I really don't get it. I've now bought two new BMWs, in both cases my haggling consisted of a couple e-mails back and forth with the dealership. Plus maybe an hour of research to figure out what a "fair" price for the order was. No big deal, no hassle at all. In both cases, a reasonable price. Not the BEST deal I can…

Then you need to drive more cars that don't suck. I would suggest starting with anything from a 3 generations old S-class to any generation of Lexus LS. The LS is what the Town Car would have been had Ford actually cared to do more than make massive profits off an ancient platform.

There is no competition because the demand for that sort of thing died with the majority of their ancient decrepit owners - this is not 1979 any more. The only people who still cared were livery service owners who just wanted a slightly nicer indestructible taxi. Again, nobody should have to drive one who isn't…

I know the truth hurts, just try to grin and bear it. These cars were a decent idea wretchedly executed.

Yes, indeed I do. European taxi drivers are lucky sods, but those cars are not luxurious in taxi trim either, bar the S-class taxis which actually are. The difference is that a taxi spec Mercedes is still a Mercedes, while a Town Car is an ancient Ford that wasn’t very good 35 years ago. IMHO, no one should have to…

What was wrong with this car is that it cost BMW 5-series money but had Ford Taurus build quality.

You drive a Town Car, aka a tarted up Ford taxi/cop car? What is luxurious about a Town Car, exactly? It's like a pickup truck with a sedan body on top.

For anything more common than a Tucker, parts are not hard to come by these days. The mechanicals of this car were shared with eleventy-billion Fiat sedans of the era. It's not something any rational human would try to use as a daily driver, but it is a lovely sunny day toy for pocket money.

If a British car isn't leaking it means you are out of that fluid. It's not a bug, it's a feature!

I know it is a Ford Escape in a $15K party frock, but I LUST after the new Discovery Sport. It just looks so right inside and out. The Evoque doesn't do it for me though - that is just trying to hard.

Compared to my '01 P38 Range Rover, these are lifted cars too.

There is something ridiculously awesome about a convertible with a glass sunroof. Only Ze Germans...

Mine will tow 7K lbs - how big a track car do you have? :-) I tow a 6500lb boat with it regularly, and it handles the job very well.

You know, there are happy mediums between the nastiness that is the Corolla and a Tavarish-special AMG Merc. And sorry mate, but the Corolla is a truly miserable penalty box of a car. Literally every single car in its class is better.

You just need the right car. I strongly suggest an old Range Rover. For whatever reason, women go absolutely bonkers over the thing. I have had more hot woman than I could shake a stick at come right up to me and tell me they love my truck. It’s not even all THAT nice! I am pretty sure with the Rover and a puppy I…

BMW has made FAR more 2dr sedans than they have 4 door coupes - does that get you all worked up as well?

I have to say a big noooooppppeeeeeee on this one. It’s not cheap enough - you can’t make this car decent for what a decent one costs. Reality is this would probably be a decent parts car - IF it had any decent parts. But it doesn’t run, it has holes in the body and hail damage, and the interior is trashed. And in…

And you are still wrong, as the French were building 4dr coupes in the '30s. Coupe simply means a lower roofline, it has nothing to do with the number of doors. Do 2dr sedans upset you just as much? They are a lot more common.

The only way I would live in NYC is I had enough money to NEVER have to set foot on the street. I would travel by chauffeured car and helicopter only. I go there for work often, and hate every second of it. If I have to live in an urban Hellhole, I would pick San Francisco - the weather is about 10X nicer, as are the…

Search for “Rover P5B Coupe”. You are simply wrong on this, and BMW and Mercedes-Benz are correct. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coup%C3%A…
