    I would still be buying this over any other Luxury car in the price range, but would probably spring for the larger mill.

    http://www.vwvortex.com/news/volkswagen-news/volkswagen-to-propose-tdi-fix-on-november-11/ I stand corrected on the FIX for the first gen TDI's bTW.

    I love this car in this profile....would gladly drop coin for this!

    Except that BMW outsells Lincoln and Chrysler. BMW has an actual following for their cars in the Luxury car market that is pretty damned loyal, regardless of what we here at C and G may say about them,

    Sadly, Pontiac and Oldsmobile are remembered for the most part only by car geeks. The general population, not so much. The 14's may not have a fix. There is no EPA certified fix for any of the three generations. As for Fuel economy, the EA 288 in the 15's does even better, i regularly see over 50 MPG. Hauling two bikes on the back, sunroof open, windows down, 75 MPH I got 52.2 driving to a trialhead in a nature preserve. Rode 35 miles Saturday! There is nothing wrong with Gasoline. i have been in love with what it does since I was a small boy.

    Were I to be buying a luxury car, this is actually where my money woudl go. I have had very serious thoughts about a gently sued/CPO version to replace the Jetta. I like this better than anything else in the price bracket, honestly.

    Indeed...methinks with the reliability issues of the gasser models, they really, realy have their work cut out for them.

    Friday was an interesting day at work. I work on the campus of a university in the facilities department. Obama is speaking here on Tuesday/tomorrow so we had the secret service here all over campus. A lot of other strange things happened....the women's volleyball team showed up in Halloween costumes for practice. Was interesting watching wonder woman, cat woman, and few other notables at the net. But nothing was quite as otherworldly as watching the cat fight between grown men over a four door Ford. Lincoln is a really tired brand and this will be a shot in the arm, but in the minds of buyers (the ones actually putting money to metal and keeping the factory open) they have a long way to go to catch up to Buick, Acura, Lexus, Infinity Cadillac, Audi, BMW, Mercedes and the like. I wish Ford no ill, but am not impressed with several elements of the car in question. For the record, I would honestly rather drive a Miata or a WRX than this thing, but then Luxury cars are not my thing. Were Suav or another member to get one, I would be very happy that they had acquired a car that they liked. Would like a rational discussion about what is right and wrong with the various design elements of the car, but that does not seem like it is in the car for this thread.

    I will give you Buick, Acura and Infinity but not Lexus. And yes, the Burgundy really is nice.

    They have Jeep and Ram doing well, Fiat is in the toilet and other than two retro muscle cars the whole group is not really selling passenger cars in the USA. Nor will they probably be doing so in any volume in the future.
  12. A Horse With No Name
    They have long memories when it comes to list resale, and the gassers took a major hit when this whole thing broke. The real leader in sub prime car loan right now is Nissan, I would imagine that VW will be joining them in that endeavor.
  13. A Horse With No Name
    I think the Cruise and the Mazda three strike me both as much better small cars.
  14. A Horse With No Name
    I hope like crazy it does so also. While I am not down with the styling, it is good to see some of the confidence and swagger from GM Cadillac make it across town to the blue oval boys!
  15. A Horse With No Name
    It will be awhile before they recover from diesel gate. And the world of automobile buyers is not going to be set on fire by a not particularly attractive or technically competent SUV styled like a Passat.
  16. A Horse With No Name
    They sell in such micro numbers this niche would be about these of a bridge game.
  17. A Horse With No Name
    Sorry, just not down with the styling on this in any way shape or form. I do agree Lincoln has nice color choices though.
  18. A Horse With No Name
    It is all highly political.
  19. A Horse With No Name
    Given their sales figures, one could fit all of the future owners of these in North America in a high school football locker room. ...and it wouldn't even have to be a large locker room at that....
  20. A Horse With No Name
    ..and I would not want to own one out of warranty. Depends on which MINI.
  21. A Horse With No Name
    Please do tell more. Absolutely correct. Closest I would come is a MINI, and that comes with other issues.
  22. A Horse With No Name
    The Lexus is somewhat bland. I like their passenger cars much more than their SUV's/
  23. A Horse With No Name
    Given how few manuals are being sold, this is actually a sane business decision. Everyone from Acura to Ferrari seems to be dropping them. Last time i was at a major Chevrolet dealership they had one manual Corvette on the lot and everything else was automatic.
  24. A Horse With No Name
    Yes again! Interesting how much more I like this than the initial choice presented.
  25. A Horse With No Name
    False dichotomy, in the real world you are not constrained to either poor choice like you are in a C and G dream car garage thread. I really try not to sound like a hater, but you could not get the keys out of my hands fast enough if I owned either and could get a reasonable trade in value out of it.
