Default The Bimmer...

...if you're shopping for a 7-series or an A8-series you want luxury accomodations for 4 full sized adults. If you don't really need that, get a 5-series or an A6. The S8 is not really too spacious. On the other hand, at 6'5" I can comfortably fit in the back seat of 750iL. I cannot do that in an S8. If there was a choice to get the A8L 6.0 I would consider that. The same reason above is why I would get an A6 over a 5-series. The 5-series has no backseat that's comfortable for adults. The A6 does.

Actually, they did the 740i, not the 750 (only a difference of 1 honda engine )

Read the new R&T, S8, S55, 740i comparo. No mention of poor quality at all.

Default Definitely the S8

The backseat is huge, the standard equipment is unsurpassed and you get Quattro. And design wise it is way nicer than a 7 Series.

Alright, it may be better than the BMW 7 series, but the S class Merc? Come on!
