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.

#41 of 24700 7 Series new body style by jgoodchild Jan 09, 2000 (2:31 pm)
My dealer said that the new 7 series body style is scheduled for 2002. He said that BMW has had so much success with the current body style that they will stick to it --- he did not admit to having to go back to the "drawing board" --- true salesman.

#44 of 24700 LS 430 = blech!!! by vbnm Jan 12, 2000 (8:02 pm)
indeed, it is only my opinion, but BLECH!!! it appears lexus employed liberal use of MB S-class styling but then threw in the most lamentable dimensional disproportionalities of the toyota echo. two questions: 1) what type of ganja were the designers smoking 2) (the obious follow up) where can i get some?!
#45 of 24700 2000 vs. 2001 by microrepair Jan 14, 2000 (6:58 pm)
The video (and pictures) in carpoint.com are of the 2000 model, not the 2001. The new one looks sorta like an E-class with some subtle bulges on the fenders.

The video on carpoint.com under the 2000 NAIAS auto show is of the 2001 LS430.
#47 of 24700 S500 pricing by rmkrmk Jan 15, 2000 (12:11 am)
I am in the process of buying an MB S500. Please share your buying experiences regarding any discounts from MSRP and which dealers you think I should shop.What color looks the best on this car? I have not seen all the colors in person. How about the interior color? Thanks!!

Been looking at this vehicle also "very impressive" to say the least.Have seen in silver, absolutely beautiful! But being a black car freek, the black on black was obscene! Has to be the finest body style MB has to date. Reading the brochure (novel) is so feature rich, it has to be the most advanced vehicle available today.

Went to the Detroit Auto Show yesterday and no real and confirmed date yet on when the next BMW 7 series is going to show up. BMW rep. at the BMW stand said don't expect it for the 2001 model year. He said it would most probably show up in the summer of 2001 as a 2002 model. And he would not say why the launch of the next generation 7 series has been delayed by over a year.
#50 of 24700 Lexus, Mercedes by mike2567 Jan 19, 2000 (3:06 am)
That Lexus LS430 is a blatant copy of the Mercedes Benz S-class, if ever I saw a blatant copy! Wow! Body shape, rear lights, model number ... even the wheels! I suppose imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. As to buying an M-B S500 at a discount, forget it! These cars are on 6 month back order; and M-B dictates sticker pricing a la Saturn. The good colors on the S-class are all of them. I have brilliant silver with charcoal interior. The only one that leaves me a bit lukewarm is the black, although it does look very formal.
