If a significant portion of my income didn’t come from uber I’d be looking at a much smaller car. My Elantra was about as small as I could go while still having a fairy large and easy to get into backseat.

I like the less-busy front end of my 2015 S manual.
I’m going to say my Grand Marquis. Nothing else will ride nearly as smoothly. Despite crash testing and safety equipment, nothing will ever feel as safe and cosseting. So effortless in its power delivery as the big V8 never lifted a finger to propel the car. You never got anywhere that quickly, but you arrived, all…
Lincoln DOES have commercials featuring the Town Car. It immolates and then through the cloud of smoke appears the new MKZ.
Body on frame vehicles that aren't trucks or SUVs.
For me it was my Grand Marquis. Before it I would never own an American car, and I thought that the archetype of big, body on frame sedans was dumb and pointlessly large. But I now understand the appeal of rolling slow in the comfort of such a car.
The Mercury Marauder.
...oh wait, it was actually around already, just with some cosmetic differences and more racy shades of velour.
I contributed to Nissan's sales. Hooray!
The Insight base model made sense - it was $5-6k cheaper than a base Prius, and I bet hypermilers can get similar mileage out of both.
WHY HAS NOONE SUGGESTED GRAND MARQUIS YET!?
I genuinely can't see any of them, except one person saying they aren't really in the same class. Hooray!
Don't forget that the Tahoe and Expedition are body on frame. This is a unibody regardless of how powerful the engine moving it is.
Here's a question I have. How much absorption do tires with greater sidewall really do? My Grand Marquis has 16" rims with 60 profile tires, would I notice a difference with 55 or 50 profile?
My Grand Marquis is rated at 15/23...it gets 21 around town and 28-29 on the highway. No complaints here.
I have a spinal condition that will put me in a wheelchair in about 20 years (I'm 19). My Grand Marquis is the only car I've found I can sit comfortably in because the seats are just so soft and allow my asymmetrically curved back to sink in.
Single exhaust, 2.77 gears, roughly 220 HP at the flywheel (it dyno'd under 200)
All of the above, sir.
Did Mercury have a single 'mostly' unique vehicle in the past 30 years? I can't recall any, unless the Villager counts.
I'm gonna choose to ignore the Mercury hate (even if it is *gasp* deserved) and stare at my Grand Marquis to make me feel better.
