Replying to: shipo (Nov 28, 2006 7:56 am) maybe that's just my definition, but I believe a troll to be someone who drops a bomb and leaves shortly thereafter. Although rocky may have a different viewpoint than alot of folks, at least he has the tenacity to stick around and defend that viewpoint.

Replying to: cstiles (Nov 27, 2006 5:17 pm) Maybe all LPS cars, and all cars in general are "tired" and worn out by 100,000 miles? Or was it just my Audi?

Replying to: fonefixer (Nov 28, 2006 8:11 am) I don't think German luxury cars are built to last longer than 100K miles without major life support. Any Legend, Q, or LS though should handle 100K miles in its sleep. Unfortunately Acuras don't seem to be built nearly as well as they used to be. Infinitis I'm not sure about, but the G and M shouldn't have any problems well past 100K miles. I'm just not sure they can do 300K like Q45s of old. My LS400 was still going strong at 150K miles. I got tired of it long before it got "tired" of life. |

Replying to: qbrozen (Nov 28, 2006 8:03 am) Thank-you pal. I don't drop bombs without defending my view points. I know I pour gas on myself sometimes and should keep my mouth shut. I brought up the S80 vs. A8 & LS to y'all....I wondered if y'all think I'm dumb/wrong for thinking the S80 would/could be cross shopped by either of them. If I'm wrong, hey I'm wrong. I think very highly of the new S80 V8 AWD and even though it costs $30k less I think the new platform make it a cheaper alternative to the A8 and LS, without sacrificing quality and driving experience. I'm trying to understand/learn what buyers in this segment think. Just my $0.02 thanx, Rocky

Replying to: rockylee (Nov 28, 2006 8:45 am) Plus, maybe I'm wrong here, but I believe the S80 is smaller inside than the others. At least a tighter backseat. I'm not sure of the actual specs of the '07 model, however.

Replying to: lexusguy (Nov 28, 2006 8:24 am) I'm not bashing the venerable Audi brand, it is just that after 6 +years of LPS ownership, I would have to agree that the Audi appears to be an ideal lease vehicle, but certainly not a model that would be suitable for long term ownership. Anybody out there that has driven an individual Audi for 100,000 relatively care-free miles?

Replying to: rockylee (Nov 28, 2006 8:45 am) The S80 is firmly in the mid-lux class, its competition is the cars on this board. From Lexus and Audi, that would be the GS and A6. The A8 and LS are in the 200" full-size class, the S80 isnt that big. |
