A SLE HZ would be nice too. Owned a HX Caprice for 2 weeks once, boy could make his payment so signed it over to me.

I have a Mercedes 2008 S500 (5.5l V8) - hauls *** with out the possible reliability issues of the 6.2l AMG cars..
I paid $26k in january, been a great car so far - so much fruit, like heated rear seats, active cruise control & Night vision. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...18909116/?Cr=1

I'm a simple bloke so a Grange or even a Caprice would do me nicely. Don't really care for luxos that much.

This would be nice, wouldn't take any crap on the road.
I reckon, deep down some nerdy car designer at Chrysler modelled the 300 off of it.

There's way too many I like. Everything from a Fairlane ZH 500 to a new 7 Series.
I think I'll pick a black Maserati Quattroporte. Maserati's seem to be quite rare and I like to be a little different. |

Love the Mercedes W116, soft spongy seats with matching suspension. Fantastic long range tourer and high speed cruiser, only difference between 90kph and 140kph is the fuel consumption.
Although I would consider swapping it for a real nice 351 ZG hahaha

I have G220 which I'm happy with. I like lots of different brands and models.
If I had deep pockets I'd have a look at the Jaguar XJ. Below are some cool examples not available in Australia: Lincoln Continental Coach Door Edition https://www.lincoln.com/luxury-cars/...coach-edition/ Cadillac CT6-V https://www.cadillac.com/sedans/ct6-v |

 The bonnet is so big you could use it for a picnic bench for Islander family get togethers. I should probably mention a VS Caprice on the luxo barge list given I actually own one, its less 'luxo' and more 'barge'. |

Bentley Arnage T. (2007+ Model)
Properly restored of course. 6.75L, twin turbo, 1,000Nm of Torque. Then I'd hire a fuel tanker to follow me around.

My old man had a P6 Town car when I was 17, burgundy with gold pin stripes. He put on a set of 8" hotwires, then ruined it by fitting a bodgy sun roof to it. Nice enough car but it wasn't fast enough. I was taking my mum and sister to Adelaide in it one day, getting along at 160kph when out of nowhere I get passed by a long wheel base merc like I was standing still, closely followed by a V12 jag. The pair of them had to be going 240 easy.
Money no object would be a bespoke Continental GT. Common sense every day driver, not sure. Toss up between a jag XJ or maybe a A8 Audi.
