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.

You can bash Lexus (or BMW), and that's fine, but be accurate, that's all I ask. Lexus still has work to do. In spite of my recent HELMY award, I'll bash Lexus, just not as quickly as I'd bash a desperately flailing critic. They're making the right moves, but misteps abound (IS350 tranny, soft SC, not producing the HPX, soft GS, general overproduction). If you want to turn on a company under my wing, you'll release "The Beast", not me. DrFill

Replying to: tagman (May 31, 2006 12:45 pm) I have a feeling that just may reveal something about the list's creator. Nahh! Must have been an innocent oversight.

Replying to: hpowders (May 31, 2006 12:51 pm) Besides, I made the list, and now, thanks to oac, I've given myself a raise AND a summer bonus. So, THERE! Only problem is . . . I can't make it next year . . . I likely won't be that "recent" a poster any more, and I'm sure not gonna topple those other guys. They're just too terrific and will deserve the award FOREVER. Oh well, I'll covet it while it lasts . . . and spend my bonus, of course.  TagMan |

Replying to: tagman (May 31, 2006 12:45 pm) Reason is that Howard doesn't think the 7 belongs in HELM so I had to leave it out, out of deference to the ultimate BMW fans... Can't have it both ways, I suppose

Replying to: drfill (May 31, 2006 12:24 pm) Hmmmm ! That sounds kinda interesting... HELMY Award... except I cannot figure out what the Y in HELMY would represent... Ahhh, I got it: High End Luxury Marque Yentas (HELMY)... apologies to our resident VW/Porsche officianado - Designman for his yentas coinage. |
