LA Auto Show: Best Seats in town!

Mercedes-Benz all new CLS 550: Excelent seats with premium package!

One of my favorite evolutions is that of comfort inside the vehicle. So for this year’s LA AUTO SHOW I decided to give my opinion about seating and interior feel.
The S-Class: Maybe the best seat out there!

Regarding the luxury vehicles, nowadays it is hard to find a bad seat. What varies more are the different ways you can find your best position. Some cars have so many options you take too much time figuring out the power adjustments. 
All is possible on the S-Class power-seats.

Volvos still have the most comfortable and easy to find positions in the car industry. Only top of the line Mercedes and other big priced vehicles can tackle at the same level of comfort and anatomy.
Mercedes-Benz CL!

As for these expensive automobiles, Mercedes-Benz luxury liners have incredible seating, particularly on the S-Class sedan and CL Coupe. Not far behind are BMW’s 7 series and 5 series GT (the GT is similar to the 7, not to the 5 series). Audi, the other German competitor becomes welcoming once you are above the A6 level.
BMW GT: 5-series based on the 7-series platform.
BMW GT: Almost the same as a 7-series.

Figure out all you can do with the BMW driver's power-ajustments!

In terms of SUV, nothing beats the traditional Range Rover, even if it still uses the commands of the time it was owned by BMW. The new Range Rover Evoque is a great comfortable and avant-garde small SUV.

With British comfort!

The Japanese are not behind at all. All Acuras and Infinitis have exemplary seating. Although the new Acura ZDX and Infiniti M are better than others.

Infiniti M.

Infiniti M has amazing comfort as all Infinitis!

The Acura TSX Wagon is amazing at afordable prices!

On the American end, I would have to stick with Lincoln. Their MKS has amazing seats and touch technology center commands for audio and air-conditioning. Buicks are good too, but Cadillacs have too much of a hard seat. 
The new Buick Verano.


The Verano is a Chevy Cruze with better trims and good seats at affordable prices.
Lincoln MKS: true American comfort!


Ford and Lincoln now have touch sensitive commands!



As for more inexpensive options I recommend the Ford Fusion and Subaru Legacy as two sedans that really have very good seating and comfort. Honda Accord is also a good option. Unfortunately, the NEW CIVIC is not as good as it used to be.
Low profile comfort and space!

Hope this helps enlighten how comfortable one should feel inside an automobile.
