Sedans High End Luxury Cars
24685 messages, Last post on Nov 02, 2009 at 4:40 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.

Isn't great steering, cornering and braking and the secure feeling you get in the BMW because of these things done well what it is all about? Given the LS460 with its fancy wood and premium leather vs. the 7 Series with its impressive driving dynamics; the choice should be obvious. The BMW can help save your life.

Replying to: esf (Nov 29, 2006 7:41 pm) You think it has anything to do with the fact that we have hosts here and Autospies doesn't? Believe me, if this was an open forum, there would be blood in the streets, as many of us would have reached the "braking point" a long time ago!

Another rational post, huh? Now the preproduction LS is unsafe to drive? Having driven both cars, yes, the choice is pretty obvious. The LS is definitely the car people will want a long-term relationship with. The 7 can be your one-night stand. If you're going to the track, take the BMW. Otherwise, take the LS.  DrFill

Replying to: hpowders (Nov 30, 2006 5:08 am) The BMW can help save your life. Thats great, except most of the segment can at least come close to the BMW in performance, and all have much more impressive interiors. That, and until BMW makes a 7 series with X-drive, the AWD cars will be safer than the BMW in bad weather conditions. There's only so much ESP can do on a RWD car.

Replying to: lexusguy (Nov 30, 2006 7:06 am) I'll take the BMW every time. A real confidence builder. |
