This is The Opposite Locker where we try and sort out the cool from the square. This is a discussion system detailing how cool a car is, not how fast, fun, or frivolous it may be, but how well it looks in the cat's pajamas.

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! - The purpose of most supercars these days (Ferraris, Porsches, Bugattis, etc. ) is maintaining the balance between comfort and lap times; these types of vehicles are for the driver's benefit only, however, when you roll out in a Lamborghini, the lives of those souls you encounter are bettered by your presence on the road.

New Kids On The Block - Executive Saloons

When it comes down to executive saloons, the Germans have the market swept. While the S Class has held the podium for longer than it perhaps should have regarding the technical innovation that slowly find its way into everyday cars, BMW and Audi have stepped up to challenge the Sebastian Vettels of the saloon market to the point that the three giants just now copy each others strategy until they produce the same vehicle.
