Where some people choose to find Nirvana within the world’s most ferocious supercars, others tend to prefer the gentle giants of the world, cars that offer the ultimate luxury money can buy.
Of course, the two (sportiness and luxury) don’t necessarily need to be mutually exclusive, but when it comes to comfort, those who aren’t on a budget never seem to want any compromises. Which in turn, raises the question of where our own “loyalties” lie within this segment – and that’s exactly the type of thing we’re hoping to find out from you guys.
Here are the rules: You can only choose from the following models, all pretty much belonging to the luxury limo segment (though not all of them rival each other). Also, we’ve left out the Maybach Pullman because it’s way too long, and the Aston Martin Rapide because anybody who’s ever sat down in the back of one, has probably wished they could switch to a Ford Fiesta instead.
Candidates: Audi A8, Bentley Flying Spur, Bentley Mulsanne, BMW 7-Series, Cadillac CT6, Genesis G90, Jaguar XJ, KIA K900, Lexus LS, Lincoln Continental, Maserati Quattroporte, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Mercedes-Benz Maybach, Porsche Panamera, Rolls-Royce Ghost and of course the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Before you start voting, keep in mind that all of these cars are meant to be driven as well, not just driven around in – so dynamics, comfort, tech, interior and exterior looks are some of the factors that you might want to consider.
By the way, the Panamera is on its way out and just made the cut, but seen as how it’s still a premium sports saloon and plenty spacious in the back, we’ll give it a break for the sake of diversity.
