Yeah, the Type S is not a "luxury car" and when I clicked into that banner, the Type S wasn't even mentioned in their comparison.

Wow! A Thunderbird is "very" luxury...wishful thinking. It looks aweful.

BTW, "The full list of Carpoint's top ten best-selling luxury cars is based on analysis of Carpoint New-Car Buying Service purchase requests." I guess many of us did us that service. IMO, fax/email works better.

I'm just surprised that Mercedes' S-class wasn't listed.

Read the article carefully.

"German automakers hold the top three positions for best-selling luxury cars among Carpoint new-car shoppers, according to data from the site's New-Car Buying Service."

Key word: "among Carpoint new car shoppers".

That's what I'm talkin about.. I saw the Type-S on the banner and said "Cool! I can see how the TL-S compares against other luxury cars." Then the article has no mention of it!! WTF??

That article is BS...how can you show the Type S in the banner, not even mention it as a comparison and then include a 2 door "sports" car in a luxury car comparison??? I don't get it...are people really that dumb?
