Kings Battle - S-class, LS, 7-series, A8 and XJ - Page 4

I really see myself driving the A8. It is a superb car, but then again what are these cars going to look like in 10-15 years? That is when I will be able to buy them and obviously there is the fact that they may look very very different. So this answer is in the now not in the future for I do not know what the future will be like.

The S-Class is the best in design, luxury, features, + worldly authortity
and power!

I think HOH could can used a more rational pic than the killer S65 though.
It simply crushes eveything else in the photo spread.

lol yeah the 65 pic was a unfair choice.. lovely but unfair

hehe

I must say all the cars look very good exept for the Lexus. The Jag can't stop going sideways. So um I will say the MB.

Looks like we have a winner in this poll, the S-Class. The leader in the excutive automotive kingdom!

Just_me · 01-24-2006, 01:28 PM

Although I thought the S-class would win by a larger margin. Looks like the majority of fans are no longer MB fans. More close now than ever.

GTA8.5 · 01-24-2006, 01:44 PM

I predicted it would come out this way, The S has a good lead, the A8 usually does better than the 7er (which god 3rd place). A winner is a winner!

Oh my....I went to the Washington DC Auto Show and I was mad as HELL at Mercedes-Benz.

Why? - At detroit and every other Auto Show since frankfurt has feature more the one S-class. One usually was on stage but the rest were avaliable to the public for getting inside for a closer look.

Not at the Washington DC Auto Show...One model and you couldn't even get in side. I was HIGHLY pissed off. I do have some photos I will share as soon as I find my memory card adaptor for my phone.

I did enjoy looking at it and loved the design. Not to mention the wheel arches (WHICH WERE NOT BIG AT ALL) very small. The way some of you were talking about it I though they extended 5 inches from the actual body itself.

Other then Benz the A8 still manages to impress me. But this year....my luxury Auto winner for the show was between the XJ -long wheelbase and the 760il.

I swear after sitting in the 760il (especially the rear seats) I almost brought a I love BMW hat. Oh it was beyond words. Of course this might not have happened if Benz would have a floor model for the S-class.

Oh...I did find my adaptor...
