Luxury and ultra-luxury sedan tests and videos

Luxurycarsov1 Last month we looked at affordable small and sporty small cars. This month we drove vehicles on other end of the price spectrum by testing luxury and ultra-luxury sedans for the November 2007 issue. These vehicles offer a high level of comfort, roominess, and luxury features at a premium price.

The full road tests from the magazine have been posted at ConsumerReports.org, along with videos from our auto staff experts. These videos highlight our tests of each vehicle, plus our experts demonstrate some of the latest technologies.

Bmw5seriesdrifting "The Money Class" features the BMW 535i (ahem, drifting), Infiniti M35, Mercedes-Benz E-Class (which includes the E320 diesel engine as well as the E350), Lexus GS 450h, and the Volvo S80. Watch the videos.

"Ultra-lux face-off" features a one-on-one showdown of the Lexus LS 460L and Mercedes-Benz S550. These cars were covered in a comparison article in print, though we will soon have full road tests posted in the model overview pages (available to online subscribers). Watch the videos.
