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.

Which means in 2009, when Lexus celebrates its 20th, we will have a toast and to germans too, who have sustained such competition. Benz churned out million+ cars from 1999 onwards and BMW followed that in 2004 and Audi is on the way to million mark in 2009. Who would have thought??? Its about GLOBAL OUTLOOK AND GLOBAL LOVE AND GLOBAL PASSION, GUYS WAKE UP, WE ARE IN A TINY VILLAGE AND ITS CALLED THE EARTH.

Replying to: blkhemi (May 24, 2006 5:44 pm) Yes. Or even integrating with it, as diesel hybrid. The progress being made with hybrid technology might end up having been a very good thing as the diesel engine improvements can then be combined with the hybrid improvements, basically substituting the gas ICE portion of the hybrid with a diesel engine instead. Diesel technology is so readliy available that it seems unrealistic to think that diesel will not make a strong comeback in States. Absolutely agree. It is poised for a major advance that could start even as early as next year, but more likely should start in the next two to three years from now, as more product comes to market . . . and it will. We also have a very reliable alternative fuel source that it is readily available: Ethanol. Also, advances in bio-diesel fuel should coincide with the advances in diesel market share. Good post. I just hope that all of us old-timers will be able to appreciate all these technological advancements going on in the industry. It's just so complicated . . . almost as complicated as my remote control. TagMan |
