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.

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?

Now's your chance to trade in your Saab for a REAL driving machine.   TagMan Replies to this message: brightness04 (Mar 07, 2007 3:28 pm) lexusguy (Mar 07, 2007 4:13 pm) blkhemi (Mar 07, 2007 7:21 pm) and 4 more... brightness04 (Mar 07, 2007 8:30 pm)
#24168 of 24700 Wow! by drfill Mar 07, 2007 (12:05 pm)
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.      DrFill Replies to this message: brightness04 (Mar 07, 2007 3:48 pm) tagman (Mar 07, 2007 7:46 pm) brightness04 (Mar 07, 2007 9:17 pm)
#24169 of 24700 I am surprised...... by cyclone4 Mar 07, 2007 (12:25 pm)
I am surprised that you folks have not commented on the new information that ljflx revealed (LS460 forum) about R & T's admitting that testing of the post production models are much more accurate test results. Based on the fact that C & D tested a pre-production LS460, basically proves that those results were quite erroneous. I would paste his post here but I will not do so without his permission.

Replying to: cyclone4 (Mar 07, 2007 12:25 pm) So when I read a positive review of a BMW pre-production vehicle in R&T or C&D, the car I may eventually lease should actually be even better? Great news!

Replying to: cyclone4 (Mar 07, 2007 12:25 pm) Well, I think anyone with a brain and that knew how to read already knew that the report in question was completely bogus. Most people just dismissed it out of hand.

Replying to: tagman (Mar 07, 2007 9:17 am) 7 series is not a REAL driving machine; it's a HELC. In any case, I'm looking to add a car, not trading the Saab, because the Saab is probably more valuable as a justification for writing down the entire lease payment on the new car as business expense.   Since you brought up Saab, what really scares me is that BMW's turbo-charging gammit is smelling like what Saab did in the 80's: extracting short term profit on existing engine instead of ploughing more money into massive new R&D. It would be a damn shame if BMW becomes non-viable as an independent going concern . . . kinda scary on a day when Dr. Z talks about MB itself potentially becoming a take-over target.
