V12 bi-turbo or GTFO. No need to bring the peasant S63 in here.
Also, the 2011 S class has more modern tech than 95% of the 2014 cars on the market.
They are also getting out of warranty now so if you want to play Russian roulette with your car, this is the way to go.
This. Or buy a 4G TL, they're practically giving them away now.
Other option is a Lincoln MKZ or CTS wagon, they look fantastic and drive nice too.

When I was interested in it last year, the dealership had several right above $50k with some good discount.
If you like it, email couple local dealers.

Most current tech will be which ever cars are rolling out carplay or googles version first.

The Cherokee Limited I just picked up for my wife is loaded with tech...and I didn't even get the "tech pkg" which was just stuff like collision brake assist/lane departure/speed/laser guided cruise
It has a 8.4" screen that runs the car...heated/cooled leather, the whole Uconnect system (which gets constant good reviews) Nav, Apps, built in wifi if you choose to pay for it, memory seats that save to the key fob, 7" screen in the gauge cluster. And MSRP was $33k...not what I actually made the deal for...
Many of the Chryco vehicles have a lot of this now...If you research I think their tech to trim ratio is better than other brands right now.
Also so...How much is the Equus....or the 2015 Genesis Sedans look amazing.

Equus is closer to 70. Will check out Cadillac, Chrysler, etc and the Genesis.

When you're looking at the CTS, also check out the Cadillac ATS to see if it's roomy enough.
Otherwise, a recent pre-owned Audi A6 or A7 might fit the bill as well-- CNET really likes the tech on the recent Audis, and the car mags seem to love everything about the current gen A6 and A7.
A used S6 or S7 would be faster, but might be out of the price range.
The Genesis is also a good option.

Brand new: Genesis
Used: 535i or GS350
The best choice: Walk everywhere and spend the budget on bacon.

Genesis comes to about 53 with the Nav. Hope they come down under 50.

I had a G35, so I think this is its successor. And the tech was great, just want something different.

Actually...my buddy Nexson went from a Lexus GS FSport to an Accord for financial reasons and he doesn't look too disappointed.
Audi S4? Maybe a 2013? The 2012 S5 I drove around with 6MT and supercharger made my pants short.
