Well even that's not strictly true. The Phantom is still an excellent car Artist - look carefully at where it looses points against the Mercedes:

Exterior Styling - that is purely subjective ...and I for one would beg to differ with their decision.

Performance and handling etc. - well sure, but the Phantom weighs considerably more and has a much higher center of gravity.

features and amenities - sure, the Mercedes is jam-packed with gadgets - but the Phantom's designers deliberately kept things simple and austere - that was entirely intentional - to deduct points for this is to misunderstand the Phantom's culture and character.

Fun to drive - is this even relevant - if i want fun, I'll buy a Ferrari.

Price - ???? where's the relevance?
