What Three Expensive Luxury Cars Impress You LEAST?

The Maybach 57/S and Maybach 62/S and the Audi A8

Maybach, Infiniti QX56, BMW 7-series.

1. Bugatti veyron(car looks like a pig no type of design ques they are just selling a 16 cylinder pig.)

2. Porsche Panamera

3. The BMW 5 series GT and the upcoming Audi A7

"Bugatti veyron(car looks like a pig no type of design ques they are just selling a 16 cylinder pig.)"

- That's the most retarded thing I've read all month. The Veyron outperforms cars that are lighter than it around a racetrack. Look below and you'll see the type of cars that the Veyron competes against. In the Veyron’s case, weight doesn't mean anything. I think you need to learn more about cars dude. Just because you don't like the Veyron doesn't mean that it's a pig. Heavy? Yes, Underperforming pig? No. Get a Clue.

lexsucks... it needs twice the power to gain an extra fraction of a second over a gumpert... it's a pig... it has no reason to be so heavy to have that much power and that spartan of an interior.

listen......LexSucks

you dont need to school me on cars or anything else save that shyt for someone who cares cause i dont. I could have sworn the article topic read AND I QUOTE "What Three Expensive Luxury Cars Impress You LEAST?" which means this is a preference(look this word up it may help you in the near future. and if you noticed I didnt talk about performance, didnt talk about handling, didnt talk about the wheels, tires nor interior right. I said it was a ugly pig The design is disgusting if you think the Veyron is a hot LOOKING car your sadly mistaking of course this car will sell because all the worldwide YUPPIES will always want the most expensive whatever no matter what it looks like just as long as it cost a lot of money. so save your automotive education speech for someone else cause i dont give 2 shyts about it I know plenty about cars.

@Joe_Limon

Winning is winning.

"I could have sworn the article topic read AND I QUOTE "What Three Expensive Luxury Cars Impress You LEAST?" which means this is a preference(look this word up it may help you in the near future."

- The subject says "What Three Expensive Luxury Cars Impress You LEAST?". Yet you mention the Veyron? The Veyron isn't a Luxury car. LOL!! I think you need to learn what the term "Luxury Car" means. No need to go any further with you. Learn more about cars first and then we can talk.

I saw a couple of those QX's - that bloated whale looks just awkward and aweful.

@ lexsucks

of course you just played yourself the only argument you can come up with is that the Veyron is not a Luxry car. ok but that wasnt your argument in your first post..... so again save this so-called automotive education that you are TRYING to give me for someone who cares. Now this statement should make you sleep better at night being that the Veyron is and Exotic Luxury or a Luxury Exotic car. I hope that makes you feel all warm and toasty inside.....It seems like I am dealing with a child that just started reading MotorTrend and Car & Driver thinks he knows alot but knows everything about cars. again save it and stick to what you know. I have a preference and you can either live with it or die with it you choose one...THANK YOU COME AGAIN

i meant to say:

It seems like I am dealing with a child that just started reading MotorTrend and Car & Driver thinks he knows alot but knows nothing about cars.

@B7FAN

The reason why I mentioned the Veyron's performance is because you mentioned the Veyron's weight. You called it a pig. Since when does weight matter for a luxury car? Does lighter weight provide better luxury? Unless you are talking about efficiency, weight doesn’t really mean anything one way or the other in regards to luxury cars. No? And since weight doesn’t mean anything luxury wise, then you would have to be mentioning the veyron’s weight for some reason. And that reason would be performance. So that’s why I pointed out that the veyron’s weight doesn’t hinder its performance against other sport-cars.

And the Veyron isn’t a "Exotic Luxury or a Luxury Exotic car." The Veyron is a "Mid-Engined sports car". "Supercar" to be more precise. The veyron is a pint-sized car. There’s no such thing as a pint-sized luxury car. Calling the veyron a luxury car is just plain dumb. Calling the Veyron a luxury car is about as dumb as calling an SSC Aero a luxury car. You still don’t know what the term "Luxury Car" means. LOL!!

And FWIW I do not read Car and Driver, Motor-trend or any of those types of publications. Call me a child or whatever you want. That still doesn’t take away the fact that you are trying to say (wrongfully) that a Small, Mid-Engined, cramped 2-seat car is a luxury car.

well again you just played yourself:

I said the car LOOKS like a pig I thought that LOOKS and WEIGHT were 2 COMPLETLEY DIFFERNT things

Here read what I wrote again this time OPEN your eyes:

1. Bugatti veyron(car looks like a pig no type of design ques they are just selling a 16 cylinder pig.)

I was obvioulsy talking about the design and NOT the weight again open your eyes and your a complete idiot if you DONT think the VEYRON is not an exotic OH WAIT I FORGOT there is a bugatti dealer in every single state like honda and toyota I forgot I can go down the block and BUY a veyron next to the KIA dealer your an ASS really. and please tell me what makes the veyron a NON LUXURY car or a NON LUXURY supercar how ever your little mind wants to put it?????????????????????????????????????????????????

