[Hanswurst2k]

You are totally missing the Porsche Panamera in the Poll. Please add it. Thats the one I would get, if I had the money to spare.

I don't think it's that comparable to the ones listed currently.

 

[SVPSkins]

Does look nice but don't like the front, looks a little to busy for my taste.

The Mk1 has to be the best looking 7 Series

 

[MatskiMonk]

Some of us have taste. That's basically it.

The XJ is okay as long as you never so the rear half of it...!

I do like the Panamera and would prefer it to any of those, but I left it out because it competes more with the MB CLS, BMW 6-GC and Audi A7. I'll still add it though

 

[townha99]

Porsche Panamera and Kia K900 added to poll

 

[Hanswurst2k]

I don't think it's that comparable to the ones listed currently.

With a long wheelbase option up to 3140mm I think it very much compares to those.

A7 2914mm (based on A6) / A8L 3122mm
CLS 2874mm (based on E-Class) / S-Class 3035mm

 

[VXR]

I don't much like the exterior, but an M760i would be nice to top the range off without going full M7.

A7 2914mm (based on A6) / A8L 3122mm
CLS 2874mm (based on E-Class) / S-Class 3035mm

The S Class has a wheel base of 3165 mm. But sorry about that, I totally forgot about the Panamera executive.

 

[Hanswurst2k]

Thats ok. I totally forgot, that the S-Class is only available as long wheelbase in the US. Here are both specs German and German long wheelbase / US

Thats a chinese option only, not comparable.

The Panamera is a BMW 6GC, Merc CLS and Audi A7 rival.

A real Full Size limo that isn't here would be the Maserati Quattroporte

 

[townha99]

@mustafur Its not only a chinese option. In America, we get it as well. I'll add the Maserati.

 

[Anthony]

@Anthony , I actually would much rather take the S haha. Just wondering, why do you prefer it to the S-Class? I think the S-Class looks much more like a $90k car than this. This looks really plain and dreary to me.

I like the styling much better. The S-Class is nice but it just reeks of "old rich guy" to me.

But regardless, I'd have an Audi RS7 before either of them.

Good lord, quad turbo diesel. With torque figure exceeding that of the Porsche 911 Turbo S.


Imagine if that would be equipped with optional 4WD.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Seems likely they will offer one. There was an M550xd, so I think there will be an M750xd

 

[alonsof1fan91]

This one for me. Or the A8 with the V8 TDI engine. Best car/engine combo I have ever driven.

 

[05XR8]

I did choose the A8 initially but, if I were in the market, changed to the Panamera. I've always wanted a 928 and look like this is the closest to it. Plus, my brother has a Macan Turbo. Don't want him having all the Porsche fun.

 

[Swagger897]

Got to drive beside a new Pnamera Thursday, sank in my seat a little bit..

Drove beside the A8L today.... almost ran off the road..

Yeah, I recorded that but yet to watch...

But I meant as in I stared for a bit too long and started hitting the rumble strips...
