i also really like the new EQUUS (such a weird name to spell lol) but to me it seems like they just got to the level of the current LS and will, or has been, out of trend. Do you guys get what i am saying?

Also, i have had some hands on experience with the Panamera and it really disappointed me. the quality of the interior is NOT what i expected at all and it was almost impossible for me to find a good seating position that was comfortable. Now the driving dynamics is great and its a more fun car to drive than our LS's but i guess you sacrifice rear legroom, headroom,etc...That is only my experience so other people may have some different opinions on it. Also, they are very popular now here in my area so the exclusivity factor is absent.

If only the new XJ had some re-sale value and proven reliability then i would just on that immediately.

equus is definitely one hell of a car (for that matter genesis r-spec too). but if talking about the high end quality and details, i am not sure if it's the same level as the ls600hl or other cars at the 6 figure range yet. hyundai is improving big time though

I think I would try a panamera turbo, of go back to an infinti Fx mainly the 50 they are still ugly to me compared to the first gen but there quick. I am not too excited in trying to find out about Mercedes or BMW reliability. An Audi s6 or s8 would satisfy me or even a A8. SUV wise nothing really impresses me to give up on gas mileage but......

Honestly, without that badge, no body would buy it. Porsche= 911, Cayman, Boxster.

No Panamera, Panamera Turbos are still pretty pretty expensive and the looks are questionable, I think if I got a porsche it'd be a 911 TT (993 997 along those lines) or a GT1 (yeah, **** yeah.)

hyundai... hmm... what to look out for? I'm going to wander the dealership tomorrow
