What luxury car should I buy/lease?

...Posted this on the Off Topic section, but those guys are just goofballs lol

I'm looking to buy or lease a nice luxury car. All I have right now is my 500whp evo as my daily driver, I love it to death, but it's starting to become a pain as a daily driver. I need something that doesn't **** off the cops and something a little more reliable.

I'm also the CEO of a successful online marketing agency, so I need a nice luxury car to fit the image and give out a more professional look, and give off the right first impression when I pick up business partners/clients from the airport. (Last time I picked a biz partner from the airport my evo broke down on the highway and we got "chauffeured" home by a tow truck...

I'm making around 20-30k a month, what would you guys recommend for a luxury car? I've been looking at BMW M6 but I don't think I like its curves haha, I have to see it in person again. What would you guys go for?

If you make that much I don't know why you are asking us poor folk ...buy a E92 M3 or the upcoming Audi RS5. Those would be my two choices...not much of a fan of the M6. I know if I made that much I would say bye to the evo though...maybe a track car I suppose. Btw need any business partners???

Bentley GT or Mercedes S Class if you want a pure luxury car, and not a sports car like an M3.

S-class but get the S550. In the S500 if your passengers are 5'11"+ they won't be able to sit in the back seat without hitting theird head on on the roof liner, plus 400+bhp , driven one and it drives great!

What are you smoking? Evo X is about the farthest from luxury as a honda...oh wait the honda has a nicer interior. Go sit in a M3 or Audi or any higher end German car...makes the X feel like a plastic crate imo.

09 Acura TL Tech SH-AWD

Great looking car with an amazing, tech filled interior. Also pretty quick, sounds great and handles with virtually no understeer (referring to the SH-AWD). Acura runs really good lease specials and they hold their value better than any other luxury brand.

Audi RS4 or S4 if you want four wheel drive, or the E92 M3 sedan, if you want bigger get an S6 or an M5. I'm assuming you want a four door though
