Style and elegance is the precise definition of this market segment. Not only can Mercedes have it, they're taking it to the bank.

You say you'll "take this new look", but you won't. YOU are not buying a 7. Trust me, Ford doesn't care about what I think when they're designing their next F-150. I'm not their market.

For BMW, it could be yes and no. The only 7s that beat the S-Class in any sales year were the The E38 and the E65 generations. The similarity is that they were polar opposites of the S Class, and they were both strong sellers.

Today it's a blood bath...3 to 1 sales numbers as you pointed out. So BMW must go bold yet again.
