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.

No surprises in your fine, COMANDing review of the Mercedes Benz S Class, tagman. Looking forward to your test drive of Edmunds top pick, the Audi A8, which would be the only HELC I myself would be interested in driving. Having driven the S Class already should prove a vital and interesting comparison.

Replying to: lexusguy (Feb 10, 2007 7:49 am) I tried to post that link yesterday and had a problem, then forgot it.  What do you think? |

Replying to: lexusguy (Feb 10, 2007 7:49 am) After I test drive the Audi A8L and the BMW 7-series, perhaps the Q! Even though I'm not going to buy one of these cars at this point, I'm having fun driving them. I usually do make a point to eventually drive most cars, but I think I have Pat to thank for being the catalyst this time around. TagMan

Replying to: mikeivan (Feb 10, 2007 6:51 am) You're welcome, Mike... you owe it to yourself to drive a Porsche. Also, I suggest that you drive the S-Class if you haven't done so. If you noticed the difference between the LS430 and the LS460, then you will definately notice the clear difference between the way the S550 drives and the way the LS460L drives... a difference I believe that most drivers would just naturally feel and appreciate. That said, there may be other reasons to still prefer the LS over the S550, so I'm not trying to start any debate here. I just highly doubt that the LS's steering would ever be one of those reasons to choose it over an S-Class. TagMan |

Replying to: houdini1 (Feb 10, 2007 5:36 am) Yes, the system is actually called "COMAND"... spelled with one letter "m". Check it out on their website. I can see the SNL skit, too. The feature built for a total control freak... in total command... who goes crazy after he loses control. LOL. TagMan |

Replying to: hpowders (Feb 10, 2007 5:52 am) Yeah, that one should be interesting. I'm looking forward to driving the A8L myself... although I'd love to drive the S8 if there is one available. That might be a seperate event in the future. TagMan |
