lOl, what the heck happend to the Audi A8!!!

The S-Class has successfully held it`s postition for quit some time but the Audi A8 is not even listed as it once was, at a tie with the S-Class.

Looks like the A8 has fallen from the throne of grace.

Well, what a nice unbiased little thread this turned out to be



Anyhow, should I be surprised by this result?

This is what I would expect from the S class.

 

[Tarek]

Wow the S really wiped everyone else,the new 7 and A8 have a very tough job

 

[GTA45E]

Predicted reliability for the S-Class has actually gone up since last report!

Even in it`s final year the current 7er is no match for the S-Class.
At the end of a cars` life cycle all is supposed to shine with quality.
Hopefully the 2009 7er will improve in the ratings.

When Mercedes is on top of their game a BMW never compares with it in quality. A Mercedes was always a higher quality car until they dropped the ball in the mid to late 90's.

^Good news i expect it to be in top until the day the W222 comes along

 

[Merc1]

Well to be fair that is the old 7-Series listed for "2009". The newly released 7-Series won't be on the survey until 2010.

Those are some horrible ratings for the F01, what's wrong?

Actually it should be much sooner than that.
I still don`t expect the new 7er to beat the S-Class in the ratings. Ferthermore I don`t expect the overall quality to be 1 or 2-folds better than the 08 7er.

 

[Merc1]

This is the first 90 days survey right?

If so then the F01 7-Series won't appear for a good while since the car just went on sale. I don't know why they have the F01 picture up there when that isn't the car suveyed.

Why the hell do they put the same rating that on the 2008 model but with the 2009 name and photo?.

 

[GTA45E]

Thats correct Merc1. I guess we can expect to see reports about mid-Summer then.
