Re: The Alternatives: Quattroporte vs. XJ vs. LS vs. Flying Spur vs. Phaeton

Well, here is my top:

1. Pheaton (A8 wannabe )
2. LS (great looking car)
3. Quattroporte (I just don't like the front that much)

You're right in a way Audiholic... My dad has always called the Phaeton the affordable A8, that's one of the reasons why he bought one.

And yes, I don't like the QP's front too.

Jaguar XJ for me. Pure, traditional classiness.

Re: The Alternatives: Quattroporte vs. XJ vs. LS vs. Flying Spur vs. Phaeton

For me there is no contest here, the a Quattroporte Sport GT stands head and shoulders above the rest on the desirability scale for me. Then there is a interesting 3-way between the LS, XJ and Phaeton. The Phaeton is as handsome and elegant, but understated car as you can get, and the interior is to die for. The Jaguar XJ, particularly the XJR and the XJ Super V8 are quite unique and I'm likely the only one that likes the facelift. Then there is the Lexus LS460L, the Japanese S-Class. It should come to no surprise to people here who know me, but the Bentley Flying Brick is dead last here for me for obvious reasons. So I think it would play out like this:

1. Quattroporte Sport GT
2. VW Phaeton
3. Jaguar XJ Super V8
4. Lexus LS460L
5. Bentley Flying Spur

Maybe because with a base price of 70,000 Euros, this car isn't a "people's car" anymore.
