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 6:17 am) What do you think of the LS460 interior? I think it's a mess of buttons and plastic. Lexus should've done more to differentiate its interior from lesser sedans. Get a navi in an IS and you just have a minimized version. On the other hand, A8, S-Class and 7 Series all look much better than their less-expensive cousins on the inside. '06 Audi A3 2.0T DSG • '05 Audi S4 Cabriolet • '04 Lexus RX330 |

Tara Conner, 21, reigning Miss USA "I didn't think I had an issue -- but I was willing to do anything to save my job. ... I've realized that I suffer from the disease of alcoholism and addiction," Now, She's itching to return to her Miss USA duties. Alcohol, though, was her biggest vice. "I'm an alcoholic. "Cocaine was one of the drugs that I did use," she says. Her mother, Brenda Johnson, tells the magazine that Conner once showed up to school drunk when she was 14. Oops! Those are not offical Miss USA "activies". Now, She's itching to return to her Miss USA duties. "I just can't wait to get back to work -- 'I'm Miss USA, my name is Tara Conner, and I'm happy to meet you,' you know? Life is good." "And in conclusion, all I can say is I'm Miss USA, and you're not! And I might've done anything so that Donald, I mean "Big Daddy", would let me keep my job..."  That last part might not be a direct quote....put that last one on my tab.... DrFill |

Replying to: tagman (Feb 01, 2007 6:42 pm) Faster than the S550 and 750i. Beautifully damped ride motions. Feels sportier at higher speeds. Better slalom, SWB and LWB, than 750i. Suitably rich interior. Expect just as much performance as coddling. Might get better braking with Touring Pkg. Get the Parking Assist! Worth the $700. Same old stuff indeed! Sweet!  I love the taste of "Vindication Pie". Delicious! I'd offer you some, but....uh....no! You can't get none! I'd rather ramble, than stumble, my friend. DrFill

gladly give up most of that superficial fluff stuff in exchange for the priceless peace of mind in having excellent brakes, such as the extraordinary stopping power one finds in the BMW 7 and Audi A8, for example.

Replying to: drfill (Feb 01, 2007 7:01 pm) Quicker to 60 than the S550 is an objective and legitimate feather in the LS cap, if it is true by the final concensus of reviews. I would give you that without any spin. The rest is subjective material. The brakes, well they are objective material, and they ain't no good. TagMan |
