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.

Maybe you want to give the Audi S5 a look when it comes out this fall.
 
Handling should improve a ton, and I think it's a little better looking than the 3 series coupe. [Sorry Hpowders,Don't hate me cause I love Audi's ]

At least by then I will be a older and a more youthful boy racer than I am today.
 
That's the spirit. A midlife crisis waiting to happen!

I have yet to drive an Audi but I have sat in a couple and I am partial to their handsome, upscale interiors. I do wish BMW would learn from them.
 
Saw an interior photo of the 2008 550 and unfortunately, it's more of the tired "same old, same old."
 
I knew I was in trouble when the brochure had this to say:
 
"At first glance, differentiating the 2007 5 Series from the 2008 5 Series is a bit of a challenge." LMAO!! What a gem!!
 
I have already crossed the 2008 550 off mein leasing list.
 
Should be around $80k MSRP loaded like most folks would want.

   That Lexus, and the LS, have totally taken over "The Apprentice"?
 
   The teams are designing the ride and drives, commercials every week, The Donald gives his stamp of approval.
 
   It's more Lexus than plot at this point.
 
   Lexus will sell their vehicles. Marketing is a major strength. They ain't playin'!

Sounds as refined and tasteful as their December Red Bow Campaign
If it wasn't for those tacky ads I would probably love Lexus more than you do. Well maybe not

this just in. Someone in car journalism actually likes the Audi RS4 over the M5..........
 
Film at 11:00...errrr inside line.
 
Take all the marketing kudos and give them to Lexus.
 
Audi has engineered a nose heavy M beater.
 
I'm tellin y'all it's on. Audi is bringing fighter jets to knife fights.
 
All unbelievers clear the room. The company picnic is expanding from ALMS, and coming to a neighborhood near you.
 
Wake the kids, call the in-laws.
 
That's how you start a marketing campaign. You go right to the toughest kid on the block, and knock him right on his ass.

BMW sort of did that to themselves. They screwed up the M5, and left the door wide open for Audi to walk in and smack them around a bit. Hopefully this experience will bring the M guys back down to earth and they can start making cars again instead of computers with wheels.
