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.

#24465 of 24700 Lexus is going to need to rethink their Hybrid strategy by drfill Apr 20, 2007 (1:32 pm)

The RX400h has been successful, but the power has been nullified when the 350 came out. And the GS and LS aren't going to move the Earth anytime soon, based on what we've seen.      People WANT and EXPECT a tangible advantage in economy when using a Hybrid. Lexus wants to stretch the soup, but Honda found out as well, power isn't it's calling card.         Neither the LS or GS are both faster and more efficient. I don't see how other tests will change the facts that the 600h weight and AWD ruin the Hybrid's ability to enhance the car.      I feel really good about the LF-A, doh. That car is downright beautiful in person, if it continues along the lines I've seen.      DrFill Replies to this message: tagman (Apr 20, 2007 3:02 pm) brightness04 (Apr 20, 2007 3:33 pm)
