the road presence comment was referring to the size of the BMW 7 series. There was a trend where sleek, low hood and sleeker styling was the thing. The EQS looks bad and the Tesla S looks like it belongs in the midsize segment.

They do look massive, and they make even big cars like the S Class look small by comparison

S class doesn’t look boring at all, the EQS and EQE looks don’t help those who want to aspire to buy into the Mercedes brand





^^^ terrible designs…

oh for sure. BMW got it right by making good designs in either ice or EV. and a V8 is available. Now Toyota is doing it with ES. For sure next gen S class is both V8/EV with same inferior.

How do the leases compare? About the same, or is the 7 cheaper? From what I've seen of both recently, the 7 series would have to be significantly cheaper for me to even think about it over the S Class.
