750iL
Guys,
I drove a WMB 750iL today for an hour. It was in the executive
garage for competitive assessment. I like it alot, but the engine (which
is the only major difference from the 740iL I drove last fall) didn't
really impress me enough to want one. The thing that was really
impressive was the chassis and suspension. It handled VERY nicely,
taking Flint on-ramps at 80 - 90 with no trouble at all. This is
impressive. It is also very smooth and composed, and controlled.
However...
Although it has been a while since I drove the A8, I think that
the A8 is still a better car for a few reasons - Quattro, multilink
suspension, Aluminum space frame (weight), Tiptronic, performance.
