  Personal luxury car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A personal luxury car is a highly styled, luxurious automobile intended for the comfort and satisfaction of its owner/driver, sacrificing passenger space, cargo capacity, and other practical concerns for the sake of style.
Personal luxury cars are usually, though not necessarily, two-door coupes or convertibles with two-passenger or 2+2 seating capacity.
Personal luxury cars are typically mass produced (rather than custom-bodied), sharing their mechanical components with more prosaic sedans to reduce production costs and increase profitability.

 Luxury vehicles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although there can be a great range of "vehicles" that offer luxurious settings, a true luxury car will be a car (sedan, coupé, hatchback, station wagon, roadster, etc.), a light truck (light pickup trucks), or a sport utility vehicle.
While a luxury car is difficult to define as it is somewhat subjective, there are certain guidelines by which the luxury cars are defined.
Crossover luxury vehicles are between 60-70 inches in height and generally more affordable than traditional luxury SUVs (70 inches and over in height) and feature a base MSP from approximately $30k to $42k.

This important new study of the luxury market, with a special emphasis on personal luxuries and automobiles, provides the results of a three-year longitudinal research study of the luxury market, which combines qualitative and quantitative methodologies.

 Luxury personal goods makers face mass market challenge
A look at the latest launches from the Mintel GNPD indicate that makers of luxury personal goods are having to go the extra mile, sourcing particularly exotic and efficacious ingredients as well as enhancing the packaging design to increase appeal.
Although leading luxury goods maker LVMH recently announced an 11 per cent jump in its sales during 2005, sales in its cosmetics and fragrance division grew by a relatively weak 7 per cent, suggesting that luxury personal care products makers might be the first to feel the threat of increased competition.
Although the market for luxury goods is far more developed in the US than Europe, a direct result of higher spending power, the market is still evolving rapidly, and there are a number of indicators that European consumers will also be looking towards such luxury experiences.

On a year-to-year basis, the Luxury Consumption Index was down 4.4 points at the end of 2004, from its baseline of 100 points in December 2003.

 Luxury Consumers Continue on a Spending Spree in 2005
The average amount spent by an affluent household on luxuries, including luxuries for the home, personal luxuries, automobiles and luxury experiences, rose 3.8 percent, to $52,588 in 2005, from $50,640 in 2004.
Personal luxury spending, on things like luxury apparel, fashion accessories, jewelry and watches, wine and spirits, pet luxuries and pens and desk accessories, rose 5.6 percent to $10,007 in 2005.
For luxury goods marketers and retailers the challenges for the future are daunting in the face of this trend toward experiences -- Luxury consumers are spending more, in many cases lots more, on life-changing experiences, while their need for luxury goods is waning.

 The Horton Insurance Group - Personal Insurance - Luxury, Landmark & Historical Homeowners Program
Not all insurance carriers, or their personal insurance policies, are created equal.
A “standard preferred” policy is unacceptable for luxury, landmark and historical homes because these policies will rarely provide true replacement cost coverage on the home.
Far too many luxury, landmark and historical property owners make the mistake of insuring their properties with the same personal insurance carrier they have used for years, long before they purchased a landmark, historical or expensive luxury dwelling.
