Luxury Sedans

My mom is looking at getting a new car and wants my help. I figure sure, as long as I get to drive it once in a while [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

Anyway, she's looking for something in the luxury sedan catergory. I've been looking at Saab, Lexus, Acura, and Infinti. The German automakers aren't out of the question, just haven't looked into them very much. A four wheel drive vehicle would be nice, but it is not a neccesity. She likes some of the smaller SUV's on the market, but she just doesn't want to buy one.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Hmmm.....

first check out the BMW 540, then judge every thing against that. some may be better but most will be worse. and make shure its the 540 and not a 528 or 530.

AWD Luxery Sedan that kicks *** = Audi S8 yeah, 8
But what do I know, I drive a Civic[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Yeah, and I can't aruge with BMW either.....

Edito: Or maybe I was thinking of the S4, or A4..... damnit I hate cars without real names... but then lots of names are pretty lame too.... but at least they help remember what car you're talking about.

Dude, $60,000? Why get one luxury car when you can get 4 black civics and highjack some big rigs full of DVD players. It would be a great adventure and you just might learn an important lesson about life in a final dragrace across some railroad tracks.

Hell, for 65 grand you could have a 800hp Lincoln Towncar that handles better than a Porche.

I'd say go with Audi because they're AWD, get the A4 with the 3.0, cause it ownz!! That or you could get the STI... though that's not really a luxury sedan. The only other thing i'd say is go with a 540.

If she's looking for an SUV, why not consider something a little smaller but just as useful... like the A4 Avant. Quattro AWD fits your criteria also.

Volvo is your mom is into safety.
Mercedes 5 series or the BMW 5 series are nice.
I'd even consider the Infiniti.

But man.. $65 g's is alot of dough to burn. Hard choice.
