They were always painted metal/steel bumper. I don't think it have changed on the 2015 model.

However, pickuptrucks.com, who are real truck user, rated the Sierra/Silverado 3rd and 4th behind the F150 and the Ram...

They're awesome cars for the price, and they're cheap to make move around. I love my '92 LX 5.0 :)

Except for the luxury part. But the Pre-86 still had a better interior than the 87-93 IMHO (except for the GM Truck-like dash).

No, that link actually confirm that it ain't the most US-made vehicle. It's close, but not.

Mmm they looks good, but I personally prefer those. Maybe because they were the 'new' models when I was in the age to be a fanboy.

The Firebird/Trans Am was better, especially since the first gen Trans Am is the ugliest muscle car ever made.

Those were the best looking Subaru.

Can we add the 2014 Tundra? I think they beat GM's twins on the 'under refreshed' truck!

Came here to say that too... The pre-redesign Lincoln looks MUCH better. Post-redesign, they are on the same level.

Little different? The cars share nothing as sheetmetal and interior panels. If it worked for other manufacturers 'fully developped' vehicle, why wouldn't it works for Lincoln's stop-gap model? So you're telling me an A4 have no advantage over a Passat, a Q3 is a Tiguan and a Touareg is a Cayenne?

Btw, the MKZ is as much a rebadged Ford as the A4 was a rebadged Passat until what, 2010? Sharing only SOME engines and basic chassis/underpinning. Then there's the Nano family coming soon that'll probably be Lincoln exclusive in that class.

'Revival Plan'

That's the Lexus version.

One's 'strategy' started 10 years ago. The other's 'strategy' started what, 3 months ago?

Wait until Toyota comes out with their small turbo engine... It'll be a gift from the gods, right from the same place the Ferrero Rochers comes from, according to what CR will say.

I think, as I previously stated, that both companies went different ways. Ford put their effort on their bread and butter cars, the volume leaders. GM went with the flashy, halo, luxury car, making an image. Both used different strategies, and it seems to work for both.
