You are in the Sedans Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens

What is this discussion about? Audi A8, BMW 7 Series, Jaguar XJ-Series, Lexus LS 460, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Volkswagen Phaeton, Maserati Quattroporte, Mercedes-Benz CL-Class, Sedan

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.

Replying to: syswei (Jan 11, 2006 6:57 am) Well, I don't see as much similarity between the 07 LS and 07 Camry as you do. I agree. IMO the only aspects of the LS/Camry butts that are similar are the license nook, and there's a bumper cut/edge/shape that is similar too, but nothing worth dwelling on. However, I think the Camry design is clunky. In that realm the new Accord floats my boat a lot better and so does the Sonata. I still haven't analyzed LF-Sh/LS differences. I'm too busy... so I'll leave y'all to your afternoon coffee klatch and crumpets... later...

The following is from an article about automotive technology: link title After four hours of such testing, the volunteers and the test staff were surprised how dependent on modern technologies everyone had become, losing skills such as “braking cadence” once taught to drivers. “This test also showed how far car design has come,” said Graham Griffiths of the Ultimate Car Control, an advanced driver training school. "Modern cars not only have stability and traction control, they also have better tires, better suspension and overall dynamics. Technology has moved on and drivers have been left behind.”
