Video of an AMS comparison

Hey guys, I've found a video of an AMS comparison between the Audi A8, BMW 7-Series and the Mercedes S-class. BTW, all of these cars have V6's and are for the Euro market. Still an interesting video.

Thanks for the link... and of course it's always nice to see the S Class finish on top where it belongs.

should be interesting to see the title changed to not just german sedans but international cars...

I think once the LS460 comes out, then another war would begin.

Mercedes all the way!
ah yes, an interesting video indeed, although a little brief.

about the fuel consumption, well, i suppose with an extra 0.3 litres over the Audi and 0.5 litres over the BMW, that's to be expected. i'm quite surprised the 7 was found not to handle that well, though. perhaps the 3 litre is unbalanced by the small engine? just a guess
