High End Luxury Cars

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: designman (Aug 16, 2006 1:40 pm) It wasn't my best score. I shot a 67 about 20 years ago on a much easier par 70 course. I would say this was my best round of golf as far as striking the ball. I hit 16 greens in reg. but had a fairly high 35 putts. A par 72 course with a slope rating of 138. The back nine has a slope of 150.

Replying to: houdini1 (Aug 16, 2006 1:34 pm) Nice. Next time play the back nine too.   With a name like "Houdini", I'll bet you are quite good at making bogeys disappear.

Replying to: lexusguy (Aug 16, 2006 12:38 am) QP also has a very high-revving engine . . . another trait that is atypical of this class. These cars being routinely out-handed by cars half their price goes to show that handling is not the primary characteristics of these cars. Replies to this message: tagman (Aug 16, 2006 5:08 pm)

Replying to: hpowders (Aug 16, 2006 4:04 am) And the reviewer from Canadian Driver has been an objective writer for how many . . . hours?? Scribes for car reviews may as well be commentators for WWF . . . they enjoy toeing the "character" lines . . . it makes for good story. Objectivity be damned.   The rest of your post reads like someone who really wants an LS but can not afford one . . . with sour grapes. For what it's worth, it's BMW and MB that heavily subsidizes their leases, not Lexus. What does that say about BMW/MB and their lessees if we were to follow your own logic?

I must confess that I actually live in an alley on the bowery and am posting this with a laptop provided by the good folks at the salvation army.   Congrats. Ya saw right through me!   What gave it away? I tried so hard to act like all you rich folk.   Gotta go. A guy just tossed me a quarter. It's rolling away... Don't want any of the other bums to get it. Replies to this message: brightness04 (Aug 16, 2006 7:15 pm) brightness04 (Aug 17, 2006 5:51 pm)
