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.

hate it more than you do!
 
Excuse me while I go out to my 165 slope golf course and shoot 65.
I'm borrowing that other guy's pencil.

Your readers hate it more than you do!
 
You ARE a ballbreaker.

We have to have a team match, Euros vs Lexicans and I guess I'm stuck with you. Houdini will take Oac. IIRC he plays too but I don't know what kind of game he has. Expect to get slaughtered because those are serious numbers Houdini put up and I'm totally out of golf shape.
 
But one thing is for sure. We'll dust them on the way to the course.

Darn . . . just when things were starting to get interesting . . . with the first reviews of the '07 LS coming out.
 
Well, they are sort of predictable, aren't they?
 
Dull steering, no brakes, and, oh yes, it parks itself!
 
Just kidding, of course. The car will get excellent reviews, but with some of the same types of criticisms the past model has had. This time more power and refinement, however . . . and did I mention the car parks itself?
 
I'll be back in about 10 days . . . yes, another freakin vacation.
 
Thanks for that latest review, merc. Howard, good luck finding yourself a job . . . after your championship golf, of course. Hey, there's lots of money in golf, just a thought.
 
Hope to see the rest of the crew making some valuable contributions to this HELM board . . . best board without a doubt.
 
While on vacation, my primary vehicle once again? . . . a boat.
 
BTW, did I mention that the '07 Lexus LS parks itself?

I wouldn't hurt your team. I play pretty well.
If I was better on the 4-6 footers, I could be pretty close to scratch, but alas I'm not.

Must be pretty tough on those public courses you are forced to play! Do they have sand greens or real grass? I am still feeling kind of cocky. Shot 78 this morning and did not make anything over about 5 feet. Ready for the big match!! I imagine that if a few of us ever came face to face there would be some huge surprises and some good friendships made!!

The key review for me will be when I drive the thing. I am very surprised that you would put so much faith on the rag reviews. Especially the foreign ones that have to be translated. I can't believe anyone would base a buying decision on that garbage.
 
Now if C&D, R&T, MT, and Automobile favor the LS over the S, that will be completely different and I will have to print a retraction and refer to them as fine magazines, not rags!

If you guys have the money to buy these cars, I'm sure you can cough up the paltry couple of hundred bucks for a plane ticket! Heck, you probably spend more than that on greens fees each weekend!

Well, I had a revelation-watching a golf channel thing on the one plane, two plane swings and found out I perfectly match up to the 2 plane swing.
All those damn lessons trying to change me into a one plane swinger.
I followed their advice, weakened my grip and am now killing the ball and my irons have never been more accurate.
But those 4-6 footers! Ouch!
Shot 82 from the tips today. I missed at least 6-8 makeable putts. Sickening.

Have a wonderful vacation on the boat.
