excellent.



edit:
I wonder if IAS will be offered on the new Rolls too -- could be very useful for such a big vehicle.

Great read. I think this is the best car ever made. It will win every test from the S-class!

I like this:

'An early pre-production drive of the new 7-series shows that we can drive it like an M5 or like an overstuffed pillow. Both are convincing'

early reviews are always optimistic ... i ll wait for the in depth versions

.. It will be a nice battle thats all i can say

You sure seem to be certain. Remember people, said the same when the new C-class hit the earth. But far from it, the C-class isnt winning every single test. Be careful what you wish for

But the C-class is not a beemer is it?
We'll have to wait and see, but so far it's looking real good.

I think Andreas was making an analogy here .. He means the new C class was supposed to dethrone the new 3 Series but apparently it was not a class leader as early reviews shown ..

I know I was just kidding hence the '' ...

Depends on what you were looking for. For ride and refinement the C-class is far superior. Dynamics and handling on the other hand are another story, though some articles have said the C was just as good then the BMW in this respect also. It all really depends on spec, engine choice etc. But I think we all should realize by now BMW's will always have their strong attributes and MB will always have theirs.

What's interesting about the new 7 is that apparently it combines outstanding dynamics with first class comfort. So it's going to be really interesting how the FL S-class stacks up. I wonder if MB have managed to get their hands on a few BMW's yet.
