Audi RS6/RS7 is the ultimate highway car to me.

Especially that avant/wagon RS6 flavor. I want one eventually.

Dads f100 460 with two sheets of steel in the bed. (At least I think it was a f100)
That pick-up hugged the road.

20 year old low mileage Crown Victoria.

"Cruising" for me means sprawling in a seat like a sofa, at 55 mph.

still comfy after five hours?

My fav cruising vehicle right now is a 2002 F150 5speed manual XLT that has 50k miles and a bench seat in the front that my FIL gave me a few year ago. It sat for almost 10 years and I spent the last few years fixing all the little things wrong with it.

Front console can flip up and my wife can sit right next to me around town which is super cool and old school. It's the only vehicle I've ever owned with a bench seat.

Audi A8 I had was amazing. Better than a Towncar, but a lot more expensive to keep running.

how much does an X weigh?

I think all the 8 series are Xs. It’s a BMW, so kinda like asking the curb weight of an elephant. Even the M2 is over 3,800lb.

Mmm. RS6 Avant would be tasty. Sadly no manual tranny available though.


I DD an A4 Avant on the sports package on Koni Yellows with a V6 and a 6MT. Tune, TTV SMF. It eats the miles pretty good. Also fun in the twisties. Just needs more power. Did Kentucky to OR in one shot. Was tired but not exhausted.

I know a lot of folks think they’re ugly, but I will take a Porsche Panamera Turbo S.

Audi RS7 will be back up.

I wish.

My wifes Mecan Turbo eats highway miles like mad.   I spent all day in it several times.   Air suspension and 18 way adjustable cooled/heated seats make life comfortable.  The only real problem it has is it feels like your doing 55 when your really doing 95.

My impression is that

A) most people who say how much they hate the Panamera appearance are just parotting what they heard on Top Gear, and have probably not seen a lot of them in person.

B) what made some people consider it ugly was the somewhat weird roof angle in the back, which no longer exists in the current models.


So I can understand why some people honestly did not like the 1st Gen Panamera, but I have a really hard time taking anyone seriously who says that the current 2nd Gen is "ugly"

Agree that it improved significantly on 2nd gen. The 1st gen proportions combined with the shape were just kinda weird.

I drove an 88 Alfa Romeo Milano from DC to Little Rock in one 17hr stretch. It was an automatic with self leveling rear suspension. Amazing ride for such a small car and ate up the miles. The other car that  impressed on the freeway was @1996 long-wheelbase Jaguar XJ6. Really haven't driven a luxury car in a long time.

When I owned a livery car service, I had an Audi A8L with the V8.  That was the most comfortable traveling car I've ever owned and I miss it dearly.  Unfortunately, I lost the transmission, and they're not swappable.  Each one was hand made at the time and mated with the engine in your car.  To get a replacement, you had to have one hand built and it cost significantly more than the car was worth.  I have dreams about driving that car 15 years later.

Mother had a supercharged 1994 Buick Park Avenue that we called the big comfy couch. A highway cruiser that would seat six comfortably and run 80 all day and not breathe hard. If the road got twisty, that was a different story but smooth, straight stretches of interstate were a piece of cake. She hated that car because it wasn't her beloved 1988 Oldsmobile.
