Just for clarification, the TL is in 6th Place, not 7th. It may have changed since you posted though - Not that it really matters. Judging by visits to the pages? How stupid is that?

Topgaytrader: Thanks for your wonderful insight

I don't think so. I drove a six-speed g35 sedan the other day when my truck was in the shop. NICE NICE NICE NICE. Acceleration was bad ass so was handling. If the sedan had the six-speed before i bought my truck I would have been all over it. To each his own. I still like acura. My girl wants a tsx.

Wierd list...How can the TL, G35, and 3 series really be on the same list as a Bently Azure?? What about the new E class, 5 series? THe way I see it, there are 3 or 4 different luxury classes...1.) entry level (TL, G35, 3 Series, A4), 2.) Mid (E-Class, M45, 5 Series, A6) 3.) Luxury (S-Class, 7 Series, A8) and 4.) Ubber luxury (Rolls, Bently, Maybach) Kind of tough to compare the different levels IMHO

I've never been in a G35 sedan so I'm not talking from experience here but I thought Infiniti had some interior quality issues. I don't quite see how the TL could come in behind the G35 or the CTS...the others I can understand.

the tl came in behind the g35 because the g35 is newer, hence more people will do research on it.

as mentioned before, this is ranked by frequent access, not purchasing.

I may be wrong but I think the article said that it was a list of the most popular lux cars based on visits to thier (MSN) vehicle research website.
Not necessarily the flat out best luxo cars to buy.

Yeah it's out. Only a hand few in the metro area. Now it's a real 3-series fighter. I think that's why BMW brought out the performance addition 330 sedans to up the bar.

The audi a4 is also fwd and it made that list as well. There are many peeps who buy the a4 in fwd than quattro to save cash or b/c they have no need for AWD

The new T-bird is decent. I would put it up there with other cars in it's price range (priced above the CL and TL). So yeah, I'd say it can be defined as a "luxury" car...even though it's a POS domestic.
