IS250.. well I guess a lot of space, both trunk and passenger is sacrificed for the exterior look... It is shorter than the 3series but yet the shape is as sleek, and that equals less space, less headroom for everything..

I think MB will be strong next year, before the next X5 comes out which from latest CGIs do NOT seem to look so good, the ML will sell very quickly.. i mean in NZ, they dont' even have a spare one in the showroom! The S will of course sell much more than the 7, probably stalling the 7series' sales... At the moment, i'm in Hong Kong and there are quite a few E65s around, quite a lot of facelifted ones as well, i guess this is because the old Sclass really is aging and BMW here i think has competitive discounts...
