I pick the factory-built Cadillac Limousines up to and including 1976. They have the ride you would expect in a limo, 9-passenger capacity and longevity.
Here is a '76:

I also like the stretch Cadillac and Lincoln limos.
I happened to see two stretch Lincoln limos, so I snapped a few pics with my Lincoln parked behind them.

My car looks small next to these two!

Of the cars here to be driven in I'd pick the Audi; luxurious without being ostentatious.

Quatroporte is the driver's car out of these, so why you'd want someone else to drive yours is a mystery to me - it's like hiring someone else to sleep with your mistress.

However for a car to be driven in, my first choice isn't one of the options: Lexus LS600h Hybrid. Quite, comfortable, smooth, good for the environment . . . Who cares if it's not fun to drive - I'm not driving it.

Only somewhat good for the environment.

I would get a fully loaded LS460 extended instead of the LS600. That's if I were on a budget.

But if I were really rich, I'd go for the Audi W12. Awesome looking car.

LS600h has AWD, is quieter, has more torque and gets better fuel economy than the LS460.

That being said, I love the Audi A8 W12 too.

I dunno. The fuel savings isn't really that dramatic to get the LS600. I'd just rather save the money and get the fully loaded extended LS460.

Or the W12 Audi or even the S8.

Why is AWD "better"?
