Which looks more like a ricer?

lol i voted wrong..
change it
i thought you asked wich one looked better

the Audi looks more like a ricer..
But not really.. so change it to neither

I suppose the BS.

LOL yup same here. I voted for the SL. My vote should be neither.

LOL i voted wrong too, i saw nicer instead of ricer -.-...could've used better words, I chose the R8 but it shouldn't be

I'm sorry for confusing you guy's with the wording of the poll!

Well I got it right and voted Neither

Oops I voted wrong. I thought the question was which one do I prefer. Neither of these cars look like a "ricer".

M

SL black series without a doubt. I've said it before, as much as I love the R8 there is something about the design language of the V10TDI that bothers me. And as you all know I called the SL perfect from a design standpoint. Also, at this stage, I don't really care about the performance because both have demonic powers.

Edit...I voted wrong. I thought the poll was for what I prefer and I voted the SL. Anyways, by no means is ANY of them ricers. Please fix the poll

Storebrand must be Just_me's cousin.

I don't get it...

He is just joking
Its not our fault that the members dont read closely before they hit the vote button.

Oh.... another silly poll?! Jus kidding guys. Not voting tho

Voted Wrong too ...
^^

The SL looks more like a ricer to me.

the SL definitely looks more overdone (therfore ricier).

Well either of these car designs could stand as an overdone kit design from a modest POV. I voted for the AudiV10TDI. The nose job really stands out!

It`s really overkill!

I voted right,the R8 V12 TDI

It's funny how all the BMW guys are calling the BS a ricer...LOL. I guess form follows function means nothing to die-hard BMW fans.

Well I'm not a BMW guy, Audi or Mercedes for that matter. I feel as if each of them are superior to the other in a perticular segment. To disregard the radically exaggerated exterior design of the Black Series shows true bias!

M3 CSL is the perfect example of the form follows function, not the BS. There's nothing there ( and certainly not the engine ) that requires such an overdone body.

The Black needs the body it has,its not overdone.The wider wheels need the extended wheel arcs,the engine needs max cooling as AMG expects people to take this to a track hence the massive air vents on the from bumper and the engine cover.The spoiler is needed for max down force.

So what is in this car that is overdone ?
Just because this is a Mercedes and BMW fans(the naive ones)cannot swallow it doesn't mean it a badly done ricer of a car.

PS:I was also fooled by the wording in the polls.My vote is Neither.Please someone change it

Let me quote what Cawimmer said and he isnt exactly a BMW guy:

Cawimmer:
"The SL looks more like a ricer to me."

Now I suggest people read the headline "Mercedes SL Black Series vs. R8 TDI V12". So leave bmw out of this for once
First people dont read the poll question closely and now this....

Everything is overdone, they can make wide wheel archs but not that wide, they can put massive air vents and make them look less ricey, (if ferrari and others are doing it then why not them). The car sure does look like a monster but don't tell me it's the form follow function, it's simply a design choice.

So I'm guessing you worked on this car? I guess the AMG engineers only worked on the exterior. May be next time they'll call all of you and ask how to build a car.

It's sad that when MB does something extreme it's called "ricey" by the guys who would swear on their lives that their brand did it only for functionality. Right...

Just_Me...I didn't bring BMW brand into this. I brought the fanboys into it...LOL. The reason I said what I said is because were a few posts calling the SL ricey with people who have BMW in their name.

Storebrand...Yes, I'm so biased towards MB that I have a BMW represented in my sig. Also, I'm the biggest M3 fan on this site, by my calculations of course. LOL
