    When I see how Infiniti products deteriorate, it is not hard to guess why they depreciate so rapidly. In my work, when I see interior trim broken and/or discolored by human hands, and leather cracked and faded early, plus early exterior deterioration, it tells me Datsun is not serious about building true quality luxury vehicles.

    If my employment status doesn't change soon, I might be joining the "older vehicle" crowd.

    FWD has a good bit of sucky characteristics in schnow. Steering is nigh on impossible when the vehicle will only push sideways. With RWD you can steer with the throttle which is advantageous, with AWD, if the system computer is set right, drama is reduced when turning v. a FWD.

    After having seen the ILX, I like the looks of it.

    Sounds like fun. Local dealer has a nice base model right now in "Moonrock Silver", a color I had not seen before yesterday. Too bad it was not a manual. Autocrossing must be a blast. One of these days I'd like to try it, cones be darned.

    I sawr a white one this evening in motion on the road. It is a classy little car.

    Hopefully this means the front clips are shared between the pickups and SUVs once again, as before the 900s. What I can see looks good so far. Maybe this will mean the next Yukon won't look like a bullfrog peeking over the surface of the pond. Good catch, Mr. Doane.

    RWD is the only way to go if Lincoln is ever to be taken seriously again. I hope this happens for them, sincerely. And I was over at the '13 MKZ site yesterday evening. I just cannot warm up to the new styling. It's round in the front and square in the back, and it has so many derivative elements. Bleh. Even with the Aston grille, the 2013 Fusion is a much more successful design, imo.

    I liked the Integra, but also the Legend coupes and sedans were nice, for Hondas. Also, I did like the RSX. And the NSX was one of the few Japanese classics, imo.

    Sorry nope. The Colorado is not much bigger than the S-10. Regular cab 2WD dimensions S-10/Colorado: 67.9 W 67.6 62.0 H 64.9 190.0 L 192.4 108.3 WB 111.3 Extended cab 2WD dimensions S-10/Colorado: 67.9 W 67.6 62.7 H 64.9 205.3 L 207.1 122.9 WB 126.0 This is for the 2000 S-10 and 2012 Colorado, per Edmunds. The S-10 had 15" wheels, the Colorado moved to 16" a few years ago as standard, so that might have a tiny bit to do with overall height, not much but a little.

    I went over to that "old car brochure" site (fascinating) and started with 1957 on the Lincoln list. I saw limousines in the 1959 brochure, Continental Town Car it was called I believe. I also didn't realize that the original, classic '61 Continental we all hold up as Lincoln's styling zenith was so small. It was, in turn, enlarged each model year after that a bit at a time for several years. They certainly hid it well. Lincolns of the era (early 50's saw their racing success) seemed well-engineered, but weren't blessed with amazing style until '61. I wonder how that smaller '61 Continental sold against Cadillac and Imperial.

    Always liked these even though they're strictly street vehicles. An SLE-1 AWD with 3.6L and no other options would be the one I'd get. Wait, can the 6 cylinder even be ordered in base trim?

    Your last paragraph is totally incorrect.

    Imperial and Cadillac, I believe, produced limousines that year. I wonder if Lincoln ever produced a limo at the factory level. The Eldorado and Crown shown weren't limos, per se, if we're talking strictly of cars one is "driven" in. EDIT: I stand corrected, if my source is correct, Lincoln did make a factory limo in 1957, with no extra length in wheelbase, but with an extended rear passenger compartment. Now I need photos.

    Reminds me of a discount A7, and I like the A7. Not sure how this will play in Boca Raton.

    Good choice for 1957 Beauty Queen.

    Nice ramp-up on the Verano so far.

    I would have to take a test-sit in the Cadillac and the Imperial before making a move on this. The Lincoln appears absolutely ordinary compared to the other two domestics and the Europeans all look dorky except for the Benz, and to a lesser extent, the Rolls.
