Sedans High End Luxury Cars
24700 messages, Last post on Dec 01, 2009 at 12:24 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.

Replying to: designman (Feb 01, 2007 6:26 am) There may only be 8 left now. Saleen is near completing an S7R that supposedly is going to trounce the Veyron's numbers. But Bugatti is working on a 272MPH Veyron. Fifteen years from now, someone will have released a 300MPH street car!  That's Top Fuel dragster territory, albeit not nearly attaining that speed as quickly!  I'm with ya on the garage queens, though. I have much more respect for the guys that DRIVE their classics. Jay Leno is my hero!

Saw one today, unfortunately parked next to my car, with the top down--It was white with ,I think, light maple, and a cream interior....Words just can`t describe how good looking it is....Truly I wouldn`t want one as I`m just not there as I would be worried about a dent, but I sure think it is an elegant car....Tony

Coming off its thirteenth year of consecutive sales increases, Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) today reported sales of 17,069 new vehicles for January 2007, up 36.9 percent from last January making this the best January sales in the company's history. In 2006, Mercedes-Benz significantly enhanced its competitive presence in the luxury light truck market with the launch of the full-sized luxury SUV: the GL-Class, which sold 1,815 units in January. The popularity of the M-Class model line continued to build with a 19.8 percent increase compared to last January (2,351 vs. 1,962). As a group, sales for Mercedes-Benz vehicles in the luxury light truck segment continue to gain momentum with an 82.8 percent increase over January 2006. Other highlights for MBUSA sales in January include a 24 percent increase in its portfolio of passenger cars (12,058 vs. 9,728). Volume for the month was led by the C-Class with 3,928 units sold, a 26.8 percent increase over last January's 3,098 units. Sales for the E-Class family of sedans and wagons, including those with the new clean diesel technology called BlueTec, grew by 36.9 percent with 3,375 models sold. As a group, model lines at the high-end of the Mercedes-Benz portfolio -- S-, SL-, and CL-Classes -- rose 78.1 percent (2,705 vs. 1,519 units) in January. Contributing to this was the popularity of the top-of-the-line CL coupe which was introduced in December (up 279.4 percent) and the continued demand for the ninth generation S-Class (up 125.1 percent). Here's the actual press release which has further info and model beakdowns: link title Congratulations to Mercedes Benz!! So, where is the "doom" for Mercedes that we heard some speak of?  TagMan
