#9210 of 10006 M35 in Category of "Top 10 Vehicles for Seniors" by kennyg8 Mar 15, 2007 (4:28 pm)
While the posters here prefer to brand the M35 as a "luxury performance sedan," Edmunds opts to cateorize it as one of the "top 10 vehicles for seniors." In fact, it is lumped together with Toyota Avalon and Ford Five Hundred! I've always considered the M35 as a pretty sporty sedan with a good dose of luxury, but I've never thought it would be in the category of grandpa mobiles.

The M35 is the meanest, loudest, and hardest riding of the three Japanese entries in the segment. The GS, S80, or E-class would seem like much more logical choices.

Acura RL is a good luxury cruiser. Replies to this message: lexusguy (Mar 15, 2007 11:33 pm) carfan28 (Mar 16, 2007 8:50 am)

Replying to: carfan28 (Mar 15, 2007 9:55 pm) Acura RL is a good luxury cruiser.   It is, but I think the Acura's "comes with everything" approach could hurt its chances with the Ft. Lauderdale crowd. These are probably not people who are going to be syncing their Blackberrys while listening to a DVD-Audio disc. The RL's interior would probably just confuse them. That and the "brilliant" push\twist keyless ignition system would probably lead to some dead batteries. Replies to this message: carfan28 (Mar 16, 2007 8:50 am)
