The comparison we've finally been waiting for is here courtesy of the latest Autobild. The review should follow on their website in perhaps a week or two.

NEWSBOT sources have, however, given us the insights into the article together with the results.


1st place: BMW 750i (677 / 750 points)
Verdict: Agile, dynamic and roomy, the new BMW 750i edges out the S class by a mere 8 points. The suspension comfort is average but it makes up for this fault with comfortable and ergonomically shaped seats.

+Characterful engine
+Interior workmanship

2nd place: Mercedes S500 (669 / 750 points)

+Very large trunk and payload capacity
-Expensive prices and costs

3rd place: Lexus LS460 (621 / 750 points)
Verdict: The LS lacks the agility of its European rivals and furthermore falls behind in overall comfort. The brakes are weak and need improvement. On the plus side it comes well equipped and is very quiet.
