The S-class only look good with AMG kit. Without it the new 7er kills the S-class.

The current 7 series is horrible (in relative terms). Your comparison doesn't hold any water here.

"but they're like a jack of all trades" The finish to the Quote is
Master of none. Might want to use a different Quote.

If you could set up a ranking system that rated each luxury car's dynamic capabilities, as irrelevant to this class of cars as it may be, it would go like this (from greatest to least):

BMW>Audi>Mercedes>Lexus

You could choose any one of these, and each suits your own style. If you want pure comfort, the Lexus (admittedly) takes the cake. If you want a good doseage of dynamic capabilities alongside a plush ride, you'd most likely opt for a BMW. The Audi and Merc manage to mix those up a little better, but they're like a jack of all trades (though the Merc probably takes the cake of the current gen in terms of tech).

Ya see what I mean?

doesn't matter. S class will be always better than a 7 Series. 7 series is nice, but merc will always be better than bimmers in Luxury,technology and ESPECIALLY interior design.

and it actually goes from

Merc > BMW > AUDI > LEXUS

Merc is far better than BMW from CLS Class and UP. CLS63 > m6 , S65 > 760LI , CL65 > M6 coupe , SL65 > m6 conv. and SLR > unfortunately bmw doesn't have a come back =/. I do however believe M3,M5 > C63/E63.

Having had both the german uber sedans (flagships E38 750iL, S600, E66 760Li) I think too be different and really make a statement, it would have to be the Maserati Quattroporte S
