Most enjoyable: Audi A8 4.2 TDI.

520d would be my second choice. Amazingly low fuel consumption and 143mph is probably enough. Plus with the active seats and standards wheels and suspension it must be quite comfortable.
But the Merc is slightly faster, more comfortable and while thirstier it has a bigger tank.
PS. I 'm superised henk4 didn't choose a Citroen...
