I would get the E60 M5, then head out to Alpina and have them moddify it to my tastes...

20 inch rims, twin turbo, new exhaust system, sunroof, bodykit, and Suicide lambo doors baby.

reliable, good milage, doesnt stand out too much, high quality, easy to service....

granted there are nicer, and there are faster, and there are more "prestigious" but i think the lexus cars have a good balance of everything

...except personality. Fuck Lexus.

First of all I would never buy a luxury car. As Jon said, I would never employ someone to drive me around (unless it was an F1 driver to drive me in a 2 seater F1 car). But for the sake of keeping this thread alive I would have to go with the Rolls Royce Phantom. It's just perfecrt.

I found it difficult to choose because the started said "no high maintenance costs"... what super luxury car won't have high maintenance? The Phantom's parts, servicing, and gas consumption are huge. And that's without insurance.

If you ask me, between the new Bentley Arnage, Maybach 62, and Rolls-Royce Phantom, I would definitely go the way of the Phantom. I've been in one, and I can assure you, the quality will absolutely blow you away. The day I did that, I sat in a Jag XJ, then a Quattroporte, then a Bentley Continental GT. When I got into the Phantom, the first thing that entered my mind was "definitely worth £240 grand."

Rolls Royce Phantom for me!
It looks like the grandfather of luxury cars.

An ultra luxury car to keep, (no resale) and you have to drive it some.... well, in that case:

Who can argue with a grill that looks like the Pantheon?

Seen it in real life, and it's awe-inspiring.

and i def think bentley should be added to the options - u can pay 300k for the car, but services are too expensive?

well lets say that the "client" well spare no expenses to get it, but after that it has to work flawlessly (to a certain extent), and after that the "client" doesn't want to pay a dime after it is aquired.

Sounds like a client for a Vauxhall diesel.
