Jaguar XJ, BMW 7, Audi A8, Mercedes S
Which one of these cars would you pick if you had to?
I'll start off picking the Jaguar XJ. It looks stunning and has a beautiful interior. And, being a Jaguar fanboy, this really isn't a hard choice for me. I personally think the Audi A8 looks the same as all other Audis, and except for the A7, they all look rather boring. The S class is absolutely amazing for comfort, but I never really liked the looks of that either. The closest to my pick of the XJ was the 7 series, a stunning car with great performance for a car of its size.

I work for BMW and obviously love the newly designed 7 series esp. the Alpina version.
I have always loved the Audi A8; even before i worked for BMW...but the vote went to....
The S Class. Put simply; it's the best!

S Class redesign is coming soon, and although it is a benchmark, the tech/body is slightly dated. The A8 and 7 are brand new and dynamically great cars... and the XJ is an absolute steal at its price point and I agree it is stunning. The new A8's face is amazing and although the general shape is derivative of other Audis, the car has a menacing presence on the road. The interior is a work of art also. The 7 is a bit understated, but has the best seats, engine and technology IMO.
Hmmm... I haven't helped at all. They are all fine choices and I don't think you'd regret choosing any.
If I were to choose one, it would be the car with the best driving dynamics and handling feel, while still being luxurious: the 7.

I was stunned at how magnificent the XJ looks when I saw it in person. Really think Jaguar did a great job redesigning an icon.
My choice is still the S-class. It simply can't be topped in this category. Looks are great. Comfort is top notch. Technology is ahead of the rest. S-65 if I could.
Like the 7, but it's not at the top.
The new A8 looks like nothing more than a stretched A4 with fillings from the the parts bin in Ingolstadt.
