Uh, no, this someone who's spent hours and hours behind the wheel of the 550 on a cross country trip would absolutely not agree. I hate that car and couldnt WAIT to get out of it. Ugly interior and dash, bloated, boring to drive.....easily the longest, most torturous drive of my life.

The current 7 walks all over that thing, without breaking a sweat, and I'm sure the new one will do the same. It and the A8 are MUCH better choices in this class, but thanks to the 550's name and star badge, to some people it can do no wrong (when in reality it does no RIGHT).
