How could your 55 Mercury Montclair make a 78 Continental look like a compact, when the Lincoln is 22 1/2 feet long in overall length?

You're right when you say technology has come a long way. Unfortunately most modern car manufacturers don't take advantage of it. I mean when you see 1960s and 1970s luxury barges with power locks, power windows, automatic climate control, and automatic parking brake releases, you wonder why some of those features don't exist on most vehicles today. It's just sad that a lot of vehicles have sacrificed a lot of neat things for the sake of fuel economy.

I mean the switch to smaller cars isn't bad for the average person, but when you see every car (even domestics and luxury vehicles) trying to look like a Toyota Camry, you know you've got a problem there.
