So as I have brought up in a previous thread many moons ago - the affordability of larger luxury sedans becomes more and more within our reach. I for one, love large, obnoxious, completely unnecessary sedans, with reclining rear foot-rests, curtains, refrigerators, etc. So what do you think would be a more reliable, less expensive to maintain vehicle other than the Lexus LS460L (which is probably the most reliable)? -2006+ Audi S8: 5.2L V10 sounds amazing but the Lamborghini based engine scares me. -Maserati Quattroporte: Something tells me it would need major service every 10K miles…or less. -Jaguar XJR: Meh… Mercedes Benz S65 AMG: Twin Turbz V12 -Mercedes Benz S600 coupe/sedan: More 5.5L Twin turbz V12 action -BMW 760Li: V12 Thoughts/opinions on others? Obviously these aren’t racecars and wouldn’t be driven like one lol. I don’t even…that sound… [youtu.be/VtLVAY5Mdrg](https://youtu.be/VtLVAY5Mdrg) ---

car does sound sweet, but what happens when there is an electronic problem with one of the umtine billion gizmos? Car must have miles of wire and a shit ton of modules, those 2 facts would keep me from owning one. ---

The hidden electrical gremlins in most Euro cars scare the fuck out of me. ---

My pick is: Lexus LS \> Infiniti M (my car is kind of basic and still has a load of features - but the fully loaded ones come with rear reclining seats, rear cooled seats, etc. so it is definitely in this class of car IMO but it’s a newer brand who’s still building it’s reputuation, etc.) \> Audi A8 \> BMW 7-Series \> Benz \> Panamera \> Maserati \> \* The above is based on overall value, etc. Based on looks only: LS \> A8 \> 7-Series \> new M-series \> \* I am a HUGE fan of the new LS460’s…definitely hope to own one after the M or a few years later. Such an awesome car. Bottom line, to me, is anything Japanese \> anyone else. German/Euro cars are more expensive to maintain, tend to not be as reliable, and usually cost more than their Japanese counterparts. I’ll probably always buy Japanese. ---
