Hmmmm they don't seem to like the ride and handling combination too much. Interesting.

Was hoping it was better than the S-class in that department.
This is actually the first negative review I've read about the ride and handling -- especially given the introduction of the all-new four-wheel air suspension, but I'm taking it with a grain of salt. Most reviews have been from the perspective of an individual driver -- to wit: Sam's excellent review http://www.7post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1181556

Because the MT review was written from the perspectives of multiple drivers who took turns driving the car, they tended to egg one another on a bit. And, yes, some of the complaints are just ridiculous (body roll; car sliding into oncoming traffic; etc.). These claims look ridiculous when compared to what other professional drivers are saying about the car.
