What is your "cost is not object" sedan of choice?

[GasX]

I think I'd go with the Maseratti Quattroporte, but I am wondering why it depreciates so fast....

 

[PricklyPete]

Porsche Panamera....LOL...just kidding.

Cadillac CTS-V for sure.

 

[JDub02]

either a Bentley, Rolls, or Maybach. Whatever is the most outrageously expensive.

Then I have to move to a state that doesn't have a yearly car tax.

but, what car would I buy if I were reasonably loaded?

CTS-V, most likely, or some Mercedes. Depends if I wanted sporty or cushy.

E63 AMG - not really sure I would consider anything else.

Sure it's not a track car and the Panamera will run all over it, but that thing is really, really...ugly.

Because it is a luxury item.

I've always been a fan of the Mercedes CLS personally.

Cost no object?

1948 Buick Super Sedanette with a re-engineered frame, upgraded suspension, and an upgraded and re-engineered straight 8 for good measure.

If cost is no object, why not go for something that can turn heads anywhere?

 

[evident]

uhh if i get free lifetime maintenance, then a maserati quattroporte!

 

[Zenmervolt]

Porsche Panamera Turbo.

Sure, the styling is, um, charitably speaking, "interesting", but from the driver's seat the car is gorgeous and the reviewers are universally praising the driving dynamics. I can put up with the hatchback quirkiness for the driving experience a Panamera would deliver.

Until the new M5 comes out, it would have to be the CTS-V. However, I think that I will obtain one as my daily driver in a few years.

 

[Zargon]

the new V, one of the high end AMG 500hp sedans......

 

[ayabe]

FWIW I've seen some used M5's still under warranty in the low 40's.

Still a lot of change, but ohh so nice.

We were at a Porsche/Audi dealership this last weekend and they had one of these. I obviously didn't drive it, but I did take a look. The interior is quite plush and nice. I'm sure it drives like a dream. The car looks great from the front/front 3/4...the back is just hideous. I'm sure it is a fantastic car though. That being said, the sticker on it was $122,000. It may have had Ceramic brakes or something...but holy shit! I don't think I could spend that kind of money over the CTS-V when the CTS-V is such a great package on its own with nearly identical performance. I'm not huge on the CTS-V styling either...a bit too much chrome/overwrought...but still.

In my current situation in life along with cost no object and lifetime maintenance, I would choose a BMW 760LI.

Twin turbo charged V12 along with all the creature comforts of a 7 series along with the extended limo-like back seats.

I'd make that my family cruiser and drive all over with my wife and 2 kids.

Beautiful!

The new Aston:

Rolls Royce Phantom

and a driver to drive me around in it.

CLS63 AMG, easy choice.

 

[GTaudiophile]

BMW M3 Sedan.

The CL MB's are just too lozenge-like to me, looks like a Nyquil gelcap or something.

But I'm pretty unapologetic about my love for the new E class in all of it's various forms, angular and angry looking.

 

[Arkaign]

CLS is indeed beautiful, and my favorite Mercedes, but as a BMW guy, I'd probably get one of those super crazy 'high security' edition extended 7 series.

Also E63 AMG.
