in Classical Drives, on August 8, 2008

Where's The Luxury Gone?
in carzz.org, on March 25, 2006
After reading Phil's piece about chrome ( Bling-blings Make a Comeback ), I got to thinking about real luxury cars. I guess because I equate fancy looks with wealthy people. Anyway, then I got to thinking about the high-end cars that are being sold today: Audis, BMW, Mercedes, etc. and...
