OC Report post Posted January 26, 2006 Anything particular that bores you with the car? One of my friend drove a Phaeton W12 and said it was amazing. The A8 will only be better, as it is significantly lighter due to an aluminium-chassis as opposed to steel with the Phaeton. -Olivier Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

why tryy Report post Posted January 26, 2006 i looked at the phantom really not made for an everyday driver, way to big of a car for me to roll Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben Report post Posted January 26, 2006 I use the Phantom daily. Very easy to drive daily as well. At least, where I live. Dont know how LA is for parking. -Ben Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

murclovr Report post Posted January 26, 2006 whytry for 3500 I wouldnt roll with that either, id get ur choice, the A8....just a gorgeous car, and never given enough credit:( subtle too if thats ur thing...Also depending on timing, of course u could go for an S8, or possibly if it suits u the lexus LS460.....all great cars. The phantom of course is incredible, but again, if price is a concern, that might not be ur direction:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancingBenzos Report post Posted January 26, 2006 Dont these two cars use the same navigation system though?? I would say go for the phantom or the baby Bach, or you can get a new S65 AMG. :supz: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robots_are_neon Report post Posted January 26, 2006 i vote for a8 w12, you will for sure not be disappointed, my girlfriends dad went from maserti to audi and loves it, the maserti just sits in the garage now, and her grandfather went from bentley to vw phateon but will soon be getting the a8 w12 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say go for the phantom or the baby Bach, or you can get a new S65 AMG. :supz: <-stupid Def S65!!! Who wouldnt want a large family sedan that with a little modding should be in the high 11sec quarter mile range? I Think with drag radials it actually will dip in to the 11sec range, I could be mistaken... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
integrate Report post Posted January 26, 2006 Audi A8 , RS6, BMW 760 is pretty great sedan and has a V12. :twisted: I think the flying spur styling is a little bland anyways. Good luck on your search Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnnick Report post Posted January 26, 2006 Maserati Q'porte for sure. Such a good looking car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK90077 Report post Posted January 26, 2006 Audi A8 is awsome. everyone has a benz i think for the price u have the best car. bentley is in a league of its own in that range what else dont u like about the flying spur? as far as navi goes the phantoms really sucks! the lex has the best by far Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK90077 Report post Posted January 26, 2006 Maserati Q'porte for sure. Such a good looking car i was looking at that too and i was concerned with the maintenence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z3RO Report post Posted January 26, 2006 I have Audi A8L. Great car. Love it. But if you are on the level of Flying Spur, I'd say the new S65. If you prefer it now, then A8L W12 is greatly recommended. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juice it Report post Posted January 26, 2006 I would say Arnage or S65 as well. The Arnage uses an Alpine DVD Nav which is nice and I am sure the new benz will be loaded with gadgets. For the money though, the flying spur is one of the nicest. Audis are nice but don't and never will carry the same weight as a Bentley. Get a year old Arnage T.

rakjoe Report post Posted January 26, 2006 I'm very happy with the BMW 750Li and trust me if I wasn't I would throw it off a cliff in a heartbeat Get it or the 760, you will be extremely happy with the car however it might not be the most flashy car out there and there is allot of them rolling around already. My second choice would be the NEW S class Merc, DO NOT get the old model no mater how good of a discount you'd get, they are major POS. Contrary to many here, I wouldn't recommend the Audi A8, I have driven it personally on many occasions and wasn't impressed at all. The car drives like an Oldsmobile and Volkswagen Pasat combined.
