Question What car should I get???

Well, my dad actually, I'm not gettin my first wanted car until next year... he was askin me, and said he's considerin a new XJR, A8L, or RS6 to replace our 00 XKR... what do you guys think? any other suggestions? i think he wants to move away from the sports car thing for some reason... o and we have a 03 S500 4Matic, so ya know 2 S-classes is a lil excessive... lol....

got a point there

You got a point there.

For your mother an A8 would be nice but those are quite pricey so i had in mind a 7 series or maybe wait till the new 5 series comes out. An E500 is always nice too.

hope this helps
