ZeGermans, Italian, British, Japanese, Korean, or American?

Cadillac CTS

BMW 5-Series

Audi A6

Mercedes E-Class

Jaaaaaaaaguar XF

Maserati Ghibli

Lexus GS

Infiniti M

Hyundai Genesis

I'd pick the Cadillac, but you all already know that I think it's pretty much motoring perfection. I really like the Infiniti though.

What would you guys pick? And let me know if I forgot any.

At first, Audi. Then I saw the Maserati. The Ghibli is one of my dream cars.

If were talking strictly current model year, I'd have to go with the Cadillac too. Id take the Audi but I prefer RWD.

My gut says the Genesis, my head says Audi, but my heart screams Caddy.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY don't want to pick the CTS, due to "BIASED" calls, but holy fuck, it genuinely is the best american sedan ever made, possibly the best in its segment. Only one I like even nearly as much is the Lexus because Predator (1987) is one of my favorite movies of all time, also, the dudes at the local lexus dealer hate me for looking at their current crop and making clicking noises and going "I ain't got time to bleed"

There's just too many great luxury mid-sizers on sale right now.

3. A6.

It's simply the best car GM has ever made. I have to agree with it being the best American sedan ever made. It's just motoring greatness.

Gimme the Caddy. Runner-up: The Lexus GS and its fine-ass interior.

"best car GM has ever made"

It's okay, I get a little confused sometimes too.

I like the GS, the grille looks best on it.

Toss up between Benz (wit the turbo diesel engine of course!) and the JAAAAAAAG.

Kidding, give me the keys to the Audi.

Oh, and dont fire the Maserati just yet.

Eh, I'd prefer a wing delete. Sleepers are my jam. But more power is a very valid point.

The Benz looks great in blue.

And then the Jag is just, well, a Jag.

Acura is with Lincoln, reliving their glory days.

Lincoln Motor Company sir! Remember, the Town Car didnt even happen, and oh yes, our grilles ARE designed after flying butterflies.

Except the for the Navigator, we don't know what our inspiration for that was.

I think it's okay, I like the new Expedition a lot. Maybe even more than the Tahoe..

Does it matter what trim level? 550i M Sport if we're limiting it to standard models

RAPTOR!

no, minivan. I. I dont even comprehend this stupid decision from my parents, but ill post the complete picture anytime soon of why we are getting rid of it and why it needs to be a van.

It's a tie between the CTS, the Ghibli and the E(63 AMG S wagon)-Class.

ARE THERE LITTLE HUMANS INVOLVED?

Get a Ford Flex! It's a minivan without the sliding doors.

Vicente Esteve > Logansteno: Bought a VW? 06/21/2014 at 22:23

We dont get the Flex here..... But they are starting to import them to Mexico. Though my mom is ADAMANT and by adamant I mean obstinate to get a minivan.

Hahah, no, its the little humans with guns, tatoos, and backup that could steal the truck from us if we even dare take it out of the city. They dislike minivans (In my moms mind). But yeah, we have heard ENDLESS stories of people that took their nice truck/crossover to the highway, and a roadblock of black GMCs, Chevy Pickups, Lincolns just stops them, asks them (not politely) to get of the vehicle, and they leave with your things. Oh, and they take your phone as well. Hell, my neighboors Loaded Passat V6 got stolen IN FRONT OF A CHURCH!

Thankfully this hasnt happened to us, nor have we experienced such horrible things. For the last 4 years we have gone to the States in a Jetta or in rented minivans. The Expedition has only gotten use in the city, which is a waste of everything. Sad to see it go, but the fear man. The fear does horrible things.

AMGtech - now with more recalls! > Logansteno: Bought a VW? 06/21/2014 at 22:45

I think my top choice is obvious, but it would have to be diesel or approaching 600hp.

#2 Jaguar

#3 Maserati

#4 Infiniti

#5 Cadillac

#6 Audi

#7 Lexus

#8 BMW

#9 Hyundai, although honestly I would take an Optima long before a Hyundai.

I'd choose the Ghubli. It's certainly not the best and not the cheapest, but it's incredibly charming and has an exhaust note to match.

If I were a budget minded consumer, however, I'd realize that the Ghibli really does't compete in terms of price to the others.

With that said, it would be a tough battle between the A6 and the GS350. Ultimately, I'd end up with an A6, even though my father currently has one.

Dang you, Logansteno. Of course you would go with the CTS. And of course I would, too. Now would you get out of my mind already? Sometimes I feel like this picture could even represent you and me.

I has those same keys.

Mine just have some lovely black plastic on them.

And not even a passkey chip, interesting. I'm pretty sure that I do have a car with those keys, but I haven't seen it in far too long. Although maybe my 95 Z28 had the two separate keys, too.

I think '94 was the last year they used the two separate keys. And my Safari is a '94 so I'm one of the last few!
