Good luck but my money is on the S Class. I have been in that car and that interior will influence interiors of the future.

[ny325]

I've been in the new S class, and it rides beautiful. The interior is gorgeous, and I'm not a fan of Mercedes, however, this one to me is a winner. The 4 series looks bloated, and I can't stand the electric steering.

The new S class is not good looking though, at least compared to the previous S class which I thought was gorgeous.

[435iaffair]

I personally think the new S class looks way better than the old one

[verbs]

New Corvette will win. Not even close.

Looked like a bigger c class to me, especially the rear. To each their own, if everyone had the same tastes there wouldn't be such a diversity of manufacturers/designs out there.

Exactly! We wouldn't want to all drive the same car

The C7 is a possible contender. Car and Driver recently picked it over the 911S.

I always wonder how they pick the winner. One year it is a Toyota Camry the second Year a GTR??!!! these cars are different classes, different price range and different purpose. How do you compare them and pick a winner?

The 911 won that comparo by a wide margin. Factor out the 18 points awarded to the Vette for pricing and everything falls into place.

I think you are right that the Vette may take the 2014 COTY trophy. My emotions are with the S class though. If only I had 100,000 to spend on a third car

[trey100]

Pretty much they pick the car that makes the biggest impact that year to its class or automotive world. A game changer at some level. A car that is just great doesn't win. That's why you don't see cars repeated.

I love the new vette!

You were in a new S and the 435 looks bloated?? S is a great big fat huge techomarvel. Could never imagine wanting something that big.

These magazine comparisons are just entertainment - sometimes they get it right - often they are way off the mark picking things like the PT Looser and going back a ways - Chevrolet Vega.

The Corvette is a great car at its price point. But I think most of us on this forum would rather have a 911s if we had the money.

There are lots of cars out there that will run rings around my 335 but I don't care - the car is exactly what I need for my road trips - comfortable, good handling, good visibility, a nice turn of speed if needed for passing etc. I don't even bother with a radar detector anymore - just drive with the flow of traffic and have fun on totally empty deserted roads.

Have you ever noticed that when you get out of the city where the driving is fun - you rarely see performance oriented fun driving cars. I guess the people that own them are too busy working to use them

The only entertainment here is how badly are missing the idea behind the "Car of the Year."

I hate the "Corvette is a good car...for the money" caveat. Is its performance which on quite a few metrics and tests has proven to beat cars at any price point not enough? I can afford a 911 and chose the Corvette. I'll buy another Carrera when they make one in a men's version. And when snobs mention how shitty the interior of the Corvette is, they get pissed when I tell them how much nicer the interior is in my Range Rover or S-Class.

The interior of the old Vette is widely accepted to be shitty though. It's not a snobby statement. It's a fact

Im pretty sure if you took 5 broke people and 5 "middle class people" put them in a c7 and a 911 on a track, no one would choose the corvette. That being said the new corvette is an amazing choice for a sports car in its price range...now would I take a boxter s or cayman over the c7...Probably not(although I havent driven a c7 yet), but against 911 it cant hold a candle...real men(driving men that is) know that!

Perhaps. But no one cares about their opinion.

Can't hold a candle in what? Performance? A C6 Z06/ZR1, or C7 will embarrass any naturally aspirated or non-GTx 911 on a track...badly. Remove the base C7 out of the equation and you can include turbo and GT3 911s, too. That's already been proven ad nauseam. Even Porsche guys are tired of hearing about it. Aside from performance...driving feel, build quality, materials, etc.? Sure, Porsche. But, please...let's not turn this into another Corvette vs. 911 thread. My apologies for starting it.

C7 1.24

I think C7 has more tq, about 100 more and more HP. There is also at least 2l of displacement and 2 cylinders between the two.

911 won this comparo too
