Is The Ford F-150 America's Favorite Luxury Vehicle? - The Car Connection

The line between mass-market and luxury vehicles has become fuzzy in recent years. Sure, there are still mainstream, bargain-basement rides like the Nissan Versa, just as there are high-end Bentley Continental GTs for the world's Beckhams, Hiltons, and Kardashians. That's largely due to today's array of high-tech add-ons like collision-avoidance systems, beefy stereos, and souped-up infotainment centers -- not to mention longstanding upgrades like leather seats and such. Those features can easily push the cost of a $20,000 coupe soaring past $40,000. . If we define luxury in terms of price, the answer is also yes. If we define luxury in terms of exclusiveness, the answer is no. To many motorists, the notion of "luxury" involves a degree of exclusivity. To them, a car can't be truly luxurious if everyone else has one. True, there aren't that many of the higher-end variants roaming the roads, but as a model, the F-150 is the best-selling ride in America, and it has been for decades. In that brief, decidedly non-scientific luxury questionnaire, the Ford F-150 wins two out of three points, which is good enough for us. READ: 2015 Dodge Charger R/T: Quick Drive.
