2014 Best Buys: Prestige Cars
You know what’s funny? There are 19 models in this category, most of which cost upwards of $100,000, while there are just 10 in the significantly more affordable sub-compact group!
First place on the podium goes to Porsche, a brand that has put all of its eggs in one basket by offering just one car in this category. But what a car! The 2014 Porsche Panamera’s style may not be to everyone’s liking, but we definitely all agree on its ride! Several versions are available (V6, V8, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive), which means there is something for everyone—everyone who can afford it, that is!
The silver medal is awarded to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class. This opulent vehicle flaunts lines that are both classic and modern, powerful engines (there is even a hybrid model) and tremendous comfort. Mercedes-Benz offers three models in the category. In addition to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, there are also the CL and CLS. However, the CL will be discontinued in 2015 and replaced with the 2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe.
The 2014 Audi A8 earns the third spot on the podium thanks to its unrivalled style, clear-cut performance and an interior that many consider a work of art.
