[TrafficJam]

I currently owned the G12 M760 and here is my personal review for the new 740, it was truly an amazing car!

The problem with the 7er is despite how feature-packed and how much better the quality, it doesn't look like one cohesive product. You can see the good stuff individually but as a overall package, the S Class does a way better job.

The EQS 450 and 580 have lost their German teutonic heritage. I test drove the 450 and while it drove well, the interior of the car was like being in a las vegas bordello with all the flashing led lights and cheap plastic. Cancelled my reservation and it’s now a toss up between the i7 and the Lucid. The Mercedes 500 & 600 S Class has always been a very classy high quality car with a restraint interior. Too bad they decided to change tact completely with their EV models. BMW have done a better job of maintaining their design lines. Yes the grill does get getting used to but look at Lexus with their grills. The i7 looks a lot better with the silver trim and non sports front look. Much closer to the high end Bentley or Rolls limo look.

So very few folks opt for what is called the “Luxury” trim in the USA. I had one dealer GM absolutely refuse to order the car for me, telling me in no uncertain words that my build was “an UGLY car.” I drive by that dealer everyday on my way to my office and the memory of that exchange just makes me smile!😊

I’m not thrilled with the exterior of any of the G70 models, but I much prefer the look of mine over the M Sport cars. I like the fact that I almost never see another “Luxury” trim model on the road.

Anyway, once I settle into the Full Marino Leather seat and listen to the B&W Diamond audio, as I silently glide down the road, rolling into a curve, while the Autobahn Package keeps the car flat & exceedingly comfortable, all thoughts of the exterior styling just drift away. The I7 is a simply marvelous car to drive, especially if having almost NO noise, vibration & harshness is a big deal to you, as it is to me. Cheers!
