I'll be interested to see what C.R. says, usually J.D.P. ratings and C.R. ratings are quite similar.

Since some of you mentioned A8 and 7 series lets see the JD ratings:

Sorry i couldn't resist.

Thanks for fixing that Yannis.

Well, I am disappointed by this result ..I have to be honest ...the world has gone crazy ...who would ever have believed 20 years ago, the day would come when VAG beat MBAG in quality surveys of their top models.

it's not bad, it's "ok". To add the A8 has been around for about three years now, I doubt in it's first year it did any better than the W221 is doing now, if anything at all, in pretty much every area the S-class is just a point or so out of touch with the A8. That will change I'm sure.

Two years ago Audi A8 was the best in class in quality ratings of Consumer Reports beating both 7 series and old S class. So although the S class had 5-6 years in production it was still worse than a 2 year old A8. So what you are saying has some logic but it's not always true.

That is what I don't like about CR. Their roadtest of the S-Class had them saying that it was like the best car they'd ever tested, beating all the others, but yet they of course couldn't recommend it because of its reliability.

I been in the new S65 and sorry to break it for you but S8 is superior to S65 interior wise.

Anyway, its what I expected from a new car. Child sikness, give it a 1 year or two and S-class will do better.
