Is German supremacy gone?

Relax, they were simply impressed with the Kia Cee'd.

Still having very good handling, and best steering in the segment.

BMW know E65/6 is a fatty, and is addressing that issue. Especially F01 will be much more agile & dynamic & sporty. While F02 will also provide extrordinary comfort, and a bit less sportiness.

Re: [scans] AMS: S 550 vs. 750i vs. LS 460

The LS is a well built car w/ the most reliable technology out there, not mention it's pretty competitive. I see them quite infrequently and I must say it's one of the best designs to come out of Japan for qutie sometime, the interior is a nice place to be as well. I'd for sure take one over just about every last one of it's competitors w/ the exception of the S8, the W221 surely isn't anything to write home about other than for it's ride, which I understand the LS's is far superior.

Don't you mean A8L? It's the most plush!

From all accounts so far, the Mercedes ride quality has been said to be absolutely superb, the best in the class along with the Lexus. and while the Lexus may match the Mercedes ride, it does so by being soggy dynamically, whereas the Mercedes still has impressive dynamics.

I've never ever ever read of the Audi A8 having the most plush ride quality...in fact quite the opposite.
