BMW 7-Series G11/12 and its Competitors

That Phaeton interior, gosh, looks like something from the 90's.

It does, but it looks especially Teutonic with good materials and craftmanship.

Its going to be really interesting to see how the new 740i compares to the Cadillac CT6 in the weight savings and overall performance catagories.

I think the Caddy will hold the edge as the drivers car.
Cadillac also claims a weight of 3700lbs (1678kg) which is an incredible feat for a chassis
that uses no CF. That might be for the turbo 4-banger though. The Turbo 6 will weight more but I don`t think it will eclipse the new 7er.

I fail to see how a Cadillac can be any close to a bimmer in anything.

While many may scream "bias" since Car and Driver is a US publication, I remember they heaped quite a bit of adulation for the CTS' driving dynamics compared to comparable 5er and A6. A big reason for such praise was CTS' lighter weight contributed to a more nimble ride. And usually C&D has a massive hard-on for BMWs and, more recently, Audis.

Like a 1998 Passat. No wonder nobody wants one anymore. The exterior is still ok in my book, a bit bland perhaps, but that interior is just a big red nono.

Not in a million years it will be.

Glad to know am not the only one noticing this
