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: merc1 (Oct 05, 2006 8:43 pm) 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!

Replying to: merc1 (Oct 06, 2006 2:50 pm) 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.

Replying to: houdini1 (Oct 06, 2006 3:00 pm) No need to rely on the LS board for this info. Here's the official Toyota press release right here: 2007 Lexus LS460 and LS460L base MSRP TagMan

Replying to: merc1 (Oct 06, 2006 2:50 pm) Wow! The car is a real looker! A Valentine One should be a perfect match for that particular color scheme!

Replying to: merc1 (Oct 06, 2006 12:59 am) OK, merc - Since it is on-topic and all . . . Because you posted those gorgeous HELM photos, just for fun I'll put those pics in order, based upon appearance, IMHO of course. This won't be easy. They're all good-lookers, but here goes: 1. Mercedes CL63AMG 2. Audi R8 3. Jag XKR 4. BMW M6 Convertible 5. LS600hL How about the rest of you? TagMan Replies to this message: hpowders (Oct 06, 2006 6:10 pm) dewey (Oct 06, 2006 6:41 pm)

Replying to: tagman (Oct 06, 2006 5:00 pm) Sorry, but I place the R8 first. After viewing that baby, the other photos sort of became irrelevant to me. A truly stunning vehicle.
