Since Mercedes launced its S-class back in 1998,lot of things changed to the category of super executive saloons!
Merc dominated that sector until BMW launced its 7ser & Audi launced its A8.
Still, a lot of european & american & british manifacturers try to have a piece of that (cake).
We saw the Jag launching its new XJR ,the Cadillac launched its concept SIXTEEN,VW's Phaeton......etc
The big question I'd ask is: which maker,in your opinion,would dominate this category in the near future?

Hard choice, but the Jaguar supercharged engines are the most appealing to me.

Although it is difficult to choose between BMW,Merc,Audi as they all are fascinating I've chosen the Audi.It is just more appealing to me than the BMW which is,a bit,chunky.The Audi is also more adequate than the S-class.Any way that doesn't mean I don't like the S-class,it is just too good but I think the Audi represents fresh blood that is most needed....

as you all may see now i am like the biggest audi fan on this planet and i absolutely love all, and i mean all their cars. the A8, one of my absolute favourites. CAR the british magazine had tested the a8. the 7 and the revised s-class. the a8 was having the 4.2L V8, 4.4L V8 in the BMW and a 5L V8 in the merc and even though it had the smallest engine(it was not the least powerful) it thrashed the e65 and the merc. just look at the looks it basically tells you everything. its has a coupe like shaping but it is very spacious no doubt and that interior. that interior. absolute bloody brilliance. oh man too good to comment on in fact(LOL)
