Viking and Wolf ranges might be high-end Mercedes' and BMWs, but I suspect La Cornue would rate a notch above that... And the La Cornue family of stoves range from entry level Porsches to bona fide Bentleys, with the largest and most doodady La Cornue's (http://lacornueusa.com/products/culinaire) reaching well over $100,000 if you want a custom designed island filled with La Cornue stove love. And that isn't even the most expensive stove in the world, this one is (http://most-expensive.net/stove), at $4 million when ordered in gold -- now THAT is ridiculous! :) The entry point for La Cornue is their Cornufé line that starts at say $7,000 more or less, just a little more than the larger Vikings, so they are definitely trying to broaden their market. Their bigger stoves are significantly higher in the $35,000-50,000 range. While I love cars as well, I think a great stove is far better value over the long term... :) If I win the Lotto55 this evening I would design a house, around a kitchen, around a spectacular island with a stove to die for. Then I could probably be cremated in it if it had enough BTU's...
