just-auto.com Factsheet on Mercedes-Benz (#)

„After suggesting some design modifications, he promised the company a large order on the conditions that he was granted the exclusive Daimler concession for Austria-Hungary, France, Belgium and USA, and that he would sell the cars branded as "Mercedes."

Detorit 2006: Chrysler Imperial Concept (#)

„This comment is for anyone who feel that this car should be priced between $40k and $60k you obviously must be nuts a car of this caliber is worth so much more than you people say it should. People buy BMW, Cadilacs, Benz, and all other luxury cars and spend $70k and above on them so why can't Chrysler come out with a very expensive car? Do you want to know why, because all you middle class people who are driving 300's, charger's and etc ...“

Before the launch of the DB7 Aston was turning out about 300 cars a year. The DB7 started out at 700 per year.“

'Ford Individual' customization begins in Europe - Autoblog (#)

„Do you believe motorcycles should not be available for people to purchase if they choose? I am guessing the luxury car makers you mentioned have these options because luxury cars generally come loaded. Their buyers want everything and are willing to pay for it. Most of these cars also come standard with leather.“

Updated Gallardo set to benefit from R8 R&D (#)

„The Murcielago was launched in 2003, so for at least the last 3-4 years or so? Did you not know that British luxury cars are being influenced by the Germans and Americans?

Green Car Congress: DaimlerChrylser To Bring Next-Gen Smart Car to US in 1Q 2008 (#)

„Good engineering and more safety features. Luxury cars are usually the first cars to come out with useful features like air bags, ABS, side air bags, traction-control stability gizmos and the like. Their improved handling features (precision steering, quick acceleration) might also contribute to accident avoidance.“

Louis Vuitton to acquire Aston Martin (#)

„Nice move Aston Martin (sarcasm). Economically it makes sense that the largest luxury goods conglomerate invests into luxury cars. Meanpants555's, you are correct in thinking that LVMH is a multi-brand company, they make purses, Henessy Liquor(s), TAG watches, perfume, and other expensive items.“

Lexus debuts 2007/2007 Lexus LS 600h L (#)

„I especially like this LS, it gives the look it really needed. It's long, sleek, luxurios, kind of like the earlier days of luxury cars, the 1990 S-class, and 96ish 7 series-L. Now, they all look bloated and doesn't appeal as much design-wise. (even the lastes LS looks a bit bloated).“

2008 Lexus IS-F revealed (#)

„Unheard of! Lexus builds great luxury cars. They may even build very fast luxury cars but comparing this to an M3 or an RS4 is just crazy. And seriously, the clean styling of the current IS has been ruined by their faux sporting pretentions.“

European Automotive Hall of Fame (#)

Early look: Toyota Hybrid X concept (#)

„For luxury cars, why are there so many choices of flashiness? Because not everyone wants to project a loud image of why they bought their car. Sure, everyone's car says something about themselves.“
