My point is basically when your comparing cars you try to keep them at the same prestige level as possible. So when they chuck an Awful pair of winter rims on the A8, it does not do it any justice

Just waiting for a translation of the result...anyone please

Its up to Audi to give them a proper car. You cant blame the magazine.

The BMW really does look alot better - the stance , the lines, the windows. The window line on the mercedes looks very japanese to me. I like how the side skirt remains flat on the bmw and follows through behind the rear wheel arch. The merc's trunk seems to flow upward from the rear wheel - which i think hurts its stance.

The wheels on the BMW help tho.. i cant lie - that plays a pretty large toll on the overall appearance of the car.

Are you sure?

E 350 CDI / 730d / S 320 CDI

Power: 170 kW / 180 kW / 173 kW
Torque: 540 Nm / 540 Nm / 540 Nm
Consumption (Urban): 8,9-9,4 / 9,5 / 10,4-10,6
Consumption (Highway): 5,5-5,8 / 5,9 / 5,9
Consumption (Combined): 6,8-7,1 / 7,2 / 7,6

Note: E 350 CDI has less power than S 320 CDI.
S-Class is heavier than E-Class so naturally the consumption figures will be a bit higher if the S-Class gets the 350 CDI engine.

It's funny you're so sure as the fuel consumption figures indicate that the potential S 350 CDI would have very much the same consumption as the 730d.

Well honestly, the 350cdi is hardly a dramatic improvement over the 320cdi...
The name change is one of the biggest mods it seems
