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).

i really dont know what your talking about... to me the S class drives just as well and is just as comfortable as the 7. i havent been in the A8 so i cant comment on its feeling. exterior styling wise id have to say the A8 wins by miles, but thats just me.

I have never liked the look of the Seven I think that it looks way to stretched and it looks like I will continue the same thought. Those wheels look terrible.

It also looks bloated. Look at the last pic, you can see how there is lack of any decent character line along the side of the car, instead you get the side/door panels in bulging out in a convex way.
Called Camo, hides the cars lines pretty well, doesn't it?

Wait till it hits the streets. Hopefully, it'll be a S class killer, if not, then BMW's got some 'splainin to do.

P.S. I LOVE the new S class. I absolutely adore it.
