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.

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 |

For some reason I can't seem to find the interest in this right now..! M |

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

Even though the E, & 5 are on the sporty level, the base price of these two vehicles with V-8s are almost at the same base price of the more sophiscated new LS. 550i $58,500. auto tran is an option. LS $61,000 750i $71,800 750Li $75,800 LS $61,000 LS/lwb $71,000 E550 MSRP $59,775. LS $61,000 S550 $86,175. Will MB use the V8 from the GL450 for a possible S450?
