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.

#23132 of 24700 Not a leasing discussion by pat HOST Jan 23, 2007 (12:46 am)
But all of you knew that, I know. A bunch of posts have been removed. Here's one of the many places in the Forums where you can pursue your, ah, debate: General Questions about Leasing.

I've made some changes to the header. Let's see how it goes. I don't think we need to get too specific, we just need to remember that high end does not include vehicles that aren't, um, high end. That's really all there is to it. Merc1, you ask an excellent question. I will put links to this discussion in those and see if that helps. As you know, those discussions are not all that busy, but I agree, it would be great to get folks who are into those vehicles over here.

Thanks for the pics. How is it that Aston Martin can show up with only one car, and still, my palms are sweaty. How close to production is the Acura NXS design? [do ya reckon] This will be a high end whip fa shizzle Of course all the Audis look fabulous I think the CL,[S] are my fav's of the Merc's, based on design. [which in general isn't a deal breaker for me] OK, the Houston show starts in 4 days, and none of those cars will be here Replies to this message: merc1 (Jan 23, 2007 8:01 am)

Replying to: dhamilton (Jan 23, 2007 6:53 am) There are some words in this week's issue of Autoweek about Aston-Martin's bare minimum stand. Very strange. I have no idea about the next Acura NSX. There was no around to ask and I really didn't spend much time at Acura. M

Replying to: merc1 (Jan 23, 2007 5:46 am) Thanks Merc for the great shots. The new Porsche Cayenne looks just as ugly if not uglier than the current model. The S Cabrio is a beaut but I hate those flashy pimp-like wheels (high end is suppose to mean classy not gaudy). Next month is the Toronto Auto Show. A small village affair compared to what you saw in Detroit. Despite that I look forward to going. Replies to this message: tagman (Jan 23, 2007 2:43 pm) dewey (Jan 23, 2007 5:22 pm)

Replying to: dewey (Jan 23, 2007 8:18 am) The S Cabrio is a beaut but I hate those flashy pimp-like wheels (high end is suppose to mean classy not gaudy). Those are not the 911 "S" wheels. Those are the Turbo wheels, as shown here: The standard Carrera S wheels actually look like these: BTW, in case you missed it months ago, that pic is a perfect representation of what my car looks like. I also like the "S" wheels much better than the Turbo wheels. TagMan Replies to this message: dewey (Jan 23, 2007 5:22 pm)

Replying to: tagman (Jan 23, 2007 2:43 pm) Ooops, my mistake Tagman. I meant the MB S Class Cabrio. Those flashy wheels are so tacky IMO. Your Porsche S is definitely a beaut (both the car and its wheels).
