The Benz has more presence than the 7, but it offers almost zero steering feel.

The 7 is certainly not ugly, but it's by no means a head turner.

The a8/s8 is a viable contender but I'm not crazy about the Mac truck grille on Audi's.

Jag XJ is apparently awesome to drive but the styling is somewhat awkward.

Drove the Maserati QP and felt the All Wheel Drive car was underpowered.

Anyone else having a similar conundrum?

I can't find a big daily driver sedan that ticks all the boxes.

Panamera drives well, but I can't get over the back.
You sir should try a new M5. Put some snow tires on you're good to go for 95 percent of the winter months (today's one of the five percent times).
Believe it or not, the M5 makes a daily driver.
