I agree with your take on the BMW end but couldn't disagree more in ref to Audi and MB.
The new ECLass is awful and a big stepback from the previous model, in terms of looks. Theres nothing about the E's look that screams luxury sports sedan- a too busy front, the column behind the rear door looks American-ish, and rear is bland (I didn't see any confidence in that design). Conversely I'll agree on the S, it's the King of Kings, period.
As for Audi, what's inspiring? The new A4 is putridly boring and in severe regression from previous bodies. The A6, not another word is needed.
And then theres the famous S5, loaded with body armour to jack up the appearence and it works, but the A5 is well nice, nothing more. If every 3 out there was an M, it would share the S5's unreal perception.
