Quote:
Conclusion of AUTOBILD editor Wolfgang King:
The new 7 is now a real BMW: dynamic, nimble, being up to every trick, and even being blessed with a sufficient dose of luxury comfort. Those who prefer quiet and comfortable ride would still go with the S-Class - being a real Mercedes. And the Audi? A little dusty already - no wonder, since being a 6-year old model.

Shouldn't pose any problems for the S-Face lift.

I'm glad Mercedes is still ahead at what they do best. Comfort!

BMW has done a fantastic job on the 7 though. It really answers all the criticisms of the old model. Audi has a monumental task ahead with the 7 and the FL S on the way.

Time to make a new avatar.

Kind of expected, MB still king of comfort. Imo, if the MB needed the AMG package to match the looks, but overall, very close battle.

7er for me... still haven't seen one in real life unfortunately.

Well, the 7er looks great in reality!! Especially the front looks much better, then on the photos. And also the interior is great designed. Love the new comfort seats and the middle console. It is more harmonious, then the one of the E65!

And a new avatar - maybe, we will see…

Autozeitung rated the new 7er above S-class in driving comfort (but only with one point more).
Anyway, not much to argue about since neither of these luxury cars are uncomfortable.

fanboy mode off!
