LS460L/LS600hL. reclining rear massage seats. If i'm keeping it 5-10 years, i'd want reliability.

Audi A8.

because in 10 years, it will still look the same as the newer model. It will never look outdated.

I want reliability, not just a good few years and to the junkyard.

FIRST POST WAS EDITED! ReRead. Pick a Car from EACH Class (Compact, Mid, Large), and Why?

Which do you think you get your money's worth, or is the Smartest Choice?

Again, these are cars you will keep for 5-10 years.

No Jaguar? Would definitely pick the new XJ.

easy:

C63 with the optional package that increases hp and raises limiter for its brute power
M5: never thought Id be a beamer man, but the new 5 is gorgeous and tech features abound. Id also like to see what the hype around the M model is all about.
S63 amg: not the 65 but the 63. the holy grail of large sedans, the S class is the pinnacle of luxury and style

Class car and great power.

My neighbor down the street has a white '08 and it's gorgeous.

Basically what I would have chosen, although the LS460 comes really close!

SaintNexus

I personally think when it comes to Large sedans, the LS460L is the best. You get what you pay for, and you're not overpaying for anything.

Fully Loaded Large Sedans
BMW 750Li costs $129,869
Audi A8 costs $130,455
Benz S600 costs $178,334

Lexus LS460L w/ Executive Package costs $82,730

I won't be overpaying by $47,139-$95,604

You just get more bang for your buck when going with the Lexus, which is why I prefer Japanese cars (Lexus, then Infiniti) over the German makes.

RXSF

lol for some reason, I read including S', Ms, Fs, and AMGs.

easy:

C350: chose it two years ago, will choose it again for its gorgeous looks
5: never thought Id be a beamer man, but the new 5 is gorgeous and tech features abound.
S550 or 600: the holy grail of large sedans, the S class is the pinnacle of luxury and style

I would take the Lexus in each category since I prefer reliability and be free of headaches!
