It all comes down to the smug factor. The only reason for the S400 is so some rich douchebags can still smugly say "I drive a hybrid" without having to put put around in some plastic-fastastic econobox.

That puts Snyder in a tough position. He can either approve the bill and keep his dealer constituents happy or veto the legislation and run counter to the recent stance by other Republicans – including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio – all of which have come in favor…

Goddammit, Cadillac.

We've been waiting for this car for a fucking decade already.

This is the answer.
I would totally buy this.

Hey, it's a start. If this turns out to be the first step toward the RWD flagship sedan I've been hoping for, I'll applaud the move. News of any RWD vehicle out of Lincoln is a very positive sign as the platform could and likely would be used for several different vehicles.

This past week we announced a new flagship car to be built in Detroit. No reaction.

It's also everything I lust after in American luxury cars

GT Premium coupe
Black over saddle leather
6-speed manual
GT Track Pack

Now if only they would fix that goofy Spongebob Squarepants front end..

it's been that way for some time. Those ugly shapeless blob headlamps just ruin it. The R230 (pre-facelift) was the last good looking one, IMO.

Flex EcoBoost would be my other suggestion. It's pretty ideal for his situation and yeah, it's fast.

A fucking van? Seriously?

The Ford Five Hundred, in addition to an unrecognizable nameplate, was hampered by some of the blandest, most uninspiring styling ever put on a car. This was mitigated slightly when it became the Taurus again, and finally fixed with the latest gen.

Too bad it suffers from the same ugly, misshapen blob headlamps as the SL.

MICHIGAN VEHICLE CODE (EXCERPT)

tinted windows, which are against the law in Michigan

Holy shit, epic post. The W220 S-class is one of my all time favorites. I wish I had the time and garage space to do something like this. Once again you've done a fantastic job it looks great. Glad to hear it's been reliable, too.

My dream...

In other news, Lincoln has a smell now...

This is fucking stupid and a ridiculous waste of money. I can't believe Ford is raking in multi-billion dollar quarterly profits and yet refuses to invest the necessary resources in its luxury brand to make it a serious competitor in today's market. They don't need a scent (seriously?) or a new stupid marketing…
