So, I'm starting work this week for an American company that manufactures heavy industrial equipment. I'll be starting up a satellite office and doing many things, primarily meeting clients.
Long story short, I need an American luxury sedan. Can't go with German or even European, really since we're 'murricans and I really don't need the headaches of promoting American equipment and then hopping into a German car.
What do? I've been browsing CL and pretty much pic related. Is there anything interesting in American luxury?
Cadillac and Lincoln are where you wanna stay if you're looking for American "luxury".

Why does your company care what you drive? Sounds gommie and unfree
Cadillac and Lincoln
What's your budget? You can get a Cadillac ATS or a Lincoln MKZ for under 20 with medium milage
The mkz is a good car but shares too much with he fusion (buttons etc) thankfully it's going to be discontinued
Cadillac ATS is a great car, interior is somewhat geriatric but the car is as good as a 3 series

I've been browsing them, Cadillac looks like cheap Mercedes knock-offs that aspiring rappers drive, and Lincolns look like meh on wheels.
Is there anything American that equates to a Mercedes SL R129 series or a Lexus GS430?
>>17126222
The company doesn't care what I drive per se, but the clients might look at me and go 'yeah, he's all pro-American equipment, but look at what he drives...'

A nice Ford F Series or an Excursion with the 7.3 is pretty fucking luxurious. Alot of room, good motor, good lines of sight. Dont even have to turn your head if you have Tow mirrors and align them right. You can throw your fishin poles, your rifles, your French coffee machine, your dragon dildo all in behind the back set! Plus depending in where you move it may make you fit right in. Also make sure to buy an American Flag bumper sticker or you will be shot

I could get anything I want, but since I'm a thrifty bastard, I'd prefer something nice but inexpensive.

Cadillac CTS, CT6 or a Lincoln Continental then
A 1-2 year old CTS can go from 20-35k depending on location and milage
1 year old CT6 is about 40, 60 for a platinum
Continentals aren't good until the reserve trim which are 60
>>17126248
I already have a truck, a Toyota Tundra that has been solid for over a decade and 300k miles. I love that truck, I just can't see getting another.
The reason I'm looking for a sedan is I want to put a lift in my garage and store a fun car over it, so there are height restrictions at work here.

GM I THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE WITH THIS DEPRESSING AS FUCK SHADE OF BEIGE
What the fuck this isn't 1998 anymore
>>17126289
Wew
>>17126287
I rented a Cadillac (something)TS and quickly learned to hate this spot in particular, my knee was always rubbing against it.
You cannot go wrong with an XTS desu

How about an older Cadillac CTS-V?
big horsepower plus manual trans fun
CTS-V

You can wait for the new Buick Avista. Looks kinda cool.
>>17126339
>>17126344
BINGO
Thanks, /o/, you're awesome!
>>17126353
>Buick Avista
It's never being made m8
What about Tesla?
>>17126384
Nah, I've got to cover the west coast. Stopping every 150 miles and waiting 30 minutes to "fill up" won't do.

We're talking about Luxury cars
L I N C O L N
Get an Escalade and never look back
>>17126243
>wow, he appreciates european style and comfort but still recognizes the superiority of american heavy industry
What about a CT6?
>>17126197
Only American car that comes close to a German luxury/Lexus is the CT6 which is probably out of your price-range
Why do american luxury cars all look like cardboard boxes?
>>17126456
Traditional design
American luxruy is large, obnoxious and comfy by heritage
Just get a Buick or a fatass Lincoln with a mini fridge in the trunk.
>>17126427
Yeah, people don't think like that.
Everyone these days is on the lookout for hypocrisy, so that just isn't going to happen.

What's the point of shilling a fwd biased transverse V6 Lincoln all the time?
Here you go

>>17126344
This is the only option
>>17126558
Because the luxury interior is so groundbreaking it's going to steal the Interior Design Award, just like the 2005 Ford Five Hundred Limited stole the IDA from Mercedes Benz (c250 iirc). No panel gap is a must to win, and if Ford is the only one doing it then so be it. Ford ripped off mercedes then, and won, just like they are ripping off bentley today & will win again. The drivetrain platform is not what's being judged.
>>17127709
So you must spam stock images of a Lincoln because a Ford 500 won a pathetic award no one cares about 12 years ago and somehow think it looks like a Bentley?

Stay in school champ

>luxury
Pick one.
>>17126410
Fuck yeah the comfinental
>>17126501
Too penile.
As everyone else says, CTS-V is the most interesting option.
If you want something newer with not so much HP(so cheaper), you can get a regular CTS in V sport or some shit that makes it very respectable.
ATS is nice but its a small car, not very good if you need to carry other passengers.
Escalade if your a nigger or have more than 2 semen demons
Rest of the cadi lineup is for old people. Lincoln a shit

This x1000. Newer Caddilacs are based on the Alpha Platform which is the same as Camaro.
