the audi might drive better and softer but the look just does nothing for me. it will be s class for me any day

i don't know the lease now, but when we were shopping for audi, they had the worst lease deals, even worse than mb

Panamera “Executive” version should be roomier

If there's a question to choose between a Mercedes and and Audi you should default to the Mercedes.

Got the lease numbers back on the Audi, despite being $10,000 cheaper and with a $23,000 discount the payment is $200 more than the S560. So cross that off lol.

Drove a 750 and then another S560 back to back. Like the 750, and it’s awesome looking. The S Class is more comfortable inside though and rides a little better. That V8 in the 750 is a MONSTER though. They’re going to send me numbers but I’m sure the 750 will be much cheaper.

Here’s the 750

Porsche and Audi lease numbers are ridiculous

I would take that 750 over the S560 any day.

I would take the 750 over the S560 regardless of the price.

That 750 looks nice. Is it one of black colors or is there some dark gray in there?

It’s dark graphite. Really sharp. Here’s another picture. They’re sending me numbers on that too. I really love the way this car looks.

Great deal! Does that include getting you out of the LS?

Seems like a no brainer, get it. Word if warning - if you are an audiophile, all bmw audio systems are cheap junk. Other than that, these cars are great.

That’s an awesome deal. The 7 series is a great car. As big as it is, it’s still fun to drive. I recently switched to BMW myself, and now I kick myself for not doing much sooner. Lexus is great, don’t get me wrong, but BMW / MB cars are on a whole different level.

As on Mercedes older products, the fake-leather on BMWs also used to also be junk-looking, though I haven't seen some of the very newest ones to really make a comparison.

The good thing about the BMW setup is that it has a like a 7 band equalizer to tailor the sound to your liking. The burmester only has bass, mid, and treble adjustments.
