Comments about the structure of the Forums may be posted in the Software discussion, but they are not on topic here.
 
I do wish those of you who have strong feelings about what's going on would post them there where the Forums managers will see them. Your comments will not be seen here (even if they weren't removed).
 
If you haven't been following that discussion, you may have missed the fact that TPTB certainly are listening to members like you and many things have been re-thought and changed because of their helpful feedback.
 
Please provide yours in the place where it will be heard.
 
I appreciate your cooperation on this.

Thanks for your input. I agree with you and I'm still considering the Lexus over bmw or mb mainly because of the maintenance costs. I would like to find out if bmw is still offering that 4 year free main. thought lol!

1) As posted by Merc1 in the HELC forum below is the latest Car & Driver comparison test results :
 
1st - MB S550
2nd - Audi A8L
3rd - BMW 750iL
4th - Jaguar XJ8 Super V8
5th - Lexus LS460L
 
Yes the new LS is dead last. DEAD LAST!! What a difference from the 2000 C & D results when the LS beat the S Class. Oh well folks at least there is always hope for the new 2012 LS480

KH9079,
 
You bet! Also I've owned BMWs for many years out-of-warranty and ended up spending minimal repair/service costs. The secret is finding a good independent repair shop that specializes in BMWs. BMW dealerships are only meant to be used during warranty periods (unless you can tolerate some financial hardship).

Who cares - they have a performance bias. Anyone buying a car like this with performance first in pecking order should be buying a different car. This is like buying a great TV. Give me a 10,000:1 contrast ratio anyday over 1080P. But if you are looking purely at resolutiom than 1080P will win. The only two cars that matter to me in that list is the MB and Lexus and after test driving both they are practically identical to me. Both ride spectacularly and handling is hardly different. It's a matter of styling tastes and how much you want to spend. As far as I'm concerned the other 3 cars don't exist.

We are at opposite ends of the spectrum. As far as I'm concerned all five cars dont exist. Large size and heavy weight(weighed down by gizmos) enhances the luxury aspect of all the five cars on the list but at the high expense of driving dynamics(which is best in the form of a small nimble light car)
 
I even find my wife's BMW 5 Series as too big. I dread the thought of driving anything bigger--but this forum is not about me it is about the LS and the C & D results.
And according to the C & D results the S Class did not only beat the LS in terms of chassis and drivetrain attributes but also in terms of such non-perforamance qualities such as driving comfort, rear seat space, trunk space and last but not least fit and finish.

We don't need to have this conversation in more than one discussion. Let's continue in the High End Luxury Cars since that is the logical place to get into comparison debates. Thanks.

That's the spirit! After you drive both vehicles, please post your findings.
I have always said, test drive the vehicles you may be interested in. The vehicle has to work for you!
