We've had this thread before and omitting the Maserati QP is preventing to select the best one.

Best Luxury Car

Definately the Bentley Arnage Red Label as far as it is self driven for the sheer joy of driving and luxury combined together.

Your usually excellent english unfortunately has me stumped this time.

I can understand why people think that the Maybach is the best car, with all the high tech stuff, but it really doesn't look right.

Wheras the Phantom looks as if it has been hewn from a solid piece of metal, and despite not being a beautiful car, it is excuisitely detailled.

It clearly carries styling cues from past rollers, but combined in a modern avant-garde way.

Where is the heritage of Maybach? Where is the heritage of Mercedes?

It looks like a slightly bigger S class, I think that it will not stand the test of time, and won't be a future classic.

The interior of the Rolls in terms of quality and finish is also superior, despite not having as many gadgets as the Maybach.

The Maybach is for yuppies and celebs, lottery winners who have money to burn.

The Rolls is for the discerning gentleman, to accompany the country estate, saville row suit, and fine Port.

Thank you, what I wanted to say is that if you make a poll about the best limousine, you should include the QP. The others I do no want to be seen in.

When you have the more superior Mercedes in the form of the Maybach, it isn't really competition.
It may be a good car, but just not the best.

I'm with Henk

The Maseratti is a lot nicer than the cars in the poll, in comparison it seems subtle, sensible, even understated. The others all seem to share that 'Gold Brick' sense of fashion, as if it didn't really matter what it looked like as long as it was clear the car was expensive

An actually limo? the Rolls. The Maybach is beautiful and very luxurious, but the suicide doors are the difference. The Rolls is just too sexy.

Stretch limo? BMW 7 series.

I'd go Audi A8 actually.

It's always appealed to my head, being so competant at what it does, and the new face seems to work ok on it, regardless of it's beauty. MMI is better than i-Drive and it's all the car anyone will ever need. It's not vulgar, or repulsive, or oozing in wealth, but it's an understated compromise.

plus, you can go for a lower spec model without it looking like a Rental (Mercedes S350 anyone????)
