The current sevens is one of the most dynamic and at the same time the most technologically advanced vehicles on the market. But the somewhat boring appearance, and the little impression of the interiors are for many a reason, to transfer any six-figure amount to BMW. Instead, it is used on the smaller 5 series, or in the direction of the Mercedes S-class, Audi A8 or even the Tesla Model S is oriented.

The brand new Audi A8-Generation is just shortly before its market launch and with a new Mercedes S-class, we are not to be expected before 2020.(ml)
