW becaus i heard that the Jag S-type is kind of crappy.
