I too went with the BMW 5-series and would opt for the M5! It has the best of all worlds in a car!
At least I can read..the 5 series up there is for the 530/540, the M5 is in another category :fawk:

Allright, AcuraFanatic, it's time to add Maybach to the list. Just read the latest issue of C&D, and low and behold, what do they drive? A Maybach 57, and they ride in a 62. Let me just say this: when Car and Driver opens a review with "This is the best car we have ever driven. Hands down. Pay up.", you know it's the best. And for $300,000.00, it better be. I don't care if its not on Autobile's list, but I want it on there and I want a vote. What other car in the world has an adaptive moonroof that you can actually emulate day if it's night, and night if it's day. Or how about 2 -- that's two -- sets of twin piston calipers on each 18 inch front rotor, enabling the massive vehicle to have shorter stopping distances over 100 mph than a Porsche 911? I can go on if you still need convincing that this is the new level of ultra luxury.... Rolls Royce? Mercedes s600? Chevy Cavaliers compared to this thing. Read the article. Trust me when I tell you.

Is it just me or is this category a little wide? I mean, the RL and Maybach in the same poll

The poll is based off of Automobile Magazine's poll, which didn't include the MM.

Who cares how it looks..... it's like a perfect combination of lear jet and private yacht luxury and room with Porsche 911 Triptonic performance. Even I can get past the looks when you can change the tint and contrast of the moonroof at the touch of a button. I don't care if it's a box on wheels..... when you can combine the best of every world, have your cake and eat it too, and make an S600 look like a Fisher-Price toy, you have the best hands down.
