Is there Any REAL Competition In The Business Class Segment Other Than The 5-Series And E Class?

In 2016, the gloves come off for Round Seven of the eternal duel between BMW 5-series and Mercedes E-class. And it’s shaping up to be quite a fight.

That the next-generation business-class saloons are going to move much closer together in technology should come as no surprise; a tougher legislative environment brings more stringent emissions regs, the need to further boost comfort and safety, and the demand for more product proliferation.

Short and simple: No

But that doesn't mean Merc and BMW can rest on their laurels as everybody wants a piece of the action, think A6 and Lexus GS (at least in the USA)

I'd suggest the Ghibli is probably taking BMW as the sporty sedan of the group.

Isn't the A6 a "REAL" competitor? Hasn't the A6 beaten both the 5er and E in recent comparos?

The Asians have competitors in this arena too...one can only imagine why you left them out.
