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.

now they are better than nothing, but before they just sat around. Why don't you go get your story strait about what you saw on your vacation.......errr nap, and get back to me. Don't strippers brag about how much they do in sales every night? It's amazing to me how a gussied up Buick can catch so many fish.

Replying to: hpowders (Jan 25, 2007 5:40 am) Sorry Merc and Howard, Nobdody could bribe me with a A8 or a MB CLS550. A BMW M5 ,Audi RS6 or MB E AMG? In that case consider my soul sold to the highest bidder. Replies to this message: hpowders (Jan 25, 2007 11:26 am)
#23208 of 24697 Winding road by dhamilton Jan 25, 2007 (9:54 am)
has a video of one of those cars that nobody wants [that's not a sucker] testing in Las Vegas. The sound is unholy, heaven. Only young of heart need to watch, and more importantly listen. This car can't hold a candle to the Lexus offerings, but, I guess it sounds pretty good. I think it's called a crappy R8, or something....Audi R8, that's it. Anyway, go to winding road and watch the video of this abysmal failure of a car company that has nothing going for it. Excuse me while I clean myself up. I think the sound caused me to have an accident.

hpowders, Since you have shown an interest in the Audi A8 and possibly the incredible S8, here's a little blurb on what to expect from the next generation A8: Next Audi A8 TagMan
#23210 of 24697 Report of Incredible Porsche Profitability by designman Jan 25, 2007 (10:19 am)
I’m having a hard time parsing this. Seems unbelievable: ”A new study has found that German sports car maker Porsche earns an incredible average of $28,000 in profit on every vehicle it sells. The figure — printed in Germany's Welt am Sonntag newspaper, citing a study by B&D Forecast — dwarfs the per-car earnings of virtually any other automaker. Comparatively, luxury and sports car maker BMW makes about $3,200 per car. Audi nets a less impressive $1,580, and Chrysler and Volkswagen earn just $900 and $400, respectively.” They say Porsche denies it, claiming between $10K-$20K per vehicle, still lofty in comparison to the others cited. http://www.leftlanenews.com/category/porsche/ Replies to this message: houdini1 (Jan 25, 2007 10:39 am) dewey (Jan 25, 2007 11:01 am) tagman (Jan 25, 2007 11:12 am) and 2 more... designman (Jan 26, 2007 10:24 am) houdini1 (Jan 26, 2007 11:58 am) and 6 more... killerbunny (Jan 26, 2007 6:22 pm) tayl0rd (Jan 25, 2007 11:33 am) designman (Jan 26, 2007 10:27 am) tayl0rd (Jan 29, 2007 10:21 am) and 4 more...
