Maser for me... then the Rapide.

The Estoque is the butt in butt-ugly.

For me, I'd get a black BMW E38 short-wheelbase 7, stick the S70 V12 , E39 M5 V8, or a Chevy LS6 in it along with a manual transmission, coilovers, LSD, big brakes, BBS wheels, and call it a day.

If I had to buy off the lot, probably an Audi S8, the fugtastic Porsche Panamera, or the E90 M3 for a smaller car.

The M5 is soooo ugly. Not to knock its performance, but the styling is atrocious. Looks like Audi stole the styling of the Estoque(minus the front end) and put in on its concept cars.

They own the Estoque. It was probably the same (drunk) designer.

I would take the time machine for an E39 all day over these mostrosities

Amen on the E39. I dig the Touring version.

The most desirable 4-door in the next 5 years will be the same ones as in the last 15 years:
W124 Mercedes-Benz E500
E39 BMW M5

I'll disagree. The BMW's are ugly, the MB E series are nice, but they are not the most desirable.

I think the Aston Martin and Porsche are going to lead in the most interest, but I'll still take the Mercedes S65 personally.

The 7-series BMW is due for a revamp. I would think that has to be a contender.

It may not be a $150,000+ exotic car... but for $85,000 or so... that could be a nice car.

I am partial to the S550 Mercedes at this point. But then again I dont know much about the exotic Italian car market, so i really cannot compare (to the S550).

the New BMW 7 series is driving around right about now.

My boss is getting a new 5 series next week to replace his 7 series. I really tried to push him towards the Jaguar XJ but he seems to only want Mercedes or BMWs.
