I agree that [in typical BMW fashion] the ergonomics are great. But that's just not generated sales for this car. I feel cars at this price point must stir emotion and create a sense of occasion for the occupants. The 7er's interior has been repeatedly criticized for feeling too much like the 3-series and I think that's a legitimate claim.
I've sat in the new A8 a few times and that too feels very understated from inside. S-class and Lexus LS, in my opinion, have created very unique and desirable interiors.
