    Luxury? S-Class.
    Handling and ride? Probably 7 Series. Audi falls somewhere quite nicely in between. Really though, cant imagine much between them, unless the S-Class is decked with options, some of them are rather exclusive.

    Of those 3, I'd go with the Merc,
    I haven't actually driven the current model of the Merc or Audi though...

    Maybe not the Benz, i've read too many road tests that were cut short by warning lights.

    Warning lights are part of the Merc experience for me.

    Shame, isn't it? As far as I can see, the last real Mercedes was probably built in or about 1993.

    I drive the old S Class (W220), have driven a few of the new ones, absolutely amazing.

    Drove an 07 BMW 730 diesel which was stunning.

    A8 I haven't had the pleasure of.

    Lexus is part of the Big Boys now with the current LS, it's a beautiful looking machine.


    Edit: and hey, you feel something is wrong if you don't get a warning light in a merc.

    Brilliant car. Don't know where you'd be able to hire one.

    Swap the A8 for the S8 and forget the others.
