ls460 better, but the s-class was just designed (suspension) to go really fast for LONG periods of time (autobahn).
seriously though not sure why you're test driving the gls and x7... x7 is too small based on all you've said, and gls is too expensive.

Unfortunately it’s still not an S Class lol
It’s not “too expensive” it’s just more than I wanted to spend. If we really like it I would buy it.

Yesterday we almost Carmaxed 24 hour test drove a 2020 Escalade but didn’t feel like it at the last minute. Still want to get around to it. I’m really interested to see if it has the refinement of an LX. I know it’s faster.

Not sure how he will get those HP numbers.
Is the engine already built up with a supercharger or is he doing that himself as new owner?
Chicks dig euro cars!
Kids, dogs, stains, etc.
Spoiler
Trying to give SW a reason not to drive a daily that isn't as new or nice as the family hauler. lol

Honestly, for a family hauler ya'll know that anything you get will take a beating no matter what you get.

If the car is going to get beaten to hell by the dogs and kids, you rarely drive it, and your wife gets absolutely no enjoyment out of driving it and it's basically an appliance to her, then your problem is solved: get something in the 45-50k range and put that extra money on an increase in your budget for your next car. You can probably do a Maybach with the V12.

I do drive it some, I drive it on trips, I would take it to WV instead of the S Class, I would drive it more than I drive the Pacifica because I would enjoy driving it.
Plus, she does like it. It’s going to take something she likes to get her out of a minivan.
I really don’t want to buy another minivan, so if it’s that I would just keep the one we have. I miss the automated driving features on a trip though, and I would like AWD.

Hmm yeah, that's the issue with expecting crossovers to have the same interior dimensions as a van. A van is very practical and is almost perfect. I say almost because they are so ugly compared to a sedan or even a typical crossover. That's the only issue, really, at least for me.
