Looks like none of these cars did exceptionally well. A8 and S are almost about equal. The 7er did good in comfort and performance but it`s obvious it has some issues with quality.

Re: JDPower Review: Merc S-Class/BMW 7er/ Audi A8

I`m hoping the W221 will get better reviews.
The W220 2005 S-Class has done very well compared to the 2003-01 models.
Just more proof that it`s good to wait a year or two before you get that new car in the first year.

I find it interesting that they said the A8 had the worst Interior quality of the three.

I know right what is up with that! I thought it would do better.

It is definitely clear that non of these did outstanding, especially the 7er. There is something wrong with these boys! Hopefully the next generations will clean their act. They are the flagships and with that said should carry the throne all the way up to the mountain.

BMW would have done better if not for the over compliacated I drive system and it's complex/faulty electricals.
