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.

#31 of 24700 2 more days by bmwboys Dec 23, 1999 (8:26 pm)
Hey Jody, I truly believe that service is just something that a dealer has or doesnt. That was the main reason i was so unhappy with my jag was the service. It wasnt untill after i had been there that i realised that my BMW dealer was SO much better. But once my favoriate service manager left things went down hill fast. The replacement of a new sales manager is quickly pushing me over the top. Maybe ill just go someplace else. In the last 3 years i have purchased 8 new BMWs and refered several frineds there. The "royal" treatment is wearing off fast. That business with your headliner is not acceptable. I believe that when they make a mess they fix it. I had some lettering disapear off a door on the inside of my car, and it was there when i dropped the car off, well you better believe they replaced the whole panel. I expect my new car to be perfect, even if i have to bring it back several times. And since they had already had my car for a few days i gave back the 3 series loaner and demanded their 750il demo car. I got it. it is all in how you approach the situation. Good luck wiht your service dept. Bmer is a Yorkshire Terrorist

I believe the XJ8 is going to be replaced in 2002.
#34 of 24700 Debating Between the MB S Class and the Jag S Type by joeramos Dec 30, 1999 (9:18 pm)
I am considering purchase of one of these two fine cars and would appreciate some thoughts from someone who knows both. The MB S Class costs almost $100K with all the options but has that star on the hood. The Jag S class is smaller, costs much less, but looks terrific. Any thoughts?

Tell me it ain't true! My new 2000 model Jag will be replaced in two short years (a/k/a obsolete)- ouch. How do you find out such things? I am having a flash back, it was the spring of 1990 and I became the proud owner of a new Dodge Dynasty...

The current Jaguar XJ8 platform has been used for over a decade. So it's been well known that a new XJ8 platform was soon to come. 2002 model year is the expected date of the next generation XJ8. Using a completely new platform but retaining traditional Jaguar styling!!! I'm looking forward to seeing what gem Jaguar turns out!!

Anybody have any idea when the current 7 series BMW is going to be replaced?
#38 of 24700 . by merc1 Jan 06, 2000 (8:41 am)
Thats a very good question. The current 7 was scheduled to be replaced for 2001, but rumors have surfaced that the car that was supposed to do that was too big, heavy and complex. It was suggested that the previous S-Class was the target. That would have made sense way back when, but it wouldn't be smart for BMW or anyone to do a car like that again. So reportedly they have gone back to the "drawing board", which will delay a new 7 until 2002 or 2003.

#40 of 24700 BMW 7 series by jgoodchild Jan 09, 2000 (2:27 pm)
Yesterday, I took a test drive in a BMW 7 series sport version and I was extremely impressed (I woke up this morning thinking about it). I recently drove an MB S430 too. Both are unquestionably fine cars - albeit they are different. I like the sporty feel of the 7 series. It performs and handles in a way that I prefer over the S430. I think I will put my order in soon for the 7 sport version. Does anyone have any opinions about the 7 series, especially the sport version? Any input is much appreciated - I think I will order one this week.
