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: tagman (Oct 04, 2006 8:56 am) We have to see how LS sales go from about May 2007 going forward relative to sales of the 7 series and S-Class. Only then will we have a somewhat accurate idea about the influence of the new LS' market share.

Replying to: dewey (Oct 04, 2006 12:02 pm) Why should we wait for the '08 Accord, then?

Replying to: hpowders (Oct 04, 2006 5:49 pm) Sometimes I just don't want to draw attention with the 545, such as in certain parking lots where kids hang out. You do know that the Accord is the most stolen car in the U.S.? You have a better chance of your 545 still being where you parked it than you do with the Accord!

Replying to: tayl0rd (Oct 05, 2006 4:29 am) I was thinking more on the lines of malicious vandalism such as (gulp!) keying. If folks can steal a vehicle equipped with alarm and engine immobilizer from a high-traffic parking lot with security cars riding around, more power to 'em, I say.

Replying to: dhamilton (Oct 04, 2006 8:57 pm) I once got in to it with the guys on the Subaru board as I found it a little ridiculous that I was denied a test drive of an STI. Very brand-loyal over there, like some of the Lexus loyalty we see, maybe moreso. Replies to this message: dhamilton (Oct 05, 2006 7:00 am)

Replying to: designman (Oct 05, 2006 6:21 am) yes "brand loyal" is a good term"

Replying to: tayl0rd (Oct 05, 2006 6:15 am) Common thieves I'm not too worried about. I'm much more concerned with some of today's fine young scholars auditing the parking lots during school time armed with keys! Would be tragic to deface my Bangle 545 with its breathtakingly unique, aggressive lines that even Lexus currently seeks to copy. I can only guess that some folks don't have an eye for beautiful architectural design.
