I've been in a Phaeton, and i don't think so.
And from the back seat, imo, only the Maybach can top it.
But it's not just the car, it's the whole package, watching it being made, taking delivery, the service program.
But then again, I'm Volkswagen biased

Mercedes S-class for me. It looks better, better image than the A8 and a lot more reliable than the BMW7.

Mercedes is more expensive than BMW and Audi and it's not as well made. The finition is not very nice for the price, BMW and Audi make better, except the new série 7 which is not well made
ut of course, Mercedes is still a very good car maker don't make me say what I didn't say....

Curious as to why you say they're not well made? Mercedes are exceptionally well made...Absolutely no problems with any of our 2 we own now...Service is PERFECT, great engines, luxury to the max, and the number one thing you pay for...THE NAME. It's a Mercedes, of course it's more expensive than a bmw or an AUDI. It's inherantly a more prestigous class of car. I mean of course a Ferrari 360 Modena almost triples the Corvette Z06 in price, and it's less powerful...But I mean c'mon...It's a FERRARI. Same thing when you compare a Mercedes Benz to an Audi and wonder why the Mercedes costs more

A difference between a Ferrari and a Chevrolet Corvette is evident. And with a Ferrari, you'll stay on the road .... hum, sorry.
Between the 3 german makers, it is less clear to me.
An S Class is of course an excellent car and when you pay this price you won't have a bad car and a bad finish. But the finish of the Audi is exceptionnal, although BMW does excellent finish but not on the Serie 7. For the S Class, it's good but not as good as the Audi... that's all For the rest, the engine, the service, etc. are good.
Just a bad think on all these cars, you can't have a manual gear...

Maybe I'm missing something b/c of the language differences, haha. What do you mean by "finish"? Do you mean the exterior paint finish?

By finish (finition) he means build quality. How well the car is built and finished inside. And he does have a point. My neighbour has an S Class and the build quality leaves a lot to be desired for a car of that price. some of the materials look cheap full stop. Merc arent building them like they used to; its a well known fact. Before, they used to say to the engineers: "build it, we'll add up the costs and charge the customer a bit more". Now the accountants have been drafted in, its more like "build it to this cost". Its well documented. The Sport Coupe is said to have very mediocre build. There are exceptions. The new E and the one before it are still very good, and the SLK appears built well too.

i have to say i dont think there'll be an M7 either. Though i think the 760i will be revised/replaced, because the S600 has much better performance
