Made my choice a couple of months ago - my DD choice for all weather duty is:
2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit EcoDiesel.
Fabulous it is. Always been a LR / RR fan but this is nice too.
Did you see the Moose Test before buying it?2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit EcoDiesel.

Obviously from what I drive I don't worry much about safety features... But just thought I would bring it to your attention.
PS... I like jeeps so not having ago at you for your choice.

RS6 is my dream daily driver, it just does everything you could want so effortlessly

De-badged Merc E63 AMG wagon would do me nicely.
with whistles and bell on. I see the RR arguments, but i love the notion that you're in family sensible car and have the ability to do close to 200mph if you feel the need.
I'm sure there's a 2014 model......

I'd love the Black Baron. What a symphony of evil, unfortunately its a 2010 car.

If I had to sell my car and buy a car built new in 2014 it would be an easy choice.
Requirements:
It has to be at least a 2+2 (sometimes I carry more than one other person around)
It has to be able to take a reasonable amount of luggage
It has to be RWD
It has to be an automatic
It has to be fast
It has to be as good on the drag strip (run low 13's/high 12's and be consistent) because I would want to continue racing
It has to have an MP3 player (or the ability to add one), cruise control, Air con/climate control and comfy seats
So other than some German cars that brings me back to a later version of what I currently own:
It meets and exceeds all of my requirements and it also offers:
Hot hatch servicing costs
The fuel economy will be around 20mpg day to day for me (similar to mine now)
£230 year VED (PLG tax band)
Reasonable insurance; my heavily modified 2006 GT came in at £420 this year for 10,000 miles per year average (30y/o, car on drive, no points, no fault accidents, full legal cover, courtesy car, all the usual refinements)
I honestly can't think of a better daily driver (for me anyway)
