Select your 3 favorite mid level luxury sedans at this point in time. Since the competition is different with V6 engines vs. V8 engines, I will do a separate poll next week for the V8 models only.

My criteria is the same as the entry level thread, and once again I only choose two choices - GS and M.

The other two that I would remotely consider are the E and the 5, but neither really makes the cut IMO. I dislike the design of the E and wouldn't choose and engine that's 30hp down on the competition, and the 5 is simply too heavy despite it's good looks and beautiful interior. I'm also skeptical of the engine until we know that BMW has sorted out their HPFP issues.

I think the GS is probably the fastest in this group, it's reliable and good looking, and priced sensibly. The GS also has all of the tech features that I look for.

I know that the M has it's faults, but I like the car overall. I'd get it in sport trim, and probably in black or gray, but I find the interior to be beautiful and the exterior doesn't bother me like it does some others.

Same with you.

I could've picked others but:
-Audi (I only go for RS6 Avant)
-BMW (only diesel versions for me......or the M5)
-Cadillac (CTS-V wagon please....which is THE fastest American wagon)
-MB (either E250 CGI, E250 CDI, E300 or E 63 AMG station wagon for me )
-Hyundai Genesis (only V8 top-of-the-line only for me)
-Lincoln (Ford's Ecoboost engine is epic.......but I'm not familiar with Lincoln )

I chose the GS350 and the A6, nothing else on that list appeals to me.

535i, M37, GS350. In no order, but I like the 535i the most.

I really like the new 5-series look. It's elegant and restrained, unlike the E60. It has to win a vote despite costly maintenance.

The GS is also very attractive and conservative, a classic for me. Typical Lexus traits of smooth, quiet operation, and the best V6 in the world.

I must grudgingly include the MB E-class. Although I don't like the look and the latest MB interior ambience, there's nothing like the feel of cruising down the highway in a bank vault of a car.

waiting for your V8 thread... Hello Jag XF...

I would pick the 535, E350 and GS350 in that order. I want to like the M37 but the style put me off a little. The only thing I like about the M37 is the interior.
