    You've honestly never heard of the DeTomaso Pantera!? Do a search, you'll find plenty of info...

    I screwed up the link. On that link, go to the left of the page that says "Cars" and click on "Tomorrow". You get a few pics of a sexy concept. Cant find it, Ill screenshot.

    Yeah I discovered the Pantera in Classic Adelaide, and its the one I have the pic of.
    Oh screw it, here is the pic. I love it.
    No, the pic is 'invalid'.
    EDIT:
    Fixed it.

    I'm not 100% sure, but I think that Concept was to be the "next" Pantera.

    DeTomaso is old and have been out of the scene for a long time. They had quite a few problems and many were sold through Lincoln dealerships.

    Looks like a nice car. The back especially.

    Uh, that's not at all possible since the Navigator is getting a bigger model next year with the Explorer.

    Saturn and Lincoln especially are both marketed as being relatively luxurious

    They've greatly improved over the years, the Vue taking in numerous excellent write-ups, and the Ion Redline has been praised for being one hell of a small sports car.
