Review on 4car.co.uk

Hey,

The British car site 4car reviewed the revised S-Class...and gave it 5 stars our of 5. The 7-Series and A8 each received 4 stars...

SUMMARY:
For: Rewarding to drive, comfortable to be driven in, classic Merc styling.
Against: Some dubious plastics, not amazingly roomy, the excellent new E-Class.
Sum-up: Great to drive, great to be seen in, still one of the most desirable saloon cars in the world.
