The new 7 looks like an ugly hog from the front end...
  
Purely based on the exterior styling here's my list:
  
S-class > LS > A8 > 7er

 
I guess we have different opinions, although I am a lexus fan, the LS is also more comfortable, yet I prefer the new 7 seri styling.
 
Saw the new 7 on display at LA Auto Show the past Sunday, that thing looks HUGE! Although it doesn't look as bloated as the current gen but it does look bigger in presence from my eyes
 
Maybe it's bigger, but looks smaller than the previous 7 seri, but that’s just my opinion.

Panamera? If I am in the market for a luxury 4-door coupe I will wait for the Aston Martin Rapide
 
Probably be very expensive, unless you can afford it.

Will the current under-$2/gallon-for-all be short-lived? You betcha. I think by next summer we'll see the gas price going back up to $4/gallon
 
Will people have short memories and go out buy more less fuel efficient vehicles (SUVs and V8+ gas guzzlers)? You betcha, as matter of fact here in the metro LA area, the Hummer are already coming out of the hiatus due to the low gas price.
 
Will the Big 3 be stupid enough to push for more crossovers/SUVs? Based on their collective intellecture and track records I say that's very likely. If I am a betting man that's what I am going with
 
So let's see... The gas price currently is low, people buy more gas guzzlers, Big 3 then will build more of them and say let's forget the fuel-efficient vehicles, then gas price goes back up, people are screaming, whining, cursing and stop buying Big 3 products again and ultimately the Big 3 will need another bailout or they are doom for good...
 
Boy we are effed...

You got that right. In my area, almost as soon as prices dipped under $2.50, there was a news report of dealers already saying truck/SUV sales were shooting back up. People are sooo stupid sometimes!

Sportier luxury sedan buyers like BMW 7 Series owners? I dont think so. There is a reason why there is no such thing as a BMW M7 . Too much sport for such barges is as ridiculous as having an Olympic match for overweight sprinters.
 
I don't think Porsche is targeting the traditional big luxury sedans with this car, or even the S63, Alpina B7, or Audi S8. They are after a much smaller niche, ie the Quattroporte Sport, Rapide, and that freaky Lambo 4-door. I seriously doubt there's enough buyers to support 4 or 5 cars, and there's a very good chance that several of these cars will be one time specials. If I were Porsche, I wouldn't be wasting my time with this car.

You get the feeling that certian car companies view "the long term" as next quarter vs. the next quarter century... Now, which three would be "the next quarter" strategists?
 
Isn't the Honda Accord a text book example of how to build a marque/brand/model/SUCCESS?!

Any thoughts?
 
Hi Gardis,
 
I honestly have not a clue if that is a good deal?
 
My suggestion is that Edmunds 5 series forumss may be a better place to go for an answer.
 
Good luck.
