Luxury Cars

While there is no set-in-stone meaning of the word “luxury,” some of the most commonly associated definitions of the term include “a material object conducive to sumptuous living,” “indulgence in comforts and pleasures,” and “a pleasure out of the ordinary allowed to oneself.” Few terms inspire such richness of meaning and self-determined satisfaction. It is no mistake, then, that luxury cars provide drivers with an experience far superior to anything one would feel in an ordinary car. In appearance, quality and comfort, luxury cars are a step – or entire staircase – above.

The Basics

Luxury cars are typically larger than an average sedan. Based on full-size platforms, they allow more interior room and enhanced comfort.
Often produced in limited numbers, luxury cars live up to their exclusive title with higher price tags.
Superior materials mark a true luxury car: leather, special metal alloys for body panels and top-of-the-line embellishments.
Top-notch technology is becoming increasingly common in today’s luxury cars. Onboard computers, GPS navigation and comprehensive multimedia systems complete the luxury experience, in addition to enhanced safety systems.

The Leaders

While domestic automakers often have models they dub their “luxury” models, the benchmark for quality and prestige in luxury cars has always been set by imported luxury cars. Mercedes and BMW have a number of entry level sedans, they are known in the United States as manufacturers of the highest in quality and prestige. Among their top offerings are the Mercedes E55 AMG (ticket price: ,000), a hot-rod ride with the smoothness and sophistication the company is known for; and the BMW X6 (ticket price: ,000), which gives you the lines of a sports car with the performance of a luxury vehicle. Joining the BMW X6 and the Mercedes E55 AMG is the classic and alluring Bentley Continental GT (ticket price: 0,000). An England-built coupe, the GT offers premium grade materials, 550 horsepower and presents it all in a cocoon of luscious leather and cool chrome.

The Bottom Line

Car specs, manufacturing materials and top speeds are all well and good, but when the rubber hits the road, what it really comes down to is that there is something to be said for the pure visual impact of a luxury car. The solidness, the lines, the pure power and quality seeps from every surface of a luxury car. Still don’t see it? Park your Ford Escort next to a Mercedes, BMW or Bentley.
