Interesting category... Only thing these cars have in common is that they start with B's. Other than that, Bentley is head-n-shoulders above the other two.

Benz : comfortable luxury... for middle age plus audience
Bentley : luxury over the top.... older audience
Beemer : drivers cars with a touch of luxury..... 30 something professionals who graduated from Subaru STI or the like

They are all "status" vehicles to someone.

Edit: A rapper, I guess.

Bentley: older audience? I guess that is relative... The few guy I know with one are in their 40's. To me, that is younger!

Lots of love for the german cars :)

My daily driver: clk55
Wifes daily driver: 550i
Grocery Getter: ML500

They're just well built cars, nothing more than that really.
Oh and fun to drive. We like them since we commute 25 each way every day of our lives.

Some day I'll have a 997tt..... but I have not quite hit my mid-life crisis yet :)

I love the clk 55. My dad had a 02 55 amg kompressor it was a beast! He sold It for a 335i now we both have the same car=) I see bentleys usually every other day most people who are driving them are in their late 20's to early 40's. This may be different in your area but once again everyone has a nice car in Miami, If they can afford it or not the car comes first lol.

To enthusiasts, a Beemer is a motorcycle. The car is a Bimmer.

with the S5 you do get the V8 which the s4 is lacking, however audi must have known what they were doing, because the supercharged 6 is one second faster 0-60 than the b7 S4's

I agree, strange mix.

Mercedes and BMW are cars for the masses. Bentley is way more selective.

Yep, a (modern) Mercedes is definitely not a Bentley.
