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.

This is probably the most bigoted post I have read in last 3-4 days. I have seen dozens of Lexus owners who also own a porsche and vice-versa. Almost every person in their right mind would know that porsche enthusiasts along with ferrari owners are the most diehard racers. So this assertion that lexus is boring and its owners are boring is so wild and so out of touch with reality that its mind boggling. Rather than spending countless hours on these forums one should venture outside once in a while to observe the universe. Many owners own porsche alongside Lexus because they are symbols of excellence. Benz is the past, bmw pretends but isn't. Audi is wannabe and trying. Truth is very bitter sometimes, but its the truth nonetheless.

IOW, we have a 9 category limit, but that does not have to equate to a 9 vehicle limit, especially not in a discussion such as this one. Anyway, let's see what folks might like to discuss and go from there.

Replying to: stevekilburn (Aug 29, 2006 2:11 pm) But, the way you characterize the Benz and the BMW and the Audi doesn't do you any good, because it represents you very poorly. TagMan

Replying to: stevekilburn (Aug 29, 2006 2:11 pm) It's called "common courtesy."  When the warden allows me to "venture out" as you call it, I will repeat what I already posted: It has been my observation that approximately 70% of LS drivers are senior citizens. On the highway I have seen many of them driving too slowly even though they have this big powerful V-8 at their disposal. It's what I have found. Sorry if it frustrates you.

Replying to: pat (Aug 29, 2006 2:17 pm) Very very few. Infact some of them dont even have a thread yet. They are not relevant to any online forum. Porsche, Lexus, bmw, benz, thats another matter. They are mainstream and many forum users can afford them.

Replying to: tagman (Aug 29, 2006 2:17 pm) We really, really need to get away from the "us vs. them" attitudes in here. Those attitudes have been the direct cause of the difficulties we've over the last month or two. Tagman, although I am replying to you and want you to hear me, I'm also speaking to everyone else here, anyone who identifies himself as a member of one camp or the other. Let's let it go. This is not a war. It's (supposed to be) a conversation about the cars that we all admire - in varying degrees and of course we don't have to admire all of them - instead of a "mine is bigger, um, better than yours" brawl.

Replying to: stevekilburn (Aug 29, 2006 2:22 pm) Numbers of posts in any given discussion don't tell you whether you admire a car, do they?? Those numbers certainly do not mean no one can discuss them here.
