Behind the design of the BMW 7 Series

SanJoseDriver,

The Lexus LS has to be one of the most overrated cars in this class. Yes it is very reliable and loaded with technology but comfort wise it isn't even on the same level as the S class as VARIOUS REVIEWS HAVE STATED. Furthermore the S class handles while the LS is less capable in this department. So how does the S class manage to handle better and be more comfortable at the same time? Sounds to me like the S class has the more ADVANCED SUSPENSION / TECHNOLOGY onboard.

From the pictures, the interior of the new BMW 7 series looks to be just fine. Maybe you should examine the cheap plastics and fake-looking wood inside the LS more closely before you talk about interior quality. VARIOUS REVIEWS have stated how the LS interior feels less complete and cheaper than its German competitors. In my personal experience the Audi A8 and Mercedes S class have beautifully crafted interiors that are simple in appearance yet elegant. The LS interior is cluttered, confusing and looks like an ergonomical nightmare completely lacking elegance and simplicity. Oh, and it has a lot of cheap shiny plastics that initially look good but when you spend more time inside the car, you notice how cheap they appear.

Technology? Every car in this nichemarket is loaded with advanced technology. Lexus simply conducts more marketing about how 'advanced' the LS is to create a supposed selling point for consumers. In tests, some of those features that the LS has, like the collision avoidance system, do not function that effectively in real world tests. Autobild and Auto Motor und Sport both tested this and came up with the conclusion that this system is a GIMMICK designed to make people feel safe, but in reality it is unreliable and ineffective in operation.

So please get of the Lexus crack and come back down to earth where you'll see that the LS is a car like any other. Much of its reputation is based on technology which the average LS consumer has never used or tested. They know their LS has it because it says so on paper and that's it.
