Flagships! Do you prefer SWB or LWB?
When its time to step up to the D-class flagship most if not all offer SWB (Short Wheelbase) and LWB (Long Wheelbase) cars.
So the poll is simple. Which one for you and why? Or why not?
For example SWB
LWB

LWB because I need the room.
As far as looks is concerned, generally I find LWB looks better. However, some SWB does looks better than the LWB on some models.

Another vote for LWB. That said, I think Jag's LWB models look rather awkward, and would prefer SWB for the XJ.

LWB always
. If I want a smaller sedan, I would just go one size down to the GS/5/E/A6 ......

LWB unless its a jag or bmw 740, the older models, not the current ones. The jags always had really long rear doors and looked awkward, the bmw 740il had the same problem in my eyes

SWB because I like to drive and it looks better too.
If I need a limo, I hire one.

SWB for Lexus LS because I think the shorter one looks more natural.

Depends on who is driving. If I'm driving, I want SWB. If someone else is driving, I'll sit in the back and prefer LWB

LWB for sure. The shorter ones look no bigger than their mid-sized counterparts (5, A6, etc). As mentioned, may as well go all out when you are at this level.
