Talk:Executive car

message: The article is about a British car classification and is thus written from a British/European perspective. The British word for a notchback car with four doors is saloon, not sedan. Please do not change it. Bravada, talk - 14:17, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: No, because I really can't be bothered over something so pathetic. The gold S80 clearly shows more detail of the car. Enough said. OSX (talk • contributions) 11:04, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: What detail specifically? The photo is taken from a worse angle and we get a better overview and less distortion in the the black Volvo photo. I really can't see your point besides pushing a photo of a "newer" car. I am also afraid the gold S80 is an USDM version, and I would be hesitant about putting a photo of an USDM car in this article to avoid any confusion. PrinceGloria (talk) 11:13, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Daimler always made very expensive luxury cars until the Jaguar takeover. They did also make relatively small, by their standards, luxury cars from the early 1920s following the economic crises between the Armistice and that time. Have a look here. Sadly it is extremely difficult to obtain good images of these cars. The modern equivalent might be a high-spec C-class Mercedes. All that to say I am uncomfortable with the choice of the Daimler Fifteen for the beginning of their "executive" cars. Eddaido (talk) 03:44, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Eddaido. Thanks for your comments. The only Daimlers previously covered in the article were from the 1960s, so I have tried to cover more of their history. For the early models, it is hard to judge whether a model would be equivalent to an exec or full-size luxury car, so I only went back to the Fifteen.  Sorry that my loose wording incorrectly stated that the Fifteen was their first exec car. If you could provide any more detail on those early models, that would be much appreciated.

replies: text: Did you follow the link I gave? You may see the matching previous and following models and, when there are photos, catch an idea for yourself. Think of Daimler as then producing a range of cars as does and then did its 'cousin' in Germany. I feel sure they watched each other closely and personnel knew each other well though the British company, run by an American Electrical Engineer, (I suspect) usually provided less complex technical solutions to the everyday problems of building big luxury cars. But then I might be wrong about that.  Daimlers were very expensive cars, their standing was considerably cheapened by having their name plastered on common or garden big Jaguars. Be sure Lyons only did it because he thought it might move his brand up a notch or two. Cheers, Eddaido (talk) 11:48, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks Eddaido. I've updated the beginning to talk about the lineage starting with the 16.  That is very interesting about the close connection with Germany. The Jaguar situation sounds quite similar to how Maybach is now just a trim level plastered onto plebian Mercs! Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 22:24, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
