FIRST POST WAS EDITED! ReRead. Pick a Car from EACH Class (Compact, Mid, Large), and Why?
Which do you think you get your money's worth, or is the Smartest Choice?
Again, these are cars you will keep for 5-10 years.

easy:
C63 with the optional package that increases hp and raises limiter for its brute power
M5: never thought Id be a beamer man, but the new 5 is gorgeous and tech features abound. Id also like to see what the hype around the M model is all about.
S63 amg: not the 65 but the 63. the holy grail of large sedans, the S class is the pinnacle of luxury and style

I personally think when it comes to Large sedans, the LS460L is the best. You get what you pay for, and you're not overpaying for anything.
Fully Loaded Large Sedans
BMW 750Li costs $129,869
Audi A8 costs $130,455
Benz S600 costs $178,334
Lexus LS460L w/ Executive Package costs $82,730
I won't be overpaying by $47,139-$95,604
You just get more bang for your buck when going with the Lexus, which is why I prefer Japanese cars (Lexus, then Infiniti) over the German makes.

easy:
C350: chose it two years ago, will choose it again for its gorgeous looks
5: never thought Id be a beamer man, but the new 5 is gorgeous and tech features abound.
S550 or 600: the holy grail of large sedans, the S class is the pinnacle of luxury and style
