[edit] Luxo cars
Hi, yes I do have a refernce- Kbb. Here;s what I did, I looked at all the cars Kelly Blue Book classified as luxury and used the pricing provided by their manufacturers to form the guidelines. The cheapest luxo car not made a luxo car maker when I did my research started at $36k, thus establishing that tresholds. The cheapest luxo car made by a luxo car maker was the 3-Series starting at $29k. Later I looked at other published sources to see whether or not my tresholds worker-they did. The problem here is that this is vague concept and that you can find thousands of different opinions on it. But $25k is a redicuoulously low! Think about it- Ford Expolorer a luxo SUV?! The average car sold in America last year had an MSRP of roughly $30k how can the luxo treshold be lower than the average MSRP? Regards, Signaturebrendel 01:17, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- As I said the cheapest luxo car made by a non-luxo maker was $36k on Kbb. As for luxo car maker the MSP was a compromise with another user, Samstayton who is now inactive. According to this compromise we sat the definition of luxo car maker as one w/ a MSP of $36k. Before I just used the brands listed on kbb. Hope this answers your question.

- Okay at first I did not define a luxo make as one with a MSP of $36k or more, I just took those listed by kbb. For cars however I had to find some sort of treshold, as I said I used the price of the cheapest luxo car on kbb-$36k. Prestige is not classified in the article. Luxury cars have it-that's common knowledge. There are no guidelines for what exactely prestige is other than the manner in which cars are discussed in the press and even such sources are still highly subjective.
