Sedans High End Luxury Cars
24700 messages, Last post on Dec 01, 2009 at 12:24 PM
You are in the Sedans Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
Let's try to define this forum as being limited to luxury performance vehicles where the mainstream version in a typical configuration has an MSRP of at least $60k.
A luxury vehicle with a base price of $59k qualifies because it would typically be bought with some additional equipment, bringing the MSRP over $60k.
Vehicles like the E, 5, A6, M, or GS, even if available in certain versions over $60k, don't qualify because they are cars from companies that have higher end cars in their lineups.

This is a great debate, mostly, except when it has degnerated into the very unnecessary personal comments that have cropped up over the last 24 hours or so. Please keep your comments directed to the vehicles and the marques and refrain from making comments and insinuations about other posters. It's not hard to do, really, and if you want to convince others of your point of view, including slams about other posters is not going to get the job done - trust me. |

Replying to: ljflx (Jan 08, 2006 1:26 pm) What do you think of the new LS front end? Too similar to other models? You know, Mercedes is supposedly at the end of similar-looking models that are only downsized-looking versions of the flagship. The new S-Class will put an end to that, and then a new C-Class will follow with more individual styling, and a new E-class with more individual styling. The CLS is unique already. But, I'm concerned about VERY similar design appearances developing between the Lexus models. What's your take on this? TagMan

LS460 4.6 liter, 380hp, 370lb-ft, mid-20s blended MPG 750 4.8 liter, 360hp, 360lb-ft, 21 MPG blended S450 4.6 liter, 335hp, 339 lb-ft S550 5.5 liter, 382hp, 391 lb-ft, 20 MPG blended Let me be the first to say, any of these is more than enough for me personally...at this point, the stats basically offer bragging rights versus the german car fans and are of modest real-world utility to me, except maybe the mpg. |

Replying to: tagman (Jan 08, 2006 1:43 pm) Indeed it is. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe it is the first car to look like a banana. But hey, it's selling like hotcakes so who am I to argue. MB has a serious identity crisis. Then again, and I've said this before, they could collapse in a puff of smoke and people will be stepping on each other to salvage the badges. That's how strong the brand is.

Replying to: syswei (Jan 08, 2006 2:12 pm) During its introduction the specs of the new Lexus GS did sound impressive too, but I guess most members here know how well the GS compares to the competition. During its introduction the specs for the Lexus IS350 sounded impressive especially when compared to the BMW 330i. Unfortunately superior specs does not neccessarily guarantee superior road tests.
