High End Luxury Cars

You are in the Sedans Forum.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.
#24703 of 24723 Korean car to be Top Luxurious car soon? by searchprobiz

I live in Korea in Seoul. The number of luxurious vehicles is quite amazing.Last year, Hyundai introduced the new EQUUS, then later the EQUUS limousine.
Hyundai official website announced a price from 70 MWon, pretty
Anytime I see one here, I wonder why some people prefer to buy a Mercedes twice the price of the Korean car.
Do you know if a technical comparative analysis was done with a BMW, a Lexus or a Mercedes?

The Equus has been around in Korea since 1999, looked like the XG350 here in the states. The Genesis was intended to be a Lexus Killer at half the price - it failed to conquer the Lexus, but did take away some Near Luxury buyers for Acura and the like. Now the Equus is going to try again, at more money, pretty similar looks to the Genesis, which doesn't quite do it for me, but each to his own. We'll see. One thing I'll say, the Koreans are very persistant, and the Japanese should be very scared of them.

Ok for the life of me I can't find any forums that even mention the new 2011 XJ. I purchased the car ( XJL) this past December and so far so good other than a few annoyances. The first annoyance was that I had to take the vehicle back to the dealer for some upgrades in software and a whole list of other things to include replacing the hood latch(s) and something to do with the sunroof amongst other things. My only gripe is that if the dealer knew these things needed upgrading, why not do it prior to delivery to avoid the customer from being inconvenienced? My guess is they don't get reimbursed by the manufacturer until the car is sold. Its always a money thing. I'm a businessman so I get that. I just wish they were more forthcoming with the truth.The other small annoyance is a rattle from the rear sunroof. I took a trip to DC and everytime I hit uneven road or a bump of any sort it rattles. It seems that there is either a design flaw or some shipping material wasnt removed prior to delivery. Taking it back to the dealership for that to be taken care of this Friday.
I have owned 4 Mercedes Benz's, 2 S Classes ( one of which I still own), an 03 SL500, and a 2010 E350 that my wife drives. Mercedes is far from perfect too mind you. The reason I owned two S classes is the 01 I bought was such a lemon I made the dealer buy it back and they put me in an 02.
All in all, the new XJL is a bargain compared to everything else on the market right now. To get the features I have in the XJL I have to get a new S500 with hearly every available option or an S600. We're talking 109-123k minimum for the Mercedes outfitted like the Jag.
For the 33k or so I saved, not to mention the Platinum service program, I'm very pleased with the car. Other than the minor annoyances I think Jaguar is on the road back to stardom.
By the way I'm 47 so I'm fairly young. Prior to this years incarnation I wouldn't even say the word Jaguar, much less buy one.
Now if there isn't a forum for the 2011 xj, can someone please tell me how to start one? its been years since I've been on Edmunds and everything has changed..lol

If you get this are the rear seats "bucket" so that you could only have 4 passengers, or does the center console fold away so you could still have 5?- nvbanker (Feb 23, 2011 11:38 am)

From the looks of it, you can seat 2 in the rear.
