I have no much idea about Li, ll speak about 550. I felt it has got Complicated controls, and as usual Mercedes prices are too high, fuel economy is not good.

Excellent way to get the 2 Germans make a better car.

The final results are that the 2010 and beyond German top 4 door sedans will get a better shot on their investment

How can u compare the old 7 (the s550) w the new 7. The s550 is the copy of the old 7. And no 1 can convince me that is not. Unless u blind u cant see that is a copy of the old 7. The new 7 has new concepts new features everything new about it. On the other hand the new s550 is a copy nothing more nothing less.

Just to add, if you buy a 7, black interior (IMHO) hides all the elegant design features and colour combinations that make it the best. Get beige, which is teh best option – they also used it in their marketing materials (obviously the best looking choice). Black makes the interior look common and small. The woodtrim does not stand out! It is like a normal 5 Series, when in fact it can look so much better.

Went to the dealership again today and had a look at the 7. I just cannot bring myself to like the front. The rear end with light tubes is a looker but the front is just too foreign. From the huge, thick milky (white) eyelids – almost like those desert reptiles to the big flat nose with horizontal sltes as well. It is presence in a droopy, ugly fashion. I am attracted to cars with sleek, futuristic, modern design with flowing lines.

I also own both of them and there both 2009, and i honestly can say the S550 is a much better car overall, tested them both for my self and got to a conclusion of S550 being a better car.

Dont get me wrong both of the cars are amazing and make a statement, but the S550 definitely beat the 750li

@Matski: Not really. Point is this... Bavaria's 7er won't match Mercedes' S. And it will never match it.

@Kay: Nope not insecure in the slightest, but I just love it when a Mercedes-Benz, or an Audi gets turned over by a bimmer in a review. You got a problem with that?

I suppose it probably comes down to personal choice, namely which styling appeals to the buyer.

It’s funny how people rejoice when BMW wins. Are you guys that insecure? 2 years later, BMW manages to beat Mercedes and we’re all happy? What about the 2010 re-vamped S class? that’s the one that should’ve been compared to the 750li

@Gil, do a test drive, compare some older models :) Now honestly, which one you like better? I believe the older S was a great car

@Lance, maybe because the grille is so large? I wish the grille was so smaller.

From this angle, the 7′s headlight should have been designed bigger!

I really like both of them. I own both (the old ones! not the new ones, lol). I guess they market to different groups (performance vs. luxury). Or maybe not. At any rate…. they’re both lovely.
