I only count mainstream cars, the exotic ones, like Rolls and Aston, I can't relate to. I've never driven either of them, or ridden in them. They are too exclusive for me. So....
 
1) Lexus
2) Mercedes
3) BMW
4) Audi
5) Jaguar
6) Infiniti
 
Acura - Too Hondaish, no V-8. No RWD. Too much sport, not enough Luxury.
Lincoln - More like a Buick these days. No RWD cars anymore.
Cadillac - Close, but too small now, not really Luxury, more Sport.
SAAB - Really, nothing luxurious about these wierd cars.
Volvo - Interesting, different, nice, but more quirky than luxurious.

Well, certainly, if RWD is one of your qualifiers, then Saab and Volvo are out for that reason alone.
 
But shouldn't that also exclude Audi??

I suppose, but aren't Audis AWD? That mitigates the torque steer and handling issues a lot.

you can get them with AWD... just like Saab and Volvo.
 
But since some of your comments were "No RWD," I assume that doesn't really matter.

Well, AWD does help with me....I just put them a little further down on the list than RWD cars with available V-8 engines, however - I realize the V-8 is becoming a dinosaur, relegated to exotics soon, while the lowly luxury car is moving down. Ford has turbos, Cadillac is going to all 4 cylinders, I have heard..... So times are changing again.
