What Full-Size Luxo Sedan would you choose?

[SunnyD]

Hey guys, if you had to choose a full-size luxury sedan in the 60-80k price range, what would you guys choose? I'm thinking about going with the Lexus LS430 with the ultra-luxury package...seems like it has the most amenities compared to BMW and Mercedes, but what do u guys think?

Easy------Q45. no question.

Among what's currently available, I would go for either the LS430 or the Audi A8L. If reliability is not a concern, then probably the A8L. The 7 series is butt ugly. The S-Class is getting old. The Q45 really doesn't seem to belong in that group based on my observations at the dealership/car show. The Jaguar XJ8L might be pretty good, but I'm not into Jaguar's styling.
I do think the new Mercedes CLS is very intriguing. It looks great and probably has every luxury item you could ever want. The only thing is I'm not sure if it qualifies as a full-size sedan.

Isn't E55 or E class in general midsize? I thought the full size Mercedes was the S class?

A8L or S-Class

For me it would be a Pontiac Sunfire loaded with leather!!

lol, yeah right! The LS 430 is a nice car but the exterior styling is way to bland for my tasted. To me, it's more of an older persons car.

I am definitely with Martin, the E55 AMG...no question. It's got all the luxury I need.......and with 469 ponies....giddeeup!

A8 no comparison needed!

LS430. If you get one of the germans, you'll be sitting in their loaner cars more often then the actual car you bought.

Why does everyone like A8? I never realli liked audi =.=" Full size lux...S-class all the way...it's like the benchmark. Mid-size...m5 or e55
