Yes, but that was because Volvo. Their seats can do no wrong.

If you added more weight to the 5 series GT...would you really notice?

Well, one major distinguisher between them and some other manufacturers are the innovative use of ‘names’ for model designations, as opposed to their own Infiniti's 'Pair of numbers' strategy or Lincoln's 'Single letter' plan.

Not everywhere. The limited access divided highways in my area are listed at 110 kph-not bad.

Even big, multi-billion dollar public corporations in countries with real maternity leave policies screw this up sometimes-not surprised a young company in the US like Nast managed to. Glad the fired folks in question are fighting it.

Man, that UK website is awful-and contradictory. Finally downloaded the brochure, and the weights and everything are laid out there. Makes a lot more sense-and seems to back up the weight claims. Would love to know more about how they got it lighter than a Honda Fit.

The 1.2 Puretech 82 is listed at 1142 kgs, or 2518 lbs-which is what they said they drove. The most base model version, the 1.2 Puretech 75 Touch, is listed at 965.

I suspect a US spec model couldn't be that light then, a la Alfa 4c.

Someone lied to them about the weight. Not a chance that thing weighs 2100 lbs.

Makes that Dart look like a new Taurus.

No, more recent offerings are still under warranty, they are as unreliable as ever :-)

Almost verbatim the conversation my (wonderful, patient, creative, thoughtful) wife and I had. Er, can’t bring myself to call her Mrs Harv, seems at least as weird as it would have been if she took my real last name.

So they’ll just sell a single name of minvan then? Don’t see how it makes a difference that they’ll be Town and Countries only from now on.

They might, but most of the rest of us don't invite those people to our parties.

Read it again. They are retooling the factory for the Caravan, not canceling it.

Jethro, you must have mightily refined tastes indeed. Didn’t answer the question though. What is a luxury car? A definition, not a list.

I tend to agree with you and your list, but there are some cars, even more so than the SS, that just place themselves perfectly to give those categories fits.

argh kinja'd

The 5.2 V10 being an evolution of the 5.0 V10.

Well, the Holden Commodore.