When people refer to something as being a "pig", 99.99% of the time they are talking about weight. But hey… you think that a Veyron is a Luxury car so anything is possible I guess.

What makes the veyron not a luxury car?
1) It’s size
2) It’s interior dimensions
3) The car is mid-engined. Name one single mid-engined Luxury car?
4) The “Spartan” Interior with no Navigation.
5) The loud brash Exhaust note.
6) The performance. Luxury cars don’t out perform Gumpert Apollos. Sports cars do.

You’ve obviously never seen the Veyron in the flesh. I have. The guy that owns "Futuristic Bolting" on RT 17 in NJ owns one. Here’s a pic http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/184638-Buggatti-Veyron-Rt-17-NJ! (note that eveyone who replied in that thread loved it)
I work behind that BLDG. And the car is stunning!

Just because you don’t like the Veyron, don’t expect everyone else to feel the same way you do. Most people love it. You are in the minority. Jeremy Clarkson declared the Veyron "the greatest piece of engineering ever. No, I'm sorry, this is the greatest car ever made and the greatest car we will ever see in our lifetime." Clarkson has driven everything. I’ll take his opinion over anything you say. And I’d rather be an “ASS” with a "little mind" than someone who spews BullSh!t opinions. Get over yourself.

And I never said that the Veyron wasn't exotic. Stop putting words in my mouth.

@LexSucks...I think I've seen that Veyron up in Rhode Island...same color scheme, and I doubt theres too many like that world, let alone in the northeast. Just saw it real quick, was going the opposite direction on I-95, but damn what a machine!

Tango,

I originally thought that the Audi Q7 was the ugliest luxury SUV. However, after looking at the Infiniti QX56 for the first time, I have changed my mind! The QX56 is one ugly beast - a face that only a mother sperm whale could love!
Amen, brother!

The Jaguar brand.

Bentley Flying Spur, Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, Tesla

001

Not the performance aspect of the Alfa, just the exterior design. Hideous in my opinion.

001

Bentley continental, Audi A8, Maybach.

1. Mercedes S-Class (never like those Ford Focus looking rear fender flares, or that multi-piece dashboard top).

2. Rolls Royce Phantom (lot's of substance/bulk, but really not a very nice looking design, just brutal and slab-sided).

3. Ferrari 575 (another Ferrari GT that looks too much like a mild restyling job on the Mk IV Toyota Supra).

really? the S-class is an incredibly tasteful care inside and out. and the rolls, while obnoxious, is stunning. are you blind?

@enthusiastx11 I don't think Nostradamus or anyone else you keep criticizing ever asked your opinion. Just make your own list and move along.

true: FYI--you're on a blog. the point of blog is to share opinions and have dialogue. if you're interested in making statement in a vacuum with no response, buy ads on autospies.

New 7er (non-Msport), The new facelifted S-class, Jag XF......

A8,Veyron,Rapid.

the rapide is STUNNING on the road. ever seen one?

For me it would be definitely the Bentley Flying Spur which seems like an after thought. Also the Maybach, and the Rolls Royce Ghost due to it's interior for a "super luxury car."

1 - Maybach 57 and 62. A glorified S600 for 2.5 times the price
2 - Porsche Panamera. Sometimes a design comes along where it raises eyebrows and people either love it or hate it. Then there are those designs where 999 out of 1000 people take the latter. Interior of a spaceship but amazing performance.
3 - Lexus LS460. I actually really like this car yet why would anyone not spend the same amount of money on the flagships from Audi, Mercedes or BMW when they are obviously better.

well, they buy the lexus because it starts in the mid $60s while the S-class starts at $90k. totally different price point. LS buyers are older, value-driven shoppers.

I forgot BMW 5 Series GT. Revolting.

I concur. What the crap is that anyway?

motor1: For the amount of Panmera sold, most of the people disagree with you.

7....Ugly as sin....(interior is almost perfect but cupholders are located in the worng place.)

A8...too simple in the Exterior ...(supreme interior)

Bentley Flying Spur.....horrible design...

and Rolls Royce Phantom (nothing is so ugly like this thing).

Bentley Continental Flying Spur, Jaguar XJ, Range Rover Sport

1-Rolls Royce
2-Bentley
3-Mercedes
4-BMW

yeah, makes sense. these brands only make many of the best engineered and designed cars on the planet.

what brands do YOU like? and what do you currently drive?

1 Bentley Supersports
2 Bugatti Veyron
3 Range Rover Sport

1 - Bristol Blenheim
2 - Audi Q7
3 - Rolls-Royce Phantom

Wow not one person has a positive rating! Here are mine....
VW Phaeton
Cadillac DTS
Lincoln Town Car

Why do some people here think that the Veyron is a luxury car? LOL!!

