One of the most interesting groupings in the automotive industry is the German trio of Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz.

The broadest generalizations that differentiate the brands are that BMW is the sporty brand for people who love to drive, Mercedes is the comfort-and-technology brand, and Audi is somewhere in the middle.
