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.

Replying to: dewey (Mar 05, 2007 7:25 pm) Unfortunately "Computers on Wheels' is the future for all cars including performance ones. Not necessarily. The Z4M is what a Motorsport car should be, rude and crude. Lotus also hasn't become infatuated with computers and iDrive style control systems. Then you have cars like the Ariel Atom, which is an Elise without all the unnecessary extras, like a windshield and body. Replies to this message: dewey (Mar 08, 2007 5:32 pm)

Replying to: drfill (Mar 05, 2007 7:49 pm) That BMW would hamstring their own car that way, Toyota-esque, if you will. I would think Toyota and BMW have different clientele, different objectives. Even Volvo lets you shut down the stability control on the S60R.

Please let's keep our comments focused on the high end cars and leave out the sniping at each other. Some more posts have been removed. I know you guys know how to keep to the subject without dragging personal comments into the debate. Let's get back there, okay?

Didn't know BMW was having this much trouble moving the metal! Regarding the 7 series, this information may be a referendum on the less than opulent or inviting interior, and hopefully an improvement, brand-wide, is in the works.
