Pretty cool.
After four Audis and a VW Phaeton I'm buying my first MB. At this particular point in time MB is ahead, but if you wait a year, they might be a little behind. You can make yourself nuts about this, for sure. Somebody will always have an edge. From the video it looks like most of these features are in the latest high-end MB, but some are done in a more sophisticated way. Love the new Audi touchscreen.

I'd like to see how the Audi active suspension does on tougher bumps/obstacles. When Bose years ago demoed its active suspension tech on an old Lexus, I kept hoping it would eventually come to market, but it never did...too heavy and pricey. Maybe the Audi system is the closest yet. Here is a demo video of the Bose suspension, for those who haven't seen it:

I had seen that Audi video too . It was pretty impressive as well. However, it still looks like an element that's cool yet fails to beat invincible S Class .I must admit kinda off topic but in since it's related to Audi's technology I have to say it .Audi's interior is making my car's interior dated .
