Not if it's the AMG  :evil:

You do know that 90% of Joe Public doesn't know the difference between a AMG and a regular Merc right?

When they see an AMG go by, all they say is "nice wheels!"

It's the same story with the BMW M cars and the Audi RS's.

Not if they're on full throttle  :mrgreen:

I'm just kidding, it depends on where you are really, but I'd say the cars that you'd expect to have a driver are the Maybach and RR Phantom kind, not Mercedes S.

Admittedly, there's a lot of truth in what you said.

In London (and here, Manila), the hotels use Merc S-classes for their guests. Hence the chauffeur stigma. The more exclusive hotels use the Maybach and the RR's.

In Italy, they use the E-class as a taxi. Seriously. I was with the family on a tour, and when we wanted to go around a bit more, we called for a taxi. Lo and behold, a silver E-class showed up with "Taxi" on the roof.

The Mercs are the most used taxis here in Norway too, the "best" taxi I saw was in Copenhagen Denmark where I was kinda baffled to see a Porsche Cayenne with a taxi sign on.... :good:

But on this BMW crap, once again BMW fumbled with their design and made an ugly melting korean knock off of a car in this case lexus knock off and the front somehow resemble me of an Dodge or Chrysler or something in that neigbourhood....not a good thing either of them imo...


Sadly BMW dropped the ball once again and I do not see it returning to its former glory anytime soon sadly....

Like much recent BMW it needs some time to be apprehended it and I must say that it grows slowly but surely in my opinion  :)

I have never really liked the looks of the 7-series and this new one doesn't really change that fact. I don't even know what is exactly that I don't like about them, but somehow BMW just doesn't look that good as big as 7-series.

Better than the current one, but still doesn´t even come close to the A8 in terms of looks...

it looks good, but the s-class is the best looking big car at the moment, but there will be a new A8 out in 2 years, maybe this one...

Bang on.


Frankly, I think the 7 series just exists to make the 5 series look sporty.

Lates Audis have looked very good, so I trust A8 will not differ from the trend. :good:
