Doesn't Dodge call some engine the Tigershark now?

Every year of Odyssey has worse reliability grades from Consumer Reports than Toypta Siennas.

The link goes to little pieces of Lexus, not a whole one.

Of course it all depends on the kind of mileage. A car driven 100K mostly in the city has gone three or four times the number of engine revolutions, used the steering and ball joints etc. 1000 times as much, shifted 1000 times more, started from cold 1000 times more etc. than one driven back and forth from LA to NYC.…

Or the Renault/Eagle Medallion/21. Definitely looking at French cars as well as Audi, with the interior also.

Except it wasn't selling. All luxury cars up, Cadillac down. They no doubt surveyed a lot of luxury car buyers and almost none of them understood the current names.

They should maybe just use the Fleetwood name like Jaguar uses Vanden Plas. Means folding burl picnic tables in the back seat.

I always have to look up the name of that awful thing.

I said something like that somewhere here also.

Sounds like a Las Vegas casino.

Lincoln letters stand for old names. The last letter anyway.

Yeah, CT8 makes more sense. Particlarly with Audi A8 at the top of the range.

A numbering system puts an understandable order into the hierarchy.

And they should dump it because it is bad for their image. Or make it unique like a Range Rover, not an overdressed Chevy truck.

Nice post, thanks. I've complained about Cadillac current names before. I never know what they are supposed to mean. Same with Lincoln, until I decode them into the old actual names they stand for. At least the CT4,5,6 puts them in a logical order. Going back to Series 62 and maybe 63 and 64 or 72 and 82 would make…

Good call. The XKE anyway. Now that's thinking outside the box.

Copied from some Citroen I believe.

Opposite of pure and simple though.

Noooooo. OK, not a 2 box, but I walked by a perfect from a time machine one of these recently and well, it was awesome. All engineering all the time, no bullshit, just the pure essence of Germanness.

What's wrong with you people? Every time I walk by the one on my block I think "That's the ugliest of all the ugly Toyota designs. Completely uncoordinated, zigs and zags for the sake of zigs and zags, trying to be cool and missing by a mile. The exact opposite of what this thread is supposed to be about.
