Top Picks for The Boss

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
