Holy crap..I guess I missed something on that page..is that price they give in Australian money..or is an Audi S4 129,00 American dollars?

Intresting..The wrx, definitely the best performance car for your money, pretty sure though that there would have to be a better choice than the lexus in the 4WD category..

THe Audi S4 is $129K Aussie dollars....which is about $95K US. :wink:
I agree that the Lexus isn't the best choice for luxury 4WD...I'd go for the Cayenne Turbo. :D

Yes! The mighty BA takes the best Best Family Car 3 years running... 8) And the Xr T was a close second to the Rex in the Sports class... 8)

The Commodore is still outselling the Falcon though....which is the title both companies really want. :wink: I don't think there is much between them anymore...I just prefer the looks of the Commodore. :)

Yeh it is, but the BA is deffinatly the better car, thats why it has been given the award 3 years running...But i do agree with you, Ford would love that top place...since we can't outsell commondore, might as well outpace them on the track...Go Ambrose... :lol:

Thats still really expensive for an S4..thats about twice the price that it is over here..I new that cars were more expensive over there but I didtn realize they were that much more..

The cayenne is about $95,000 here..which I dont think is worth it..and over there that would be ridiculous..but I do agree best luxrious off roader

Are you talking about the S or Turbo? The Cayenne S costs about $100K US here so thats not to bad, while the Turbo costs $155K US. :)

Cayenne is bullshit every1 buys them over VW tourag because it has a porche badge... its uglier inside and out VW should have won gimmie a V8 or V10 tourag anyday. :twisted:

i dont know many cars there, i think S4 isnt best choise in category sport cars

yep I agree, the M3 has won the previous 3 years so I'm not sure what changed this year....definately my choice for this category. :D

Toyota Prado is ugly as hell, where is the Land Rang/Rover?

Best Luxury Four Wheel Drive, what no Lexus LX470, Lincoln Navigator, Range Rover? how did you guys get stuck with the car based RX330?

The WRX cost alot for just the regular 2.0L

Best Luxury car is Handa Accord?? hahahahahahahahhaha

^ We don't get the Lincoln Navogator in Oz, and the Accord won the 'under $57K' category so not much other competition really.

I see lol, what about the Kia Amanti, it looks like a Jag, and fools alot of people and only cost $25,585 USD.

You guys are missing out on the Navigator, our www.motortrend.com almost always takes it with them when they do off road test, the last one they did was:
Navigator vs. LX470 vs. Range Rover HSE vs. QX56. Of course the Rover won, that was to be expected, but the disapointment came from the Infiniti QX56, for a price tag of around $60k USD, it was poorly made iwth lots of weird noises that should never come from a luxury any thing.

nope...never heard of the Kia Amanti. :(
