 | AMuS compares S 500, LS 460, 750i, and guess what?? Mercedes loose! Vergleichstest: S 500, LS 460, 750i: Auf höchster Schwebene - auto motor und sport How can that be? I remember that Auto Motor und Sport already tested BMW and Mercedes, and S class won. How can exactly same cars now change? And how can they now prefer facelifted Toyota to Mercedes?? |

 | Re: AMuS compares S 500, LS 460, 750i, and guess what?? If AMuS already choose the S-Class over the 7er, then yes I agree, that's a little strange. Honestly though, the S-Class has already won tons of comparsions - so it's not like it's going to lose credibility. Call the LS a Toyota all you want, but a "face lifted" Toyota? Sorry don't see it. |

| Re: AMuS compares S 500, LS 460, 750i, and guess what?? Anyone see the new LS600h commercial? Gave me a new found respect for the car, damn that Lexus guy who talks during the commercial!  The new LS is definitely a contender this generation all it really needs now is a few more engine options like a good diesel. The Merc is still the best though IMO. |

| Re: AMuS compares S 500, LS 460, 750i, and guess what?? Ok, i'd like to correct myself, i wasn't able to find any other S vs. 7 test on AMuS site but this, where S class (S350 here) looses again. Vergleichstest: Vergleichstest Audi A8, BMW 730i und Mercedes S 3 - auto motor und sport May be i confused it with other magazine, or it was v12 versions?.. I was absolutely sure that i read it in AMuS... It seems like AMuS mostly prefers BMW for some reason. |

| Re: AMuS compares S 500, LS 460, 750i, and guess what?? I remember AMuS once compared the S350 vs 730i vs A8 3.2 V6 and they preferred the S instead of the other two. I think it was AMuS...I could be wrong, though. I remember there was even a video on the Youtube.

E.g. Lexus SC = Toyota Soarer Lexus IS = Toyota Altezza Lexus RX = Toyota Harrier Lexus GS = Toyota Aristo Not sure what current LS is based on though... | |

| Re: AMuS compares S 500, LS 460, 750i, and guess what?? Actually, come to look at it, the S-class wins the first test also. Perhaps the cars are just ordered by which was tested first? |

| Re: AMuS compares S 500, LS 460, 750i, and guess what?? Seems like this thread is much ado about nothing...  AMuS has a long history of MB bias (just ask cawimmer or Just_me who has been researching the test results) so don't be afraid, MB will still win the most tests by a large margin. |

I can't believe that they changed the test result - I think it's a mistake...  | |

Thanks Ree, sorry for my repost. Did you guys notice that they even confused their results? In reality it is a Mercedes who accelerates faster and breaks better, on their site it seems to be BMW. How can they be so inaccurate?? | |

| Re: AMuS compares S 500, LS 460, 750i, and guess what?? This what AMS readers prefer. When I clicked the link, I saw that the S-Class placed last, and in the scans, 1st place. HUH???  Thanks for the scans REE.  And yeah, AMS is generally very MB biased - because they're in Stuttgart!

| Re: AMuS compares S 500, LS 460, 750i, and guess what?? So, more points means lower position.  Or the positions are wrong. Because S500 has highest scores, and 750i the lowest ones. |
