Do any of them have a naturally aspirated (non-turbo) or non-hybrid engine option? - That would be the only one I would own/drive.

The original Lexus LS460 engine was a helluva V-8 w/375 HP and was a joy to drive - I think it is now a turbo V-6

My DD has a tiny little 3.8l 6 cylinder and stock will drag a CT5-V from 0 to 205. Hell my wife's DD will do the same up to her governed 162mph but hers does have a "massive" 4.4l. Nothing like doing less with more.

I'd pick the Lexus, at least it should be mostly reliable. But the front end is goofy looking.

Beemer is hideous and reliability pales compared to Lexus/Toyota.

Caddy is the best looking by far but the long term repair bills would suck.
