why the hell do you need the "Protection"
Are you going to be doing drive-by's with it?
Or do you have a death threats against your life?

The armour weighs a crapload and will degrade the performance of the car.
 
Mister T: Yes it is amazing! Did you see the pictures of the interior? It's CRAZY! Very very elegant.

Also if you see the headlights is person..you'll be in awe. The rumour mill indicates that a 360+hp variant of the Q45 will appear in another year or so that will compete against the M5.

Personally, I feel the Q45 will displace the LS430 as THE luxury car to get. The Q45 is going back to its roots of being a performance luxury sedan. The 95-2001 Q45s were all flops while the first and second generation Q45 were ahead of its time..which resulted in low sales..unfortunately.
 
Yeah, I posted in one of the other threads about the 2002 Q45. 340 ponies standard under the hood, voice recognition, new body style.......that thing looks sweet for 50k......
 
Actually, I saw a really gaudy car yesterday in my friend's parking garage. The license said
150GRND and it was a sky blue MB S55 AMG. I guess its a variant of the S500 and it looked badass. Had all these spoilers and side skirts and some really nice wheels.
 
I like Audis, but 7 series are damned fine cars. I've wanted a 750 since I was like 11 or 12. Still working at it 😉

*EDIT*- All you guys say Ronin knew what he was doin with an S8. Don't forget that in the second chase he was in a Peugot 406. If/when that car come to the US, the line would indeed be long. And don't forget that Mr. Bond drove a "BMW seven hundred and fifty". 🙂
 
Bond should have been driving an Aston Martin though, I'm sure BMW shelled out a lot of cash to get their cars in the movie.
 
S8 rocks*! but the 7 series does look bad a$$!

i would also take the lexus. cheaper to fix and i think will last longer!
