Why is BMW putting a twin turbo V-8 in every 4,000 + lb car it builds if it doesn't pertend to be a sporty car. The fact that Ford can make a $38K car perform as good or better than a $50K 5 Series let alone a 750 says a lot about Ford.
Do you think that tech in the suspension of the 7 is to help it achieve a sporty ride or to isolate occupants from even the harshest of road conditions? My bet is the latter. Do you think the twin turbo V8 in the 7 is to help it achieve sports car acceleration or to help provide it with the ability to pass Captain Planet in his Prius driving 55 in the left lane without having to floor it? Again, my bet is the latter.
