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: dewey (Dec 18, 2006 8:47 am) The Lexus is the perfect car for chauffeuring rulers of countries or rich captains of industry. Price as tested: $122,700. TMC has been kind enough to give me a 20K discount on any of their vehicles sold in NA in form of TM stock appreciation this year. I hope the share will continues its run up so I could get a bigger discount

Replying to: dewey (Dec 18, 2006 8:47 am) Sorry, but I don't think there is any way in hell, the LS460L is that slow from zero to 60. Are they trying to say that the LS460L is 1.4 seconds slower than the LS430 from zero to 60? That's impossible. They must have been towing a horse trailer while testing . I am sure that if tested properly, the full production model is very close to its advertised rating of about 5.4 seconds from zero to 60.

Fine posters; those three. That was a pretty comprehensive list! But who's counting?

Replying to: designman (Dec 17, 2006 4:58 pm) Although I've never owned one, I am a Taurus. However, my sister and daughter share the same birthday and they are Sagittarius, so I've most likely been assimilated to their way of the world.

Replying to: designman (Dec 17, 2006 4:58 pm) You missed on me badly D-Man. I am a Libra. This is why I am non confrontational . I tend to see both sides of the issue. I always seek the truth without belligerence .

WOW! What a car! I'm not a big sedan guy...I tend to like smaller cars (I drive an 03 Z). Sitting behind the wheel was great! Getting to drive it was even better. It was wicked fast... I think I scared the two sales guys behind sitting me. TEST DRIVE VIDEO & PICTURES i need to start saving my pennies!!!!!
