1. Audi. I find their design quintessentially German, something that used to be true of the other two as well. Sporty, understated elegance is, IMO, still the way to go. Current Audis will look good and modern for years to come - something that might not be the case with some other designs.

2. Mercedes. I'm really worried about Mercedes at the moment. The new S and the new M are not what I'd call attractive design. The older designs are much more distinctive and attractive, IMO.

3. BMW. It should be no surprise the new design direction is not to my liking. Somehow I feel now that Bangle has been replaced by that Van Honkytonk fella as the main designer the designs seems to have toned down somewhat but they're still a far cry from the design purity that made BMW great.
