Trust me, you had a bad experience. My S600 was a nightmare from a reliability perspective. I lost lots of money in depreciation and maintenance. But that's my fault. I didn't pick the car right nor buy it at the right time. While the R8 is an exotic, remember it's just an expensive Audi so maintenance won't be truly…

Great one Tavarish. This is the engine and transmission to have. The V8 is so underrated.

I thought this too, until I finally heard a V8 version. The startup and low-rev sound was to die for. It sounded like an ALMS car. The V10's at low revs all sound like diesels, the only difference is the varying degrees of diesel-ness. The M5 V10 being the highest on that scale. Considering the AWD you can still dust…

That would be cool, but don't think Doug would want the attention this thing gets after just having owned a Ferrari.

It's so cool they expect you to adjust things at 7500 RPM.

2009. I bought it in 2012 for a stupidly high price and bought the first car I saw, letting my emotions get the best of me. Car was a dog. I had the $4500 warranty pay for itself plus more, but it wasn't easy. I had to fight to get everything covered. Like my window shades they said "oh this is not covered." I…

I love the scale. Haha even as a second owner I got hosed in depreciation on my S600.

Cadillac has a while to go with their dealer network and marketing. I'd only consider a V because then I'd have a world beater for my money. But as good as a regular CTS V-sport is, I wouldn't buy one if I were in the market. I don't care how this makes me sound because when I'm spending $70,000 on a car, I need a…

They do! But out of the box the AMG tugs at my heartstrings.

You're absolutely right they do. And I feel the opposite for the new M's. I think the sedan looks better.

Oh my god I want one. I couldn't do those 2008 tail-lights though. I hate them as many people hate the Porsche 996 egg-headlight design.

Yeah the M3 needs a sunroof. It's a fast 3 series not a track toy where the carbon roof makes a difference.

My car was a 2009, but I don't think it was running any updated software. Meaning it had a 2006 level Distronic cruise control.

Maybe my S class had a primitive system then. If I'm remembering correctly, the minimum distance I could set was like 3 cars. And I had the collision avoidance and auto-braking. The latter worked twice in 2 years of ownership. One time I would have stopped in time, just. The other I definitely would have crashed…

Sorry about that. I think I remember the term from Top Gear, was it when they were talking about the RS4?

Haha no worries.

That's exactly what you should do so you can spend some time finding the right car.

Yes this. I want to know how fast it snaps off shifts once you call for them via paddles. Is it satisfying?

Is is just me or am I the only one who's tired of the corporate Infiniti dash? It's not timeless like a 911 where the designers can just evolve it. All they did was sharpen the vents, add a 'marina' theme wraparound wood like the QX56, and threw in a BMW 6 series swoop towards the driver by the gear lever.

White? Haha those would be unicorns here in Philadelphia. Here they're black or red with straight pipes and plasti-dipped black wheels.
