High End Luxury Cars

24697 messages,  Last post on Nov 28, 2009 at 3:09 PM

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.

Very true. The Alpina B series models are not even comparable to M series models.
 
But in the case of the 7 series the Alpina B is the best performance HELC you can buy at BMW with warranty coverage.

Yes, I agree it is time to move on. Enough of this prattle. If we all demanded proof and research on all statements made on this forum that is all we would be doing. I can see it coming to this:
 
"Uh, Dr. HPowders could you please send me your written, documented, certified, annotated, unabridged, and notarized papers on the grabbiness of the brakes on the LS460?"
 
"If not received immediately I will have to assume that you have no such proof and suggest that possibly a public caning would be in order. Just so there is no misunderstanding, the said caning would be for you, not me"

Well at least HPowders experiences of grabby brakes are confirmed by the expreiences of other forum members and auto journalists.
 
How's this for a claim:
 
The LS vs. S Class price differentials are far wider than what is indicated by MSRPs since Lexus LS models have far more incentives. You maybe ignorant of this fact but I have research that backs up my claim although I cant provide it to you in this forum.

There you go. Now that's the spirit. We should all have license to say whatever we darn well please and not have to prove anything just in case we were in the mood to tell a whopper!

The A7 Again by dewey

The A7's side profile has an uncanny resemblance to my BMW 335i sedan. Until today I never even knew I owned a 4 door coupe?

Yes, Dewey. I only deal in the concrete and quantifiable.
Not the hypothetical and abstract.
Them's the brakes!

Yes, Dewey. The Chris Bangle influence is everywhere.
See most 2007 Toyotas and Lexi; and now Audi!
A great compliment to Bangle's creative genius!

Howard,
 
it is nice to know that there is at least one other forum member here that appreciates the high aesthetics of Bangle design. But outside this forum there are a great number of auto designers that have a fine eye for Bangle beauty.

Thankfully, the opinions of Chris Bangle here, do not reflect what is going on in the real world, where it counts.
More and more manufacturers are paying him tribute by copying his designs.

Lexus Oil Sludge Problems by dewey
Feb 09, 2007 (10:45 am)
Reply
This week Toyota in the US settled a class-action lawsuit, also covering Lexus, which potentially involves 7.5 million current and previous owners whose cars were possibly damaged by engine oil sludge, or what the judge called "oil gel". Brought by Lexus owners Sarah and Jeff Meckstroth, and heard in a Louisiana county court, the suit and its outcome have big implications for Australia.
