The less than spectacular '16 gs front refresh notwithstanding, it probably still looks better to many, including me, than this bland new e class exterior.
Where the gs will lose is on features, engine range, but it may still win on ride quality, handling, and value.

Ride quality? Eh doubt it. Handling, reliability, and value for sure though. I really dislike the current generation GS styling and can't wait for the next gen. From my perpsective, a properly optioned F10 5-series was the class winner this time around.

The new E-Class marks the next step on the road to autonomous driving with the DRIVE PILOT driver assistance system. It can autonomously follow a vehicle travelling in front at speeds of up to 210 km/h, and at up to 130 km/h even without clear lane markings. If the indicator is activated for at least two seconds, the system can also steer the car into the neighbouring lane, having first identified the lane is clear. Further intelligent assistance systems are Active Brake Assist with cross-traffic function, Evasive Steering Assist and Remote Parking Pilot, which, for the first time, enables remote parking using a smartphone app.

I can't be too much of a skeptic though, that LC500 I stood just a couple feet away from was proof in my eyes that Lexus is serious about taking their brand to the next level.

BMW did a great job with the new 7-series so I'm confident the next 5er will really be something nice as well, I just hopes it stops gaining weight and starts feeling like a real BMW again.

The current 5er has held up really well both inside and out. I am a long-time BMW guy though and it's driving dynamics always let me down. It seems like ever since the release of the E89 Z4 in 2009 every new bodystyle from BMW hasn't driven how a BMW should. Still better than all the competition? Yes. Still feel like a BMW? A little, powertrains have been on point but ride and steering have become softer.
