Favorite Luxury Car under $70,000

I was just wondering what everyones favorite Luxury Sedan was under $70,000. If you dont know what a sedan is, It means a 4 door car.
Post them.

Here is mine. 2003 Infinity Q454.5L V-8
340 HP@6400
$52,000

and


2003 Mercedes-Benz E500
The E500 packs a 5.0-liter V-8 that cranks out 302 hp and 339 pounds-feet of torque.
$65,000

Is a M3 considered luxury? or is it too sporty? M3 would get my 1st vote, then a Lexus GS430.

I'm biased for sure, but I would pick my IS300, with its near-approaching turbo setup producing 320rwhp and its fully built suspension anyday. But, that's just me, because, let's face it, why would I kill myself all day wishing I had a different car.

Any BMW in white is the best site EVER...but the 745Li is NOT under $70,000. However, the 745i is...So that would get my vote for a sedan.

nearly 500hp, over 500lb-ft of torque, 0-60 in a mere 4.5, and that's with an auto tranny!

EDIT: but i forgot, slightly too much money, 73k i believe.
