Hmm maybe it's not so bad. looks good in motion. Beats out the Benz S560 in this test.
Looks bad azz in the Slalom at 2:20 I can see the staggered set up of 245/45RF20 (front) / 275/40RF20 on the F Sport. Look like a big sedan!

Which car would I rather drive, and which car excels in the ways I want a car to excel? (Smooth, soft quiet ride vs ultimate handling?). No question it’s the S560 having driven both cars.

Oh, by a WIDE margin. I've driven a few, the new 7 is quite soft, if you read the latest comparison test (I think it was C&D) they noted the 7 Series had the softest suspension in the test, softer than the G90. As an LS460L driver I'd be very content with the ride of a new 7 Series.
