After a short history lesson and noting "firsts" that now appear on many family and economical cars , Clarkson fails to test drive the car after it refuses to correctly accept the telephone numbers Clarkson suggested. The S-Class test is a classic example of the new, less conventional style Top Gear has adopted. Jeremy said in his introduction "this car has a very economical, twin-turbo, 6.0 litre... I don't mean economical, do I? I mean massive V12." Eventually, he does get it on the road where he demonstrates the radar-guided cruise control. He ultimately deems it a fabulous car. Review: Immediately following the S-class review, Jeremy then goes for a test drive in its rival, the Audi A8. He notes that the Audi is more of a sports car than a luxury car. He further says that it's not better than the Mercedes, not even slightly. He says the Audi is better to drive, but the Mercedes is more refined and more comfortable.
