Background:
As automobiles grew in size in the 1950’s, so did their prices rise to accommodate the cost causing a new type of vehicle to emerge. The term “Executive Cars” started to be used in 1960’s to describe large, expensive cars which target consumers who comprised largely of upper-middle class: mid-senior and senior managers, as well as other successful professionals. Due to a growth of large (family cars), fuel efficacy and other factors, many manufactures stopped producing executive cars in the 1990’s and allocated their efforts in other market segments.

Example Models: Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, Jaguar XF, Peugeot 607, Saab 9-5, Volvo S80.
