I doubt comfort is going to be a big issue. Just because its not good as S-class doesn't mean its bad. Seat comfort is just as good as S-class, its the suspension which is stiffer. Typical BMW. Of course BMW can make the suspension to be softer and more comfortable but if it was, then it wouldn't be BMW. "Sport" is the key word with all BMW's. BMW's new 7-series is the most comfortable BMW today and there won't be any problems using the 7er for everyday-use.

^True just like the C vs 3er thing,MB would have made the C super sporty if they wanted to but then again it is not BMW.

More than Lexus?, Lexus looks completly "Bah" nowadays, the A8 is not the best looking but I think it beats the lexus.

But strange enough M3 is being praised for being more comfortable than the C63. Weird

I guess there are always exceptions for everything.

It's the beauty of out those four. The Beemer looks like Shrek, the Merc is not as beautiful as it was before, and the Lexus is boring. The A8 is the only beautiful car with CLEAN LINES AND PROPORTIONS. Old - yes! But forever beautiful.

The A8 is so dull and conservative, IMO.

If the Pre facelift S-Class lost by only one point to the new 7 Series, that means the Facelift S-Class will destroy the competion once again.

Just like the facelift W220.

Can't we just forget the W220. I hate that car. As per usual, the MB and BMW are the pick of the bunch.

I just think the opposite..the S is the most elegant and out of the groupe to my eyes.

Interesting comparo, so in other words for those who want the best car and money isn't an object the S-Class is still the car to have. Time for a new A8 though if it going to lose to the Lexus LS.
