    Amazing how they raise the bar mechanically, but still imitate other automakers asthetically.
    Go ahead and flame, there's two Lexi in my driveway.....

    Wow, an eight speed transmission? I thought I recall a study a few years back by F1 guys who came to the conclusion that 7 gears were optimum once the performance loss of times to shift were calculated against the advantage of having more available ratios?

    In no time cars will have 27-inch wheels and 27-speed gearbox, just like my race bicycle. Hey, at least the 27-inch wheel is not that far away. :D

    Holy 7-Series BMW, Batman! Actually, it's really nice. That side profile pic made me do a double-take though.

    I don't like it as well as the last one, it looks to much like the GS430.

    The profile looks like a cross between the 7 series (in terms of size and general shape) and the 5 series (the rear quarter and tail lights)

    Nice looking car....

    I saw it up at the show as it was on display. I think it is a strong competitor for the S class.......
