in german Autozeitung there is a test between these
Audi A8 4.2 FSI quattro / Jaguar XJ R / Lexus LS 460 / Mercedes 450

Audi won and S450 second place and both scored the same in price. Both A8 and S450 equally fast in acceleration.

So not "Always"

I am hoping F01/02 it won't just play catch up but will distant itself significantly for the next 5 years.
And that includes Styling, Performance and Quality.
The 5er and the 7er needs to have the same command as the 3er in their segments.

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

You beat me too it again Ree!

I had it all scanned and ready to post!


Well here are the finer details...

RANKINGS

1st Place: Mercedes S-Class 498/650
A true luxury limousine unbeatable in comfort and with excellent engine refinement. Aside from the expensive price, no major weaknesses.


2nd Place: Lexus LS460 493/650
The LS is spacious, well equipped and laden with technology. Comfort, handling and the interior are a bit dissapointing.


3rd Place: BMW 750i 477/650
The 7er shines in the dynamic department (handling). Weaknesses include safety features and ergonomics.



PERFORMANCE 0-100 km/h
Mercedes: 5.7 seconds
Lexus: 6.5 seconds
BMW: 6.1 seconds

Don't forget the usual complaints about the Lexus's poor load capacity (400 kg only).

AutoBild also claims Kia Cee'd is almost as good as VW Golf!

Is German supremacy gone?
