I think, there is no possibility to add something to a posted poll…but I don't know. Well, I would vote for the missing one: Jaguar XF!! My favourite car right now…

2. BMW 550i
3. Mercedes E 550
4. Audi A6 (unfair to post old pics by the way - the FL one looks much better)

and then the others…

The 5-Series gets my vote. I really would like to vote for the XF, but I saw a road test last week, which the Bimmer blew the Jag away. The E-Class is... an E-Class - competent as usual - but I still haven't warmed those looks. A6 is getting old, sorry Audi. Lexus GS is boring but competent, but no thank you. The Infiniti is ugly IMO and where's the Cadillac CTS, btw?

And I really don't care for the one in the below picture.

The E60, no doubt about it, the best engine and driving pleasure out of the bunch and the car is not dated compared to the others, the only other one i would take is the jag.

100% agree!

Couldn't care less for the E (which looks crap imo, except the front) or A6, Jag is fine, but just not good enough for me.
