Been looking wistfully at W220 S classes and Cadillac STSs...

I know the W220 disolves like an unpainted Lancia on a beach, but there are some nice six cylinder ones knocking about...

The Cadillac is clearly an alternative choice, being wwd and otherwise unknown, but there we are ::)

Yes, Al. Drug dealers 'love em'..... :D ;)

Are they all LHD?
No, was officially sold here in RHD ;)

Mate has one, bit of a mongrel bits of Saab and Vectra, lots of toys, 32mpg, got the 2.0 turbo.

Was having a beer (or three) with fellow caravanners last night, this subject arose ... so now have to remove the Lexus 460 from the "possibles" list ... seems it is NOT, and never will be, cleared for towing !!

Phaeton would still be high up the list IF, big IF, they were not all oil-burners ... seems the petrol option died around 2005 and from then on its all oil .... and I want petrol/lpg .. :(

Why so?.......Mr Entwood. ???

I like the Phaeton but they really are enormous. Tip the scales at 2.3 tonnes. :o

Because Lexus don't see why anyone spending £72000 (new) on a Lexus 460 would want to strap a burger van on the back, and therefore they never bothered Type Approving the vehicle with a towing capacity - therefore it's rated towing capacity is 0 and it would be illegal to add a towbar.

Also, AFAIK, the LS 460 & 600h are direct injection petrol and  no-one has yet done an lpg kit for them.  :(

Lexus LS430 would be attractive for me, despite its unattractive styling. A hell of a lot of car for not much money now.

Contemplating what would replace the Bullet on the way in to work today. Drew a big fat blank. Nothing. Zilch.

I have this nagging worry I could end up in a WWD shitbox. And that concerns me.

As an outside bet.If you're not squeamish about such things what about an ex-hearse?By their nature they're generally well maintained/looked after and if you get one with the higher than standard rear roofline you'd have more than ample space with or without the "load bed" in place.This would leave the field fairly open as to make/model.
