Thumbs up LS 460 wins Edmunds' Consumers Most Wanted Sedan Over $60,000

Sedan Over $60,000: Lexus LS 460

Among the new Lexus LS 460's many high-tech features is the car's ability to parallel park itself. Really. So perhaps it's not surprising that it also managed to park itself into the top slot of consumer desire for the category of "Sedan Over $60,000." This is a new Consumers' Most Wanted category for 2007 and it's packed with A-list luxury sedans. The LS 460 took the top spot with 23 percent of the vote. However, it should be noted that just two percentage points separated the top three choices. Audi's A8 (and S8) came in 2nd with 22 percent and the redesigned Mercedes-Benz S-Class took 3rd with 21 percent. BMW's 7 Series sedan took 4th place with 18 percent while the Jaguar XJ-Series (9 percent) and Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class (8 percent) brought up the rear.

Gee, and I didn't even vote!

What was the consumers most wanted sedan under $10,000?

That would be the Chevy Cobalt. I didn't vote either, was there a notice on InsideLine somewhere? I did vote for the CNET Car of the Year, which the LS won (although the editors chose it; an Acura fan used some IP trick to vote hundreds of times supposedly).

An odd survey result. I'm not sure how a Cadillac DTS could beat an Audi A6, or an Escalade could beat an X5 or a GL-class. GM Seems to be a bit overly popular in the results, which makes me suspicious...

Well it may have to do with the numbers purchased. If I'm not mistaken, at least the Escalade is quite popular.
