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.

And of course Lexus in the year 2064, still trying to conquer BMW, will have their new slogan: "Lexus - The Ultimate Passenger's Machine". TagMan |

BMW is more robust than ever. The company has become the industry benchmark for high-performance premium cars, customized production, and savvy brand management, making it the envy of Mercedes-Benz (DCX ), Audi, and Lexus and the subject of Harvard Business School case studies. Even mighty Toyota Motor Corp. (TM ) regularly dispatches engineers to BMW's factories to see how the company cranks out 1.3 million customized cars a year. Wow! This is a terrific in-depth article on BMW that we should all appreciate (especially hpowders and Dewey). BusinessWeek - BMW's Dream Factory TagMan

Replying to: tagman (Oct 08, 2006 9:27 pm) BMW is also willing to take more styling risks than either MB or VW/Audi too. You'd think with all the complaints and general dislike of idrive and their newly launched styling theme (2002 7-Series) BMW would be in trouble now, but just the opposite has happened. So much for critics. That part about Toyota sending people to BMW factories to look at their production techniques isn't going to be accepted by some of the Toyota/Lexus faithful. M

as a company right now, I would be selling Toyota stock at this time and buying BMW shares aggressively.

Replying to: tagman (Oct 08, 2006 9:00 pm) My mission at the Lexus Taste arranged in descending order of importance after a 4 hour drive will be: restroom, wine, pate, restroom, acceleration, braking, cornering, Maalox, restroom, drive home. It's always good to have a plan.

Replying to: houdini1 (Oct 09, 2006 5:27 am) I think I'll go out there and see if Jack Nicholas will do me the honor of allowing me to play with him today. He should agree if I give him 16 strokes! Heh! Heh! Ya gotta love it!!
