BMW i7 vs Mercedes EQS

Anyone that states with a straight face that the I7 is better looking than the EQS is in a very bad LSD trip. That thing is hideous. It has less range and is slower. The interior is a hodgepodge of bling and uninspiring design. Only the most diehard BMW fanboy will say that that monstrosity holds a candle to the EQS in any way. It looks like Herman Munster's new hearse. Revolting.

I will say I don’t think either the EQS or i7 is particularly strong in the looks department, and I appreciate both brands and their being on the forge front of technology, innovation, and driving competence. That being said, I can’t help but think some of the i7’s features and tech feels either half naked, useless, not for me, or pillaged from and behind MB. The hardware for IDrive 8 looks like the last gen screen setup for MBs, but worse. I don’t wish BMW was up to speed with the latest MB design, I just wish they had their OWN thing. Recent MB feels like a solid and cohesive, if polarizing, brand image to me, while BMW seems lost and still figuring itself out.
I also find the big rear screen silly and not something I’m at all interested In. Disappointing for me given that that’s basically the highlight. That would be like if I absolutely hated the idea of E-ABC or MBUX - the GLE and GLS would be off to a bad start in my mind and I’d suddenly be much more interested in the X5.

BTW, that link is to a Reddit post. Its not a reviewer, its a "real world man on the street" lol.
The point is, believe it or not there are plenty of people who like these 7 Series' too. I don't like either car for different reasons.

Some people on the street do, some don't. People aren't so rude they would come up to you and say "Man, your car is ugly", the people who think its ugly just keep that to themselves. Its a polarizing design, there are a lot of people who don't like it. If you like it, thats all that matters.

BTW, all you hear on the net is Plaid this Plaid that, a model that is as common as the EQS AMG (not common at all) for an even higher price.

First and Last AMG
IMO the Hummer EV is even uglier than the I7. Am I wrong?
2020 AMG S63 Coupe makes my Wagon look like a Checker Cab. That car wins the Sleeping Beauty Award! Not sure why Mercedes retired the S Coupe. Will they bring back the SLC based upon upcoming SL63?

Low sales, less demand for 2-doors, and internal competition. No SLC is planned. SL is the luxury 2-door option, and GT is the sport 2-door option. CLE will put the C and E 2-doors together, similar to the old CLK's position within the lineup.

No SLC, just the SL, GT, upcoming CLE and I'm sure we already know that the interior is going to look like.

I've owned (or own) 6 Mercs, and have owned 3 BMWs. Generally love both marques. However, the i7 is just butt ugly, IMHO. And the back seat screen was apparently designed by the designers of the current Cowboys staduim. The EQS is definitely the S of EVs (if I cared about the ICE version, I would have bought that!), and is luxurious, elegant, sporty, a mileage king, and generally a fantastic vehicle. So glad I didn't wait on BMW. YMMV.
