    Since the Maserati is the more sport oriented of the three, I would go with it.

    I don't know why but I find the Maserati hideously ugly. After expecting a real beauty, expectations risen due to the GranSport and Spyder, it was a disappointment.

    The Audi- again, it's not as good looking as I expected. The old A8 was much prettier.

    Jaguar- ditto the Audi.

    Y'know, I'd take a 2001 XJR, in black, with cool 20" rims. None of these pretenders. Or a Mercedes S55 AMG.

    Maser obviously.
    as Taz said, the most sport oriented of the 3.

    Anyone who buys a V8 is, by law, not allowed to worry about fuel consumption. ¬_¬

    so why are people buying the BMW 745d, the Mercedes 400CDI or the A8TDI?
