warnoldscu Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 So my dad is thinking about getting a car sometime in the next year or so - he wants something fast but also a sedan... sort of like the legacy, but I think he's thinking more like BMW style. I told him about the new M5's coming out next year (but then again those are like 100,000...), what else do you guys know about that you would get given the proper budget in terms of sedans? I don't know if he's even willing to spend that much, but throw some ideas out there anyway if you will... Thanks. Weston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tytek Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 the best deal for a luxury sedan that has the nicest interior available: volkswagen phaeton 4.2 8cyl (not too fast, but yet SO sweet): fitzmall.com: 2004 VW Phaeton 4.2 8cyl. MSRP $70,415;Lowest Price $54,647. 23% off, how crazy is that? Now, if I only had $55k... But all other suggestions are great too; just not as good of a deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warnoldscu Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 WOW - great list guys, I'm going to check out some of these cars... I especially like the long list by Avishar, way to spell it out for me! It's so much fun and yet so tantalizing to check out cars for someone with a much larger price cap...

Drift Monkey Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 As for the Phaeton - meh. That's AUDI money... Silly VAG.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tytek Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 monkey boy , drive one, you will creme your pants!!! i promise! and for $55k you are stuck with 'only' A6 - phaeton rips ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I can't believe that noone has mentioned the Jaguar offerings. S-type R, and XJ. Especially the Super V8. Unless you can wait for the rumored Porsche Sport Sedan.... [/clever cross thread allusion] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emorphien Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I'm rather partial to the Acura RL, the AWD monitor is spiffy. Sad but true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnoldscu Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 ooo nice, the Phaeton does look cool, but I didn't see how fast it was anywhere. It looks like it has a lot of horsepower, but does anyone know a 0-60? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tytek Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 according to some european magazines it takes Phaeton 4.2 V8 4motion around 6.9 sec 0-100km/h - which equates to around 6.6 sec 0-60mph. 1/4 mile takes around 15 sec at 93 mph, which is not bad for its size, but not great. and check out the interior!!!

tytek Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Audi A8 - DROOL! can't wait to see the new S8 (with gallardo V10) it is no doubt my favorite luxo-sedan in der welt!!! but i could settle for the phaeton for $15k less, well maybe btw: what do you think of the new RS3 (3.2 V6TT, 350hp, 500nm) oh yeah - and my wife wants the new A3 2.0T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
