Sedans High End Luxury Cars

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.

Lexus PR would have you believe this was the second coming of 1989...It is a nice car, but hardly on par with the original LS400. The original has a flair that this car doesn't. To this day I still get compliments about my 92 LS400..This car is rather conservately styled. The new S Class at least makes a statement. I do find the interior styling of the LS460 of standard Lexus fare. (It was already quite good to begin with) Any AWD option? I haven't read anything about that yet.. However, all that technology is pretty cool. But I'll definitely shop the S Class against it when I trade mine in late next year. SV

Wait a bit longer for the best car on earth called the new Lexus LS and save your money for a box of vintage 1936 Burgundy wine that is renowned for its poignant berry aroma and its subtle sour apple aftertaste. Whoever said posts had to factual? |

The LWB version of the LS will boost sales. At last the LS will offer comfortable back seat room for passengers that are 6' plus.

Replying to: scott1256 (Jan 09, 2006 7:02 am) The price difference has long been eliminated by MB subsidized lease offers and other discounts. |

Replying to: syswei (Jan 09, 2006 5:52 am) I must give you credit, very smart you are. My teeth were drawn and I now have no where to bite!  Just for that I'll try my best to wring some details out of a Lexus person if they're around next weekend. One thing I like about GM and Ford they have actual engineers on the floor at time, not salespeople or company "reps", but honest to goodness white-coat wearing engineers. M |

Replying to: scott1256 (Jan 09, 2006 7:02 am) Please don't mention anything factual like that because all you'll get is a bunch of garble about leases. Don't you know that buyers who finance and/or pay with cash don't exist anymore? M |

Some of you need to understand that posts which have no other purpose than to beat someone else over the head are pointless, do not get your message across to anyone, and further, are not appropriate and will not be acceptable going forward. If you cannot discuss the ins and outs, ups and downs, plusses and minuses of the cars and the marques without stomping all over someone else, you need to not post at all. Chill out and get back to the productive and interesting discussion that you are all capable of and all deserve, please. |
