As much as I love the new S-Class, because I do, I'll have to go with the Jaaag because it has much more presence.

Any color, both are 396s. I'm going for the Camaro.
Camaro, it's more interesting than the Chevelle.

RC-F. It's a no-brainer, why would you have a lesser F-Sport vehicle if you're given the option of that?

I'd maybe take the IS-F if I had a family.
 
Camaro, it's more interesting than the Chevelle.

300SL, easy. The XKSS is very nice though.

This Lexus Comparo doesn't make much sense... It's like an Ugly Family Feud ... and you have to choose between your Mom and your Dad or siblings...They are all different types of cars... and you forgot the LS


If i have to pick, IS-F but the very last IS-F rolled off the line last month already.
The current Lexus design language really is where no wants to go... offensive caricatures...



As for the Audi vs BMW: i choose BMW :)

Personally, i would pick Exhibit B2 (with a close second for Exhibit C2) but anything prior to 1935 from the above list is so beautiful ! (it got weird after 1935, i dont understand why the Bugatti won so many times !)
