Give me an AC Schnitzered out 760iL lowered on 20s and I'm straight. Living life thug style; the official new body sedan of the NBA.

yeah i figured that the RR & Maybach would totally be in a different category when I wrote the survey, but I also disclaimed that up front.
someone mentioned that the maserati doesn't belong in the same category, but pricewise it fits perfectly (high 90's / low 100's). I won't vote for it only because the Maserati brand is too untested and Italian cars are notorious for problems.
a couple people mentioned that the Bentley doesn't fit, but I think it could possibly sneak in (for example you can get a 2 year old Arnage T for around $175K-$190K)
I think the Audi will be awesome, but there is such limited info on the north american version of the A8 W12. The Euro-spec definitely gets my vote! Any news about an S8 coming out??
The BMW is boring and horribly underpowered compared to the mercedes. The AC Schnitzer package is pretty sharp though.
Mercedes is a fantastic all-around luxury sports sedan, but as other people mentioned, it looks too much like the 10 million other S classes out there. Maybe if they made an S65 in the future...

No S8 although rumors still persisit on one. Check out the Alpina B7, with BHP500 from a supercharged V8. Should be a better performer..

2006 SWB Audi S8 will be sweet and only " car guys " will understand it. However it doesn't look like the Lambo V10 will make it into it's engine bay . That's probably reserved for a future RS8 ( whoa ) .
Most high end buyers prefer the " accessibilty " of the 7 series and S-class " image " as broadcast to the public.

I think they'd look just as good on a Cayenne too.
Not sure about a smaller car like a TT.
Can someone do a pshop job?

A Range Rover may not qualify as a sedan, but I'd pick the upcoming Range Stormer over any of these low riders.

I think you left the two or three best off the list if you place more emphasis on sport. The M5 outgoing, current RS6 and current E55 certainly belong in any sport sedan list. I've driven the first three on the list and would say they represent more room and luxury than the three I propose. Overall, as a value i like the A8 and believe they are making an S8 but will price it too high.

I'm picking audi also for sedans. I like where the audi is heading with their designs and techologies.
