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.

yeah, good luck getting or even finding a manual V6 Accord!
 
The V6 Camry does have a EPA of 22/31. Check Toyota's own website, EPA figures 22/31 for V6 SE.
 
Huh...let's see 3.5L 268bhp V6 vs. 3.0L 240 bhp V6. Which one is going to hustle more?

"Huh... let's see 3.5L 268hp V6 vs. 3.0L 240 hp V6. Which one is going to hustle more?"
 
In short, the Honda stick!!! The Toyota may have more power, but it's immediately sapped by it's horrid power-to-weight ratio, something Honda does very well, and that's why the Acuras will probably never have a V8(except perhaps the new NSX V10).
 
And power isn't the whole story. Don't you think it's quite odd that the smaller engined GL450 with it's 4.7L 335hp V8 outguns(by almost a full second) the hulkin' Escalade with it's 6.2L 403hp all-American iron V8???

CONGRATS Merc!!!! That car has been one of my favorite personal tourers.
 
And the new CLK is just as good, especially the new 475hp CLK63.
 
I;m jealous. At least until my S600 gets here..

merc - A Mercedes in your garage! This is so appropriate, and deserving, IMHO.
 
I think I know how much it means to you and just how much you genuinely appreciate it.
 
I may be one of the last to congratulate you here, but let me assure you that I am truly glad for you. The CLK430 is a very cool Mercedes, as it represents a terrific combination of some of the best attributes Mercedes is known for
 . . . and plenty of extra F-U-N as well.
 
That 430 engine willingly delivers silky smooth performance like a bullet, and at the same time is very generous with its noteable fuel economy.
 
Beautiful car! Congratulations again, merc!

I have never paid much attention to this car but I like it. Really like the color and the interior is clean and simple. One of the best interiors I have seen on a Mercedes or any other car for that matter, though the nav screen looks a little low.
 
LS board is reporting prices of 07 LS as $61,000 base SWB and $71,000. LWB

No need to rely on the LS board for this info.
 
Here's the official Toyota press release right here:
