Mercedes and BMWs have long rear overhangs so what?

Anyway i pic S8 in this poll cause i like it more.

Well, a long front overhang can make a car look ungainly and clumsy, whereas a long rear overhang can make a car look longer and more elegant.

Anyhow, I vote for the S8, though once again I prefer a normal A8. The way the roofline flows towards the rear is very impressive, very elegant. I also like the way the bonnet and the bootlid areas are longer in profile. The A4/RS4 is a bit short to be so elegant and still have 4 doors and 5 seats.

Like mentioned before in another forum Audi has a huge problem in making different looking cars in their line up. There are so a like it is not even funny.

The RS4 hands down in my opnion is better looking in the side profile, but then again I am not sure how the S8 will look if it were in red.
