The Volvo V90 is the heir to the traditional "manor Volvo" and a concept in itself in terms of space and driving feel. My choice would be the V90, because it's a good dog car. I'd prefer the AWD Cross Country, as it would give me ground clearance for country roads and a higher driving position.

Porsche Panamera

The Porsche Panamera blends sports-car sharpness with luxury-sedan refinement, serving driving thrills up front while pampering passengers in the back. Poised, polished and mischievously quick, it’s the car for buyers who want exotic performance without losing everyday comfort.
