Caddy. Few K in mods and she is a 10 sec car.

Few years ago it was funny to see the V8 Caddy's running around. Now one pulls up and you really gotta check that front grill to see if it's the US beast. Definitely earned my respect.

Other choice would be used but newer body style S65. It will always be the god of torque. ECU/TCU flash and it's the Space Shuttle.

Used going for 80's right now.

E55
S550 AMG sport package. Road presence, build quality, and comfort.

CTS-V. Power and imposing stance.

Quatroporte. Driving experience, refinement, and uniqueness.

I'm waiting for the new twin turbo 5.5L E class to come out. Probably CLS55 or CTS-V, though the latter has an unsightly interior for such an expensive car.

Audi S8, M5, but I would not go down the RS6 road again. Once was enough... unless they bring the new one to the U.S. I would go back to the AWD side again for that one!

E55, E63, M5, CTS-V & RS6...they are all very similar to one another. They are all very nice cars but at least to me they are all in the same category of cars.

If I don't have my E55 that would only meant I have chosen style over power of a vehicle. In that case I would want a Maserati Quattroporte....simply a 4-door Ferrari! Yeah, baby!!

CTS-V, maybe a white M6 but being a torque addict I'm not sure. C63 is a nice option too
