He said 'luxurious', not exclusive.

5 stars almost without exception acroos the range, reviews which include (I assume) quietness, comfort, reliability, quality of construction. The fact the they are affordable enough to be somewhat less than exclusive doesn't mean they are any less 'luxurious' than a Bentley / RR / Bugatti or whatever. We know Jamie meant 'I hate BMW's success and people with company cars in their 30s/40s.....don't we?

I think I too would opt for a Porsche, but probably the 911, but only on the basis that if you're going that far, stopping at a Boxster seems like pulling out too soon.

I like the 911 looks the best of the Porsches.

I like the idea of quality construction and materials.

In a perfect world, I'd buy the new one for its quieter engines and soundproofing, but looking like one from about 1995.

Landcruiser Amazon 200, but i'd import a Far East (UN) spec model without the air suspension and spec a live front axle.

I like total reliability and solid engineerin, LC's have them in spades, Toyota deserve the business due to their unbeatable customer care.

Might have a Toyota Century too, complete with lace curtains.

It's all a matter of taste and relativity. Personally I find my F-i-L's A6 luxurious because it is so comfortable and the seats look and feel posh, but some people find those Merc G-Wagens to be luxurious, or an Overfinch. I find those tacky!!

How about a Duesenberg?

Bugatti Royale

John, I agree. If that's the definition of luxury, only a Rolls or a Bentley will do. People may prefer the firmer ride of a German prestige make, but that's a separate virtue - not really luxury..

I'd have a Lexus of some description. My days of wanting noisy fast cars are gone.

For me it would probably be the Bentley Continental GT.

A used one isn't a million miles out of sight, but still hard to justify a spend like that on a car.

Luxury is not only a comfort, speed and price but also the overal experiance with the car, with the dealer, reputation of the brand, satisfaction of owning.

For me sport cars are not luxurious, because there is not so much space and are uncomfortable.

Bentley or Royce are definately luxurious cars!!!

If you want to look like a football player.

But that's models based on the VW Phaeton or BMW parts bin !

Real Rolls-Royces and proper Bentleys from Derby and Crewe are definitely luxury - is anything else ?

As is said. You never own a Rolls, you simply look after it before passing it to the next keeper. That for me is why they are top of the pile.

But the badge-engineered BMW version simply doesn't have the heritage that Crewe-built Rolls-Royces had - and the big Bentleys still have.

The Arnage V8 prices are almost within grasp so I could soon be tempted.

I had a previlage to drive (or actually I was driven) a real ''luxurious car'' only once during my business trip in Germany a time ago and that was an amazing feeling sitting inside this car. I enjoyed every minute during this great ride and now understand why all people are so excited about it. The interior covered with leathe, very comfortable sits, minibar and just the great feeling alone. That was Mercedes S-class :)
