Arrow give me your opinions on car choices

have been thinking of a few cars. One the AUDI RS4, the E550 4 matic, RANGE ROVER SPORT-SUPERCHARGED, AND EVEN A M5 (BUT I THINK THAT'S A LITTLE MORE THAN I WANT TO SPEND) AND A FEW OTHERS.

which would you suggest purchasing and why?
I would be trading in my 450h.
I just get bored easy and want something more hands on, with a awesome luxury AND sport ride.

The RS4 I built was about 75K, same with the E550, and the sport was about 80K. I am not really considering BMW, b/c well I had and sold my 550i. would consider purchasing it again, but just wnat something different, and hopefully better...

Lend me your thoughts.

The RR sport was well, about 75K with the supercharged engine, but nothing really special besides that.

Am I making a silly decision wanting to possibly sell the GS450h?

I just need variety and change.
Been looking at a F430 used of course and a S6, even... .

JUST TORN.

lend me your suggestions.

RS4 doesnt qualify for awesome luxury which you required, the car does not look/feel anywhere near 70k luxury wise

I totally understand your feelings, boy can I relate. After many years and many generations one day I just said no to the LS literally and gave it to my aunt. Personally I would recommend the CLS55 as a good luxo/sport combo, not sure what it comes in at on the $'s but I think its an awesome balance.

I personally would feel slighted in an RS4 FOR THAT KIND OF MONEY, the STI and EVO would make me feel a bit qweezy everytime I'd see one and not because they're ugly.
