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.

Why they abandoned this segment, I do not know. I hear Toyota may be coming out with a new Supra sometime soon. Why Lexus can't produce the 2007 LS with a serious sport package as Toyota does with the Camry SE is beyond me. Perhaps the re-emergence of the Supra indicates a serious change of direction which hopefully, will filter up to Lexus.

Replying to: hpowders (Aug 09, 2006 11:33 am) I got yet another call today from my Lexus dealer. The SWB LS460 loaded is priced at $72K. But he offered me an olive branch... if I want, I could get an '06 LS430 discounted from $64K to $55K + TTL. I said thanks... but no thanks... |

Replying to: oac (Aug 09, 2006 11:44 am) Shouldn't seriously affect Toyota's strength or indicate a 180 degree change in direction. |

Replying to: oac (Aug 09, 2006 11:46 am) It will be in a plain white envelope with no return address. Nobody at Lexus has to know!

Replying to: oac (Aug 09, 2006 11:44 am) Based on my own statistical analysis I have concluded with 99.9 % accuracy that there is definitely a inverse relationship between quality and driving excitement Here is my proof: Latest JD Power Dependability Results Rankings 1) Lexus 2) Mercury 3) Buick 4) Cadillac 5) Toyota Is it a mere 0.1% coincidence that the manufacturers above do not manufacture exciting cars? I dont think so! In fact a high JD Power ranking is a warning and not a temptation to buy.
