The footage not being the same as the audio really doesnt matter. Both situations are a testament to how awesome all three folks involved are. The footage pilot, the 17 year old pilot and her instuctor.

I was wondering how Toyota was going to make a business case for the Crown with just one expensive sedan, but it looks now like they are making it sub-brand with several models, so that makes more sense. I attended a press presentation for the Crown via Zoom back in December and it was interesting. The powertrain is very compelling, but I'm not yet sold on the looks. I'm also not sold on that being a "first class cabin". It's nice and all, but I look to Genesis for first class cabins... even high end Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade for what a first-class cabin should look like. This is a Hyundai Sonata Limited.

Maybe they could partner up with another OEM again, not quite struggling but emerging from a struggle just a decade before, call it a merger of equals, and...loot all their great engineering ideas and assets and then leave them to rot... Cant do it with Chrysler again because Chrysler belongs to the Stellantis group. Cant do it with GM as GM is a powerhouse. No need for a merger at this point in time. Cant do it with Toyota... Toyota has cash. Lots of it. Toyota's cash wont allow for a powermove like that to happen. If anything, Toyota will be the one using Mercedes as a call girl... Hyundai/KIA is not interested. That leaves Honda and Ford. Honda doesnt have anything of value...but Ford does. Hey...I got it! Maybe Mercedes could partner up with FoMoCo. Their aging G-Wagon could be based off the Bronco. Imagine the Bronco Raptor as a G Wagon!!! Their Sprinter vans could be merged with the Transit line. And...Mercedes could allow for the development of the next Ford GT...Mercedes could scuttle that program, say that American cars suck, cancel the GT program, take that engineering with them, make the next Mercedes SLS off that prgram, take all the Ford F150 future development plans and voila...Mercedes has a legit full sized pick-up truck to sell and have a cash cow for the next 20 years as they did with Chrysler and Jeep with the SUV craze...

Love this story, these are some sexy Lincolns. We'd Love To Own These Modified Lincoln Continentals (hotcars.com) @oldshurst442 @ccap41 @surreal1272 I really hope someone takes this to the next logical step of a modern take as an EV. These are awesome cars IMHO. Check out all the takes this guy has on various cars, but I love this modern take on the Hard top Lincoln.

All 4 Mercedes EVs each outsell the Lyric right now. I don’t like the EQS or EQE, I think the ICE cars look better and I’d buy the ICE version but at least they give the customer a choice, both are available at dealerships. And they do sell them , this is how car sales are supposed to work, dealers get cars, then they sell them. Then they get more cars in and sell those. This idea of dealers with no inventory and place an order online and get it in a 6 months or a year is not sustainable for a company, especially legacy OEMs who are built on volume. There are only 3 Mercedes dealers in the Pittsburgh area and Bobby Rahal owns 2 of them. Wexford has 15 EV’s and Pittsburgh has 7 but they have half the total inventory there since it is in the city.
