Just got a new job and need a new car and it's my first time with car allowance so treating my self it will be needed for work though.
No 2 doors as it's a restriction from the company. I'd like android auto integration of the possibility of retro fitting

Tried g11 7 series like it but getting right spec is a nightmare

Wife likes g32 6 series GT same same issues Mrs would like surround view almost non have it

W222 s class neither of us liked it as much as the bmw's Mrs found the wheel too thick and found the front felt small despite the huge rear accomodation maybe not helped by everything been black in the one we tried

Jag xj/l I do like the look of them not driven one but not reliability does put me off slightly

A8 bit old now

Panamera?

We could go smaller as there is only 2 of us but we would like a decent boot don't really want a suv

Any ideas?

XJ? (351).

seats and noise levels arent as good / quiet as the competition but its character in the styling and interior (if you like it) is very different and well built, the mix of zf box with the 3.0d mapped is pretty impressive to, its a light car in comparison to competitors, a more fun drive because of this, doesnt feel big up front tho, smaller than w222 merc (i went from the XJ to the w222 S63)

I'd go for a V90 if you want an estate. I actually meant to suggest the S90....

What about a Kia stinger?

Less likely to provide financial ruin than some mentioned.
