Lexus sucks! 

[Car Zeus]

Lexus should of done better.

I'd like to see more reviews.


If Acura had been in there it would have landed 1st place.




F-ck C&D

Did you read the review Car Zeus?

"The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has the best fit and finish of all the cars we tested here."

[VetteZ06]

I'll take the Audi. The Benz is cool, but I've never grown to like its styling.

[nickdrinkwater]

I'm surprised at Lexus being last, I think we'll need to see a few more reviews before we can take that seriously.  The LS looks pretty good.

None of these cars are that good looking though, to me at least.  The S-Class just doesn't do it for me.  If I had that amount of money, I wouldn't get any of these except maybe the Jag.  Anyone else feel the same?

[Maksx]

Hey Guys!

Our city newspaper The Toronto Star just released their top choice for this segment...Audi S8

[Catman]

Same here, it's the ugliest of the group.

[ifcar]

Maybe they'll restyle the S550 interior; besides the price, it's the biggest thing wrong with the car. The center cover for the display screen still looks tacked-on.

[cawimmer430]

The S-Class isn't as ugly as some of you might think. Design is subjective, but I personally love it. And I thought it was butt-ugly when I first saw the pictures of the new S-Class.

[VetteZ06]

The S-Class isn't as ugly as some of you might think.

I think it is.

Maybe ugly isn't the right word, but it can't hold a candle to the Audi.

[cawimmer430]

I think it is.

Maybe ugly isn't the right word, but it can't hold a candle to the Audi.

It won the comparison so it is better than the Audi A8! 

^Am I sounding like a fanboy yet?^

Damn, ugly profile, ugly fenders, ugly bumpers, ugly wheels.  Nothing not ugly.  Look inside...ugly. :P

[850CSi]

That's about where I'd rank them if I was, for example, making an addition and I get to keep my car. Otherwise I'd want the Jag.

The W220 is a lot better looking IMO, but I like the W221 a lot. The interior design could be a lot better IMO, but I've warmed up to it and it obviously is very very HQ. I can't believe they called its handling "amazing" too.





The best thing is the Lexus being last - and its the newest of these.

It's gorgeous in that picture.

[cawimmer430]

It's gorgeous in that picture.

[Submariner]

The S owns you all. 

[Colonel Cadillac]

I am glad to see the Audi is still going strong!

[JYODER240]

It would have been interesting to see the Quattroporte thrown in there.

[nickdrinkwater]

It also looks awful from the rear 3/4 view, IMO.  Look at the size of those wheel arch flares!

[Car Zeus]

The benz looks ugly but I like the Audi and love the Jag.

[JYODER240]

The Benz is far from ugly its just not up the standards that previous S-classes have set.

[ifcar]

I don't know, I'd say the taillights are pretty ugly.

[SVT_Power]

I saw two new S classes going down the road one behind the other and the thing that struck me at that moment was that it has presence. It's an ugly piece, but still unignorable

[Catman]

Wimmer likes big butts so I can see the attraction here. :P

[Car Zeus]

Thing has a bigger ass than Wimmer's sister.

[mazda6er]

You guys are all liars. You know you like the itty bitty waste with the round thing in your face. You get sprung. Bastards. 

[Car Zeus]

Sir Mix-A-Lot


Now that man had class.

[ro51092]

AHAHAHAHA THE LEXUS GOT LAST!!!!! Maybe the self-parking thing failed and hurt one of the editors?

Oh, and in terms of looks, I would pick the top 3 as follows:

1. A8
2. 750Li (I liked the 745's exterior more)
3. S550

(Sorry for trolling, but I had to. )

[Raza]

I don't get it.  The Jag placed in 4th because it lagged in 2nd gear starts (that's why there's a first gear), and it's not wide enough? 

They didn't say anything about the handling.

Car and Driver still sucks, even though I'm happy the LS finished last.
