Re: Your Choice: 7 Series, S Class, A8 or LS

Im sorry but its still the S class
For several reasons.. Ile list 3
1. This segment is all about luxury and comfort, and i belive the MB covers that best
2. There are some serious options to enhance your car, like AMG package.. its just a great thing that MB offers it, so ofcourse its a part of the equation.. not unfair at all..
its up to the rest to match the offerings..
3. It comes in AMG mode, for those with a thicker wallet..
Once again its about those extra things it can be..
All from a simple elegant cruiser (S350) to a stealth monster (S600) and lets not forget the jawdropping AMG´s..

Second choice is 7er--and that means it moved up 1 place on my list.. its past the A8..

Re: Your Choice: 7 Series, S Class, A8 or LS

It's such a hard decision. 6 Months it was an easy decision. A Black S Class with a Black interior and some nice wood. Easy choice. Safe choice. Smart choice.

I won't lie but I am a BMW fan and I love the new 7 Series. A black 750li on a those nice 20s with that completely beige interior and bamboo wood.

I don't even consider the others in front of these two cars...

I am going with the 7 Series. I just is the car of the moment for me right now. MB S Class in a close second. Honestly, two of the best vehicles ever offered.

S-Class then A8 for me right now, until I see the 7-Series in person. Pictures make the 7-Series look a mess, especially the front end.

Re: Your Choice: 7 Series, S Class, A8 or LS

Well for me its easy.Just comming out off my dads S350.What a car i think it looks fantastic it dont look bloated yet it looks elegant and it dont look dated or behind its times.The interior i think its the best part off the car those seats the massaging the dynamic seats the layout and ergonomics are just fantastic the command is easy to use.the display and lighting is lovely and the best part for me is it seperates it self from all the smaller or lower class mb"s

The ride is simply awesome its so smooth and relaxing and it handles well enough for a car off its size.yes the 7er will kill the s in handling but i bought my dad a luxury car and he dont need handling because he dont need that type off drive from his car i suppose if he wanted that then i would look at something else not a s class

2nd i ll say the 7er i think the car is also fantastic but i dont like the design i feel its bland and a step backwards or maybe not backwards but a conservitive approach also the interior while it looks lovely especially in some off the colours i feel its very much like the x5 or x6 and also has simalarities with the 5er in my view its a cost cutting excercise and i dont think the 7er deserves to be having a simalar interior to the x5/6 and 5 er

these are just my views...........

The question itself is an insult to the bavarian masterpiece.

Re: Your Choice: 7 Series, S Class, A8 or LS

While it's hard to argue against the S-Class, I'd still go with the A8. I find it the most attractive overall package.
