Best luxury sedan/coupe around $70 to $80K

[Brock Landers]

I am currently in the market for a car in this range. Not wild about the Mercedes S class. I have kind of narrowed it down to the BMW 7 series, the BMW 6 series (sports coupe) and the Audi A8. Anyone have any opinions? The Audi is a little slower, but seems a little more unique.

I would love the Masserati, but it's a little rich for my blood.

BTW, if some interpret this as a brag post, that's not my intention. (I am leasing and can write off at least 80% for my business)

Any help is appreciated.

Is the E63 AMG Sedan too pricey?

6.2L V8 w/ 507hp for 85k

Holy crap that car looks badass! Is that $85K with everything I need? How does that compare to the BMW M5? Are the 2008's available now?

Not quite sure. I would like a little sportier look. That E63 AMG has definitely gotten my interest though. My local Rusnak dealer has it listed as $93K for the internet price though.

I've always liked the BMW 7 series, but I like the idea of a smaller, faster car. Has anyone driven/looked at the Audi A8.

If I can get the E63 for $85K, that might be the one for me.

You should definately drive the LS460. Its a great value for around 72k. The car is super smooth riding and very fast and luxurious. PMMe for more info.

I'd go with the Audi. I really don't understand all the Audi hate.

Getting an A6 soon myself. A8 is too big for me, and I can't afford it lol.

Anyway,I always have a hard time navigating Edmunds... That site is so unintuitive. Here's a JD Power link for the A8:

Compared to other cars in its class:
