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.

Replying to: ctsang (Aug 31, 2006 11:12 am) One reason that some buy a MB, perhaps, or other prestige vehicle, but certainly not the only reason. After all, Mercedes are expensive, and financial clout is a pre-requisite for the most part . . . unlike, say, a Toyota Corolla. But, you'd be amazed at how many rich people drive economy cars!!!!! That logic applies to anything that is expensive. A yacht or private jet also say you are rich, wouldn't you agree? But a lot of rich people fly coach!! TagMan |

As a consumer, I don't mind platform/parts sharing between Lexus and Toyota, even though it may hurt Lexus' prestige a bit. But I do feel that there should be more of an effort to diffentiate on the basis of appearance.
