  1. I had to laugh at this. My mind wandered over to the many uses of back seats. As for the Pontiac, my dad had a used '70 Pontiac LeMans coupe we bought about 10 years later and with under 50,000 miles. Color: Bimini Blue, IIRC, with black interior. Found it in the L.A. Times. It had been brought down from a small town in the Pacific Northwest. Nice people selling it - none of that stupid L.A. vs. Seattle mentality back then. It had a 250 c.i. L6 (Chevy vintage), no air, and no power accessories (yes to steering and brakes, though). We bought it as an extra car and we joked that it was "the dog's car" because, with vinyl seats, it was the only one she was allowed to ride in. My dad had vowed never to buy a Pontiac, because they weren't as good as Buick and Olds. As it turned out, that LeMans coupe this was, by far, the most reliable car the family had ever owned. The back seat - just great. I cut my teeth on doing small auto maintenance tasks on this car. The engine bay was largely empty and there was a lot of leeway to get it right the first time. This color, more or less, but the base model, sans rally wheels, hood scoops, and a spoiler: early 70s Pontiac LeMans coupe That model could either have a 250 (L6) or V8s displacing 350, 400, and 455 (all Pontiac versions)! Funny how no one ever got pissed when their other GM car brands had inline 6s made by Chevy ... referring to when Chevy 350s were discovered in Olds products and how that enraged those buyers. And Pontiac always dialed in their dashboards better than did their counterparts at Buick and Olds - IMO LeMans dashboard I so miss the Pontiac Motor Division.

  3. All the 2-dr sedans & hardtops I've owned/been around were mostly full-size cars. Next time I'm over my buddy's, I'll check out getting in/out of his '66 LeMans 2-dr rear seat. Wife had an '87 Mustang LX but I don't remember if I was ever in it's back seat.

  4. I don't find any of the Big 3 truck distasteful- well maybe the Super Duty. Were I to rank them: 1. '19 GMC 2. '19 Ram 3. '18 F-150 4. '19 SIlverado but I could own any of them.

  5. Nice Looking Sedan and the interior is pleasant. Dash is minimalist but at the same time says 21st century. I think this is nicer looking than what BMW or MB is currently offering.

  6. Ford at least has a switch to turn that dastardly feature off, but you have to bemember to do it every time you start your vehicle.
