Wink COMPETITION: what would you choose instead of LS "if you had to"?

OK guys, let us see your tastes next to LS.

lets say you have to change your car which is LS, and you can't choose LS again( I know ). What would be your choice??

Let the competition of tastes begin......

agree with you ONLY with A8 and 7 series BUT not CLS because it does not have much room from the inside.

I hear you on that my LS is basicaly a coupe so that's why threw the CLS in there...i just love the sporty nature of the CLS 55/6.3 so if i had to have a big sporty car it would be a toss up between the S8 or the CLS 55/6.3

Depends on what price range we are talking about. For sub $100k, possible a Maserati Quattroporte as some of you are aiming for AMG CLS' For no price, its gotta be an Aston Martin convertible.

Next car I'm going for something more "exotic". I know the maintenance will be a lot as it gets into that realm.

I would to try the Audi A8 and S8, but I am afraid of their prices $$$$

the Q45 looks good choice I've never tried it so I don't know about its performance. BUT, their prices are so GOOD

Man, no domestic lovers here???? Ugh... if I could not get the LS, then I would get the Equus...

Really, I would have to stay in the Lexus family and get the LX instead, just for more size and seating capacity.
