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: ivan_99 (Sep 18, 2006 10:33 am) An excellent idea now that purchasing is on contention that there is a third row available. Audi has recently scrubbed the notion of the V8 diesel that they use in the Euro markets as it would prove useless to retrofit it for the now-stringent US emission laws. With that being said, the company says it will now use the same V10-TDI from VW(Porsche is also said to use this engine) that is ready for sale 45 states right now. But the racing -derived V12 TDI is still own, along with a sportier Q7 with a hi-po version of Audi's new CPRI 4.2L V8 that they'll use in the new A8. BTW: The Sport and TDI version will get DSG. How cool is that?

#19004 of 24700 Toyota to ramp up, big time by blkhemi Sep 18, 2006 (12:08 pm)
Toyota reported today that the company would raise worldwide output about 40%, by 2008!!! They also mentioned that they will increase production for the US market by 25%, thanks in no small part to the launch of the new Tundra(as ugly as it may be) and it's heavy-duty variants, a first for a US market Toyota pick-up. The projected rankings for worldwide domination will end as follows: The General: 13.9% Toyota: 12.3% Ford: 12.0% Yes folks, Toyota will beat Ford worldwide. They also said that that there will be a major shift towards Eastern Europe and China, areas that GM absolutely dominates. By 2010, if GM stays on it's steady pace and Toyota's output actually works, Toyota would become #1, reports suggests.

Replying to: blkhemi (Sep 18, 2006 12:08 pm) blkhemi: Where do you get your info? To my knowledge, Toyota already surpassed GM since early 2006 (world market). The news that Toyota just surpassed Ford and reached No.2 was regarding US sales. Replies to this message: logic1 (Sep 18, 2006 1:04 pm) blkhemi (Sep 19, 2006 1:44 am)

Replying to: blkhemi (Sep 18, 2006 12:08 pm) I hope as they ramp up production they will be able to keep track of their quality control. So far with all their major recalls that has certainly not happened. What is Toyota without reliability and quality? Obviously nothing more than a GM! I guess it's really tough being number one. The greatest competitive advantage for any auto company is not to have any dealings with the UAW. Fortunately Toyota is not drowned by humungous healthcare/pension legacy costs.

Replying to: killerbunny (Sep 18, 2006 12:25 pm) You might want to do some checking. GM sells far more vehicles in Europe, China, Australia, South America than Toyota. Believe blkhemi's numbers are correct.
