A replacement?

Porsche Panamera. I know it's of a different class than the LS', but it'd be my next on the list of preferences.
Mercedes CL used to be such a beautiful car, but the last design just wasn't up to Mercedes beauty standards. Let's see what they do with the S coupe (the replacement of the CL).

The facelifted S-class looks really nice. The current 7 also really catches my eye. What don't you like about your 600?
On another note, I would love to have a weekend car. Would you be interested in donating your 360 or M6 anytime soon?

Panamera Hybrid or S350 Blue Tec. Im all for going green and these were the only 2 cars i looked at other than the LS. If I had to pick SUV the new Range Rover but the top two were the only ones i seriously considered.

Replacement vehicle ........
This might surprise a lot of people .........
But if I were to do this all over again, and we also own a MB SL-500, me and the Bride would SERIOUSLY consider ................. <drum roll please !> ...............
a Hyundai Genesis.
A VERY very impressive vehicle, from a company known for high-quality more and more each day !
At excellent pricing also.
I feel sure this will spark some strong guffaws, but wut the heck ? ! It's good 'ole American Freedom.
Y'all play nicely now, y'hear ? !!

Panamera is a definite yes! Porsche has an excellent quality record which is important to me. Porsche also has the performance heritage which is a big plus. The Panamera is also available in AWD which is an option I want. It also has a fair amount of room.
It is not the prettiest car on the road but my previous LS 430 wasn't either and I was very happy with it for nine years.
Mercedes is over priced and under quality
Audi I like but quality is not consistent enough.
I would stay away from Range Rover - have you seen their quality numbers - bottom of the barrel.
Mikey - I too am impressed with Hyundai's record. Why not the Equus - too new a model?

I mis-spoke (not the first time ......LOL !)
Edarte: Thanks for the correction.
I actually meant the Hyundai EQUUS !
My son just bought an Elantra, replacing a 200,000+ mile Santa Fe. So I got a chance to see a few EQUUS in a dealership.
Great car - EXCELLENT pricing advantage also.
And this Hyundai dealer (Atlanta) .... what a "poor deal" my son negotiated ..........
he only got a LIFETIME POWER TRAIN WARRANTY included ! (Cost = $0.00 !)
This company is out to capture a TON of market share. More than they also have.
Best Wishes to all ........
