Which do you choose?
Audi V-8
Lexus ls400
Merc E400
Infinity m45
Cadillac STS
BMW 740
Obviously the STS takes it for me, followed by 740 and then the Audi.

Since that’s not a 500E, give me the keys to the 7.

I was more insinuating that I would have taken the Benz if it had been a 500E, since it’s not I’d rather have the BMW.

500SEL, because Motorweek had to field a 400E to give the others a fair chance.

I really like the 740 - it’s a beautiful car, but on any given day I would buy the Lexus and get some upgraded shocks and tires.

In 1993, I would pick the BMW or Caddy.
Now? Just the BMW. The rest are gross.

I am referring to the early W140 which was launched as a 500SE and SEL before they changed naming schemes in mid-’93

The Infiniti is a Q45, not an M.
And I would have to buy the STS because I think 1993 was the Northstar debut.

Lets not give them more credit than is due.
The Lexus had a more modern drivetrain and feel than a Mercedes whose design dated from a decade before it’s own. Color me shocked...

Any but the Lexus or the Cadillac. I like the LS and STS once they get more in the ‘99-01 range, but these are too early for me.

Well, I’m all for the STS and the Audi V8. And then I’m sad that they are the front wheel drive (-based, in the Audi’s case) vehicles. So, the BMW and Infiniti take runner-up status. Imagine my surprise that the STS was actually the quickest to 60 back then.

11/20/2017 at 03:21, STARS: 0
Yes. It also beat the W126 in 1989. And cost less than half as much as a 560 SEL. Also, I recall saying when it came out. That being said, I’d take a 560 over a UCF10 any day. However, the W140 was a complete dog.

Shhh. You can’t deny that the LS400 was a revelation in that segment when it was launched. As I said above though, I’d take a W126 over a UCF10 LS in a heartbeat. Also, bad news, if everything goes to plan the S600 goes to its new home tomorrow... I finally fixed all the little shit that was wrong with it earlier today, then went for a nice long drive. I’m not ashamed to admit that I spent a good 30 minutes crying about selling it. I loved that car man. Did you see that they axed the S600 for the 2018 model year ?

The LS400 was a revelation, yes. But it’s always been a little half-and-half for me. Initially, I dont know what segment it was competing in. It wasn’t an S-Class, but it was bigger than an E-Class.
I did not see they’re dropping the S600 sedan. I thought that I saw we were going to get an S650 Mercbach convertible though?
"V12 Jake- Hittin' Switches" (jbv12)
11/20/2017 at 12:50, STARS: 0
Yep, though I think they’re making something like 300 total so idk. In other news, I still have my S600. The person that told me I could get 11-12k wasn’t there so some schmuck offered me $3500... I was out of there so quick lol.
"Land_Yacht_225" (nadenator)
11/20/2017 at 15:16, STARS: 0
No kidding? LOL.
The curse of the S600. Nobody wants it until some poor bastard does. If they run, drive, and hold themselves up on the ABC they’re worth $10,000 retail, trade should be $7-8,000. I asked my used car manager at work what he would give me for mine, and he said $4,500.
Maybe it’s a sign? Enjoy it while it’s all working.

I’ll keep driving it until it sells, but I’m not selling for less than $12,000. The kicker was that he quoted a check engine light as a reason for that low price. I know for a fact that the car has never had a CEL during the time I’ve had it. Maybe he was confused with the SRS light ?
