Okay, personal bias aside which one do you prefer more? What are your pros and cons for each vehicle? S600: I love the overall styling of it. Sporty, and agressive, yet elegant, and smotth flowing. I love the interior looks, the whole dash being computer generated. Interior Ambient Lighting as well. Power, man that thing can put out tons of torqure and horsepower, don't know how I'd use it. What I don't like is the steering wheel shape, a little odd looking for me. 760Li: The facelift is much easier on the eyes, I personally would very much consider it. The interior is little lost on me. But the ride is very nice, stiff when you need it, soft when you want it. A8L W12: Okay, I consider this to be the best of both worlds. You have the nice Quattro being standard, which is a must here in MI. The interior styling and exterior as well, top notch, IMO. And it looked really nice in the Transporter 2. |

NZ Benz - 4/27/2006 5:23 PM I like the new VW Passat. The A8? If you're gonna flame it, at least get it right.  *Sigh* it's the VW Phaeton. At much as I hate to admit it. |

I like the new Passat as well. However, it is not a big, fast, luxury sedan like the A8, 760, or 600,
But it certainly is a very nice car. |

Every single option is standard. YUO may be able to switch around some of the things ilke the 4 seat place seating and stuff (I think). Otherwise, you get everything.Regarding technology, oh yeah, it's advance. Which brings the Lexus LS600hL to mind, forgot to add that in. It's supposed to be the world's most technologically advanced car ever. |

Is that Lexus REALLY a V12? Isn't that one of the first production V12 cars from Lexus? It doesn't actually have a a V12. As you may have noticed recently from the hybrid versions of Lexus, they get more powerful. The LS600hL has the power of a V12, and the fuel efficienly (or lack thereof ) of a V8. It's actually a V8 motor assisted by electric motors. 
But I'd rather have a V12 or W12.
It is still a race between the A8 and the S600 for me. |

yeah, i cannot wait for that Lexus LS600h to come out, like asianml said, one of the most technologically advanced cars out there, not too mention first 8-speed tranny in a car, buttons to close the rear doors (incase rear-seated passengers are too busy counting there money), and it will parallel park itself (minus the braking the driver has to do at the end). Suffice it to say, it will be one amazing machine and should warrant the near 80 percent increase in price. |

The A8L in Transporter 2 is actually a V8 model with a W12 badge on the grille.
You can tell by the tail pipes - they're twin round pipes where the W12 has twin trapedzoidal pipes.
Just a little bit of useless info.

Yeah, I felt like a looser when I noticed the truth haha.
I went with some friends to the movie and my bro was "that car's wicked" and I was thinking "It's just an upbadged 4.2"
I think they actually had a W12 6.0 for the stationary beauty shots with him waiting at school and talking on the cell, but the driving car is actually a 4.2 - if anyone doubts, I'll find images and will prove it hehe
I think it's great how he had a 735i before and upgraded from an I6 to a W12.

Love W140 chase cars! Your 140 could drop the wife off at the opera at 9:00 pm, then used for mob activities and chases at 10:30 pm
