A 1978 Lincoln Continental is the apex of a luxury vehicle and they used to sell like crazy (I mean crazy). Same could be said for the big Cadillacs as well. Less and less people are able to afford such vehicles (or any decent vehicle at all), but yet they're theoretically in the same financial class as their forefathers. I'd say that has something to do with the vehicle at hand.
And nobody hates the guy with the Toyota, he can comment on this site and thread if he wants to. But he cannot go around putting people down and acting like we're all dummies, just because he feels like an intellectual for some reason. Now his more recent comments have been appropriate, and I don't find much problem with them at all.

The EPA is not loosely related to cars at all. It directly affects the types of cars that are manufactured. You had better believe that cars and engines are going to keep getting a lot smaller in order to meet the coming EPA requirements. I would say the EPA has almost more of an effect than consumer demand.

This whole thread (which started out as a American luxury car) is way off topic, because certain individuals can't leave well enough alone, and have to post opinionated comments the size of a dictionary. This is the first comment I posted in over 3 weeks, due to the fact that we are way off topic.
