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: merc1 (Jan 22, 2006 10:34 pm) I never had the consumer in mind or what he thinks as he walks into a dealership when I posted that. I was simply mentioning the flexibility Lexus had in pricing because of their lower and more efficient build costs and that they would continue to use it to their advantage in pricing the car. I don't know how you even began to see it in a twisted way. We are trying to guess the unannounced price and when you do that pricing strategies and build costs are way more relevant to many people than you imply. Maybe your not being a buyer here skews your thinking.

Replying to: ljflx (Jan 23, 2006 7:38 am) Being a "buyer" doesn't give any extra insight into "guessing" where Lexus will price the LS460. We all know they'll price it right below the S-Class as usual. That is Lexus' "pricing strategy". M Replies to this message: sv7887 (Jan 23, 2006 1:22 pm) merc1 (Jan 23, 2006 8:12 pm)
