Default Luxury car rentals?

Guys, I need some advice. My buddy's getting married in May, and I'm gonna be his driver for the day. Thing is, he wants to try to find an Audi A6/BMW 5-series/Merc E-Class, and it's my job to try to track down such a car to rent for the day/weekend.
Does anyone in the TO/Ottawa/Montreal area know of a good place to go for something like this, with reasonable rates?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. 8D

I don't know about Canada, but here in the states they will specify luxory or exotic in the the phone book. Look under "Automotive Rental" and if there is a place, it should specify.

All the big chains here rent the really boring commong stuff: Impalas, Grand Ams, Aleros... etc.
There's one place I've found in town (by checking the yellow pages) that lists a Merc S500 but it's like $300 a day... plus it's more car than he'll need. Other than that, they also have a Volvo S60, which is nice, but not big enough.

That's why we're aiming for the middle ground: A6/5-Series/E-Class, to find a nice balance of enough room for the bride and her dress to fit comfortably, but without spending a crapload of dough.

Obviously, the easy answer is to just rent a nice Caddy or something, but my buddy's a major European car nut, so finding the right car would be really special.

Just be aware that these companies only charge a couple of hundred a day, but you need to lay down like a $2500 security deposit on a credit card.
