Sedans High End Luxury Cars
24700 messages, Last post on Dec 01, 2009 at 12:24 PM
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.

It also could be a serious cannibalization threat to Audis if comparable Porsche sedans are more potent and exciting than Audi sedans. What will be the point of sporty stiff handling Porsche sedans when there already are Audi S/RS sedans? I read the new entry level Porsche Panamera will have a VW engine. It would not surprise me that a closer Porsche-VW relationship will give birth to Porsche sedans that iare based on a Audi platforms.

Personally, I am quite certain that performance is one inherent component of a HELM . . . and there ARE models here that have superior attributes in that arena. TagMan |

Replying to: merc1 (Oct 08, 2006 11:09 am) the answer to you lack of interest is very obvious. After painfully trying to make a choice these past years between a MB CLK and a Lexus SC Coupe you finally made your decision. It was a very close call but at least you made your decision and it was a great surprise to all of us in this forum that you chose a Mercedes instead  So now after your decision these Lexus vs. MB arguments have little relevance to you

Replying to: tagman (Oct 08, 2006 9:49 am) That the LS is better-looking than the 750 or S550. That's all. Better-bangled than the 7. Not so Humpty as the S. Better taillights, and exhaust. Clear superiority. IMHO, of course. Don't need a mag to tell me which car looks good. I can handle that. I'm cool like that! DrFill

I don't want to see things go down hill. It's unproductive from a learning standpoint for me. Plus, I just got out of one with 1487, and Rockylee and I just don't have the stones for it anymore. Lexus does luxury, reliability, service very well. These are things I would like to see my fav brand Audi work on [well they all ready do luxury pretty good IMO] Anywho, let's all keep our heads. Welcome back any past HELM posters. Let's discuss all HELMS. and stay away from sweeping statements