We got some clueless people here.

Well, technically speaking the Veyron is a luxury car due to the fact it only has two seats. Any coupe rather it be a Ford or a Benz is considered a luxury car in economics. And for the sake of the "common argument" it is a luxury car, because a freaking Toyota or a Ford isn't build like that with that type of quality.

So is a Ferrari 458 Italia a Luxury car? Owning such a car would be considered a luxury. That doesn't make the car itself a luxury car.

True within the context of the argument, but like I said in the "common perspective/eyesight," a car of 458 Italia caliber is clearly a luxury car. You can rant and rave thats its not, but you are just being a sour puss. Besides, from another take on it, their is different types of luxury. There is fast luxury and leisure driving luxury.

I always thought that Luxury implied comfort. There are expensive sports cars that are far from comfortable, are those luxury cars too? Just because a car costs a lot of coin doesn't make it a luxury car. Is an Ariel Atom a Luxury car?

1. lexus LS--so boring it just blends in with whatever car is next to it
2. bentley flying spur. for that kinds of money, the exterior should be vastly more interesting.
3. maybach

How does the 7 and 5 series not blend in too? There isnt any breakthough styling there. The exterior of the current 5 and 7 is the epitome of boring and bland.

open your eyes, guy.

the 7, in particular, stands out in traffic. you know it's a BMW from a distance. the LS is classic lexus derivative design. a bunch of styling cues from other makers mushed together into one benign package. not a single distinctive thing about it.

if you disagree, please tell me the standout design elements of the LS.

The same stand out elements as the 7 series. NOTHING!!! Oh wait, maybe its the badge that gets you attention! Get over them. And Im not a fan of the Lexus either

0to60:

the 7 series standouts: the grille, headlights, overall shape of the greenhouse is classic bmw incorporating the hofmeister kink, very strong character lines that run the length of the car, a muscular stance from the front and side that you can spot 200ft away.

Look the LS has a present about itself just as much as the Bimmer. Look, I can at least admit when I have become a badgewhore, but you all are caught up in a delusion. Now, I'm not negating the fact that the Bimmer isn't a looker, but give the LS it just due. And @ 0to60 don't worry about them. They're just badgewhores.

I'll name the three BRANDS, not just cars, that impress me LEAST;

ANYthing lexus
ANYthing infiniti
ANYthing audi

BMW 7 series
BMW 5 series
Mercedes S Class

3 of the best luxury sedans on the market.

BMW
Lexus
Jaguar

yes on lexus.
no on jag and bmw.

Lexus LS - boring overpriced toyota
Land Rover LR3- horrible drive and wears down quickly
Porsche Panamera- I ve tried to like it, but I cant. The desgin doesnt do it for me and it is way overpriced. My 335i is quicker than the $100k version.

audi

Luxury car for the common folk that leaves me cold: Acura RL.

1) ANYTHING ACURA (ESPECIALLY THE RL)
2)VW Phaeton
3)BMW 7

I have to chime in here and offer up the following:

1. Infiniti M37/M56

2. Mercedes R-Class

3. BMW 550 GT

Just because they can doesn't mean they should.

-00J

Any of the bigger lexus Models(copycat design of Mercedes),BMW 750-Boring Safe Design-The Anti Bangle Safety design)BMW 550 GT and X6(Why?),All new Acura's,Toyota Avalon(Although it is much less ugly now),original VW Phaeton(another why did VW bother and the proposed new one for the American market look hideous!),Audi A8(just a much larger A4). Cars I really like Mercedes S,E and C class,Jaguar XJ and the revamped Jaguar XF,Jaguar XK,Maserati Quattroporte,Porsche Panamera(looks way better in the flesh then in photos),Passat CC (Although perhaps not Luxurious enough,BMW Grande Coupe,Audi A7,A5,Cadillac CTS and Coupe,Aston Martin Rapid, Alfa 8C Competicionne(I disagree with Agent 001 on that one).

1. Maybach 2. Jaguar (all of them) 3. Ferrari 612

The Lexus GS.

Anything Jaguar, Bentley, BMW 5 series GT, anything infiniti or acura

The top three of luxury models that leave me cold are:
1) Maybach - any model
2) Audi Q7
3) Rolls-Royce Phantom

Usually speaking when the term "luxury car" is mentioned it refers to a 4 door sedan,not a 2 dr sports car or 2dr GT car.A Veyron may have lots of luxury features in it due to it's cost to make. However it is usually referred to as a mid engined sports GT car.So maybe there should be some clarification when one is referring to "luxury cars" what is meant by that.Is it a 4 dr sedan or CUV,Wagon,SUV,a high end sports or GT car or just "any" car that high end luxury features in it's interior cabin.?
