    IF YOU are shopping for an executive sedan, chances are the first names that come to mind are BMW, Mercedes-Benz or Audi (in any order you please). The German trio is so synonymous with the genre that it's hard to imagine any other choice.

That's a tall order, because the Germans aren't exactly kidding around.
