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: dhamilton (Nov 09, 2006 8:30 am) My 2 cents. I took a good look at an IS recently and found it troubling to get in and out of the seat due to the B pillar intruding on the door opening. I'm 6-2" with a long inseam. With the seat back for my legs, I seemed to hit the door jam getting out everytime on the showroom floor while my LS was in for service. Was looking at it as a potential long term upgrade for my son in a year or two from his Civic getting him a used one at that time. He'll have the same issue as I did so I don't think we'll consider the IS as a candidate.

Replying to: designman (Nov 09, 2006 4:32 am) "Does this mean there are dozens of others sitting in the ho-hum part of your collection?"   Not dozens D-Man, but I do have a few more interesting rides like the '48 Packard similar to the one that was featured in Driving Miss Daisy.   Also have a '70 Chevelle SS 454 and a '71 Pontiac Trans Am Judge IV Ram Air.   And then more modern cars like a '87 Buick Grand National and '92 Corvette ZR1(I have all 6 Corvette models C1-C6).   So not ho-hum, but not quite as interesting than the cars I first named. And I'm still on the prowl for more. It's a "small" habit. Replies to this message: designman (Nov 09, 2006 5:53 pm)

Replying to: aggie76 (Nov 09, 2006 2:57 pm) I am the same size as you and I am not looking forward to the IS at the TOL. However someone here requested my impressions, so I will attempt it. Hope they have a big can opener. Replies to this message: unknown (Nov 09, 2006 7:23 pm) drfill (Nov 09, 2006 7:23 pm) hpowders (Nov 09, 2006 7:35 pm)

My wife is an anesthesiologist, so if you need vicodin after egressing from the IS, I got your back like a Cadillac errrr......BMW!!!!!  Seriously, no pressure, I just want to see if i'm crazy or if the car is really as bad as I thought.

Replying to: blkhemi (Nov 09, 2006 3:02 pm) Very interesting and impressive. Do you have any forecast for current collectibles? One that comes to mind is Veyron.

Replying to: dhamilton (Nov 09, 2006 5:20 pm) My wife is an anesthesiologist, so if you need vicodin...   Wow . . . a life without any pain . . . now I could go for that!   Now, being married to an anesthesiologist . . . have you ever awakened without being able to remember a darned thing that happened recently?   TagMan

Replying to: syswei (Nov 09, 2006 6:36 pm) Priceless!   You absolutely MUST post this on the LS board (if you can find the right one, nowadays!)   TagMan
