Look at these competitors--there's not a slacker among them.
These are expensive vehicles that all promise some mix of luxury and performance.
It is this fluid balance that you must be able to understand before you make your purchase decision.
If you value luxury over performance, the Mercedes-Benz models will be for you, although the CLS is more engaging than the larger S-Class.
The Lexus LS 460 is also a luxurious isolation chamber of sorts.
However, the all-aluminum Audi A8 L and the Jaguar XJ are cars that encourage their pilots to be involved and happy drivers, just like the 7-Series does.

Controversially styled, the 2008 BMW 7-Series still performs like a smaller sedan and carries rear passengers with ease. | The 2008 Lexus LS 460 is a little lacking in personality and presence, so it’s a good choice for those who want top technology and comforts without attracting undue attention. | Hark! The 2008 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is loaded with top safety and comfort-oriented technologies and is one of the best luxury sedans in the world. |
