2010 BMW 7-Series vs. Its Competition

2010 BMW 7-Series 4-door Sedan 750Li RWD Side Exterior View
Martin Padgett Martin Padgett Editorial Director

The BMW 7-Series is smart to pick its fights mostly with the Mercedes S-Class and Audi A8.

Today's S-Class looks imposing, but doesn't quite have its styling act honed.

Its AMG-gone-wild editions one-up the BMW's lightly done Alpina edition.

The next Audi A8 gains some distinction, but we have serious reservations about its Palm Pilot-like controller for audio and navigation.

The Jaguar XJ is the sexy alternative, radically removed from its stuffy past with an aero body, a swinging new interior, and amazing backseat room.

Remove the backseat, make it even more gorgeous and expensive, and you have the utterly fantastic but impractical Aston Martin Rapide.

Want tire-smoking performance and backseat space, but don't care much about aesthetic perfection? The Porsche Panamera hits all those notes, with a 0-60 mph time of about 3.3 seconds for Turbo models.
