Oh and the jaguar is amazing. I saw it. I probably will test drive it, for the hack of it

Count, are you looking for a long wheel base car because you're a chauffeur? If you are, then the obvious choice is the M.Benz 350/500SEL, wonderful car. If you want value for money go for a year old Volkswagen Pheaton, it's similar to an Audi A8 with all the bells and whistles but because it does not have the cache of the Audi, prices drop over 50% in the first year. The Audi Q7 is a big lump of a car similar to your BMWx5 but bigger. If you're looking for a dark horse in this lot try the new Jaguar XJ it is superb.

Hi Steven. I need a spacious car for business, but to occasionally take my family on trips. In my business I meet with people who expect some treatment
I know about the Phaeton. Years ago I looked at it. My impression was that it was discontinued. Here in the states at least.
And yes, I saw the xj. Beautiful.
I am however inclined towards the Audi. It's everything I like except for the ridiculously small trunk. I don't know about the jag, but it's a surprise, how all long wheel base cars come with tiny trunk space.

With respect, no vehicle naturally loses 50% of its retail value in a year of normal range mileage, wear and tear.

Sunburywhite, there are supercharged new model Jaguar vehicles which will obtain 0-60 mph speed in 5.6 secs---actually, they can do it an astonishing 4.4 secs.  Of course, that model costs in excess of $112,000.  But as to your claim of a 3.0 liter/litre diesel model getting to 60 in 5.6, no, Jaguar's own website asserts:
