Same here. I saw a Continental on the highway and said ‘Damn... that’s nice.’ I got home and priced one out and ... yeah, no dice here, but maybe a used one in a year or two. So sleek looking. I’m 38 and haven’t own a non-VW/Audi save for my current Honda Insight in my 20+ year driving history, and I’d consider a…

When this is your daily drive, performance matters a bit less than a comfort and styling

Possibly true. But that’s giving him credit for knowing there are 2 separate municipalities named “Kansas City” in adjacent states.

Seconded. Young person here as well and I really like what Lincoln is doing. I’m really hoping for a next gen Continental that rides on the Rivian architecture. Give me art-deco ev. 

“I’ve got new ones for $25k. Or identical, 15 year-old ones for $2k.”

I’m in a Nissan rental right now, and although it’s been pointed out a trillion times that CVT is the fucking problem. Seriously the most maddening thing I’ve encountered in a modern car. It can’t make up it’s mind about what it wants to do, and putting the go pedal down is essentially just gambling. Do I get…

The Navigator and Aviator and not FWD, the Nautilus and Corsair are FWD chassis, but are VERY far from re-badged Fords.

Ok everyone, let’s put the whole coronavirus thing in perspective. In a few weeks, about four hundred people have died. That sounds scary, to be sure. And taking precautions against it is absolutely a good idea.  

It’s funny really. Cadillac banked on making sportier cars than BMW, and they succeeded. Faster, more powerful, more nimble, superior chassis’, etc. And nobody wanted them. The performance came at the cost of interior quality and engine refinement, and nobody was fooled.

I concur. Just skip all the BS and head over to your nearest Genesis dealer. The Genesis G70 Sport can be had with a manual and a decent 2.0T with RWD. If you’d rather have more power at the expense of 3 pedals, you can always go with the bigger engine and RWD. Overall, the Genesis quality is hard to beat and will…

A young person liking a Lincoln is the best news Lincoln has heard in 40 years.

A new Xterra. With a MUCH more efficient V6. But dear God, keep the body on frame, and don’t you fucking dare put a CVT in it.

As a young person, I really like lincoln’s offerings. They may be a little to expensive for me at the moment, but at least I like them. Thats more than I can say about cadillac. Nothing against GM, I own a GMC and like it.

Let me suggest a used (‘14-15 are the best years) Lexus GS350. 8-speed automatic, non-flashy infotainment, dead-nuts reliable, quiet, comfortable. The one I bought a year ago had 22K miles and was half of new MSRP ($26K).

4th Gear: It feels like Lincoln has pulled off a turnaround that was 10x more successful than Cadillac’s attempt, and in about 1/4 the time, just be doing really simple shit.

I’m right there with you, but good luck getting that car from literally any manufacturer now, though.

Something that has rear wheel drive and no CVT. Although a manual is preferred, a good 8-speed automatic would be fine. At least 300hp and either a sedan or a coupe. Quiet comfortable interior and well-designed headlights that are bright but aimed properly. Minimal infotainment. Just good sound and bluetooth audio…

Those little flag holders are the world’s most underrated vehicle accessory. It instantly adds a level of international intrigue, I may put some on my station wagon with a made up flag whenever a big event is on in town.

“Groups like the PFLP and DFLP, though members of the PLO, were sworn enemies of Arafat and those around him. On the other hand, they were very friendly with the Stasi and other non-state groups in their orbit like the Red Army Faction, or RAF, in West Germany.”

Sounds like they certainly tried, but due to the sheer volume and intervention of citizens who occupied the buildings and stopped them there’s still 69 miles thick of files in that archive! Not including the stuff they’re still piecing back together.
