Top Picks for The Boss
Client meetings, board dinners and conference calls can wear any boss down. If vacations have your spouse threatening to throw your BlackBerry in the pool, you know the feeling. So, cash some stock in and buy one of these rides. To pick candidates for this category, we drove dozens of cars, considering luxury features, driving refinement, styling and prestige. Because many of these cars are not crash-tested, they are not drawn from our list of Best Bets.

Audi A7 (2013) Starting MSRP $60,995 A radical new body style won us over when it debuted, but the A7's looks hold up. In an image-conscious segment, that's no small feat. The A7 also offers a surprising amount of value versus the competition. Build this car ![]() |

BMW 535i (2013) Starting MSRP $53,995 There's a new BMW for every taste with the 5 Series Gran Turismo, 6 Series Gran Coupe and even the X6 SUV. But we like the tried-and-true performance sedan with one of the most engaging engines on the market and excellent road handling. Build this car ![]() |

Infiniti QX56 (2013) Starting MSRP $60,990 Sometimes, a boss wants a big, somewhat-obnoxious luxury SUV. They may as well get one that is luxuriously appointed and roomy and offers a commanding view of the road while costing much less than a similarly sized Land Rover. Build this car ![]() |

Jaguar XJ (2013) Starting MSRP $74,075 British luxury cars are back, and the XJ is Jaguar's finest entry in years. It might be a little tight inside for the biggest drivers, but everyone else will be wowed by the materials and relatively affordable price tag. Build this car ![]() |

Land Rover Range Rover Evoque (2013) Starting MSRP $41,995 It may not look it, but the Evoque's surprising practicality won us over. Well, let's say the fact that such a small SUV that can actually carry people and cargo comfortably in this dazzling a wrapper continues to wow us. Build this car ![]() |

Mercedes-Benz S-Class (2013) Starting MSRP $93,255 The elder statesman of luxury sedans — the S-Class hasn't been significantly redesigned in years — offers one of the most comfortable rides in its segment. Its styling and features have held up well, earning it a spot on our list. Build this car ![]() |

Porsche 911 (2013) Starting MSRP $83,050 A new 911 will never wow in terms of design; it's all about what's under the rear deck. Especially in S trim, the new 911 excites in every way. You can feel and hear the performance every second with or without the optional exhaust amplification. We left that on — always. Build this car ![]() |

Porsche Panamera (2013) Starting MSRP $76,825 Sometimes the boss wants a 911 but needs four doors. No one expected the Panamera to be such a hit with so many bosses, but we can see why they gravitate to a four-door with such superb handling. Its controversial looks stand out, too.
