International discussion! Where are the best cars from?

[Zpectre]

And well, I think that you should be from German before you where in a parallel dimension. :p

I'm a Brazilian of German descendence. :bigthumb:

It also appeared in NFS2. Never knew that it was from Germany, though.

Isdera's founder is a German named Eberhard Schulz, whose main philosophy is to restore the sheer pleasure of driving, an activity which shouldn't serve utility purposes only.

To be precise, the one in NFS II was the Isdera Commendatore 112i

This is Isdera.

[RiCkT]

[ToyotaWish]

wtf jagxj220..what youve been drinkin?

Ok... Not really, but the shape looks A LITTLE Jag-ish to me. And no, I haven't been drinking. I'M ONLY 14. :D:D

Italy andf Britain are best in speed and design,  and Germany is best in reliability and luxury (power too if you look at most BMWs )

[Car Freak]

Germany? Reliability? Maybe Merc in the past, but Japan is now (and has been for the last decade and a half or so) no. 1 for reliability.

Just look at Merc now. Everyone has flamed it for being too greedy, and letting quality go down the toilet. And for BMW, my uncle has had MAJOR problems with the air-con on his wife's 525i. it was in and out of the dealer for repairs about 3-5 times, and they still couldn't fix the problem...
So when my aunt had an accident (nothing serious mind, it was abt 10-20 km/h) involving the rear end of a taxi, he decided to sell it and get her a Lexus RX350

The best is the UK, worst are Korea, China, and Russia.

You have a point
McLaren f1's do use BMW engines

[ToyotaWish]

Yup. But BMW's designs aren't bad too. I like the 5.

[Guitargeek787]

Make mine an M

ewww... you have bad taste...

I'd say the best looking of the current range of BMWs would be the X5 or Z4 Coupe. Or maybe, just maybe, the pre-facelift 7-series. But it has to have a particular set of rims:

[RiCkT]

naah! id kill for the new 3 Series!
that 7 series is rather ugly.

[Car Freak]

The 3-series looks quite dull... Not offensive, like the 5, but a bit boring... and a friend of mine (whose mum owns a white 320i) couldn't tell the difference between the saloon and coupe when i showed him a pic...

[ToyotaWish]

The 3-series looks weird. Like a compressed 5-series. Just like the Nissan Latio. Looks like a compressed Cefiro at the rear end.
