Detroit Auto Show Live 15: Lexus LS 460/460L - Popular Mechanics (#)

„I have personally driven the LS and SC and the LS has been the best car that i have spent my time driving. If you are looking for a well built, FAST but luxury car LEXUS is the BEST OF THE BEST. After reading the new reports and photos of the new LS i am blown away and i cant wait to have my chance to taste the leather in my seat from making that 4.6 liter V8 do what it is meant to do. So my main point is, if you have 60 to 70 thousand dollars and a good taste for cars GET A LEXUS.“

Report: Porsche profits $28,000 per car (#)

„Its saying that, if you take their annual profit, as a company, and divide it by the number of cars sold, you get $28k profit per car. I don't doubt that they, along with every other luxury car maker, have a decent amount of markup on their vehicles. But, there are MANY MANY ways to make money as a car maker. And selling cars isn't the only one, or sometimes even the most profitable one.“

Live from the Big Auto - Popular Mechanics (#)

„I think the Lexus LS600HL is going to be a big hit for the lexus company.

I can't wait til the car comes out! Thanks, Joe Wozniak Chairman of JCW Autodesign“

2008 Cadillac CTS revealed (#)

„im 32 and i love my caddie and how reliable its been, and love how my cts can catch and pass every single luxury car i have seen yet on the mountain roads of big bear, most of them being 50 to 100 horsepower more. it runs great, sticks to the road like glue and is suprisingly fast for this particular v6. caddies before 2003 sucked bad, verry verry bad but the cts has changed that for the most part.“

The Scoop (#)

„The Web is the canvas for CAR, better than any other platform we™ve come up with as an industry. It has every advantage that should be available to the CAR practitioners, including unlimited depth, the ability to customize or personalize and the luxury of designing a database so that it will truly be useful to readers. Some papers get this, or are beginning to realize it.“

At mid-decade, the company scored a conspicuous success with its first entry in the personal luxury car market, the Chrysler Cordoba ...“

Tesla Reveals High-Profile Electric Roadster; Calculates EV is More Than 3x as Efficient (WTW) as Fuel Cell Vehicle (#)

„Seems to me the same power train could be used in a full size luxury car and still get 100 mile range. Paying $100k for an overpowered toy is silly. A $100k for a luxury daily driver is something I could go for if I had an extra $100k laying around.“

Long-Term Test Cars: Azera, Sedon M35, Highlander Hybrid, Liberty Sport CRD, Cobalt SS - Popular Mechanics (#)

„before (and still do). Executing it all well, with the feel, look and operation of a real luxury car, is a whole nother ball of wax. But based on our initial experiences with the Azera and with the one-notch-down Sonata, we think that Hyundai may have the formula licked.“

Green Car Congress: Rumors Rampant: Next-Gen 94MPG Prius by 2008? (#)

„On cost, if a company that's not exactly known for controlling its costs can sell (at a profit) a luxury car for 40K euro, I wouldn't be surprised to see Toyota do something major with aluminum in a Prius which, among other things, amortizes R&D over more units anyway.“

Cadillac rated best customer experience by luxury owners - Autoblog (#)
