Smile Geneva Motor show 2007

I did a visit today to the show and verified the main competitors to my 221:

BMW 7: outdated design. In need for a new model

Audi A8L: looks ok but interior looks to technically for me

Lexus 460: disappointed. Compartment much less space as in 221. So many buttons all around. Confusing. Interior design not my taste. No roomy feeling.

I'm pleased to have choosen a MB 221.

What a nice biased review of the Geneva Motor Show 2007. Nice to know besides the Mercedes-Benz S-Class there's nothing but crap.

Why is it biased? Guy has S600, he could easily afford any car mentioned, he choose the best

Seems that it's acceptable for everyone to jump on this forum, rag all over MB, complain when a windshield wiper needs to be replaced and it's not free but when someone actually complements MB he's biased. Interesting.

I did not visit the 2007 Geneva Motor Show, but I followed a similar reasoning while selecting to purchase my S550VX.
To me, the BMW 7 and A8L are not very eye pleasing; and I believe the 460 will never catch up to the German competition, because they appear to be copying the Germans in their effort to join the league.
Just another opinion, among many.

LOL!

Sir, don't take it so seriously. Everybody here likes Mercedes-Benz, that's why we all own the cars. Of course we're here to discuss the problems, the good, and the experience of Mercedes-Benz cars.
