Go Jap cars!
I honestly havent seen anything impressive come from the big US car makers for quite some time. 300C was the "best" thing to come over of late and its being outsold easily by aussie Fairlanes and Caprice (ironically owned by Ford and GM respectively)
What can you do though? Japan does it cheaper, better looking and better quality. Step up already Ford and GM.
The Datto will rage again...
Look to my brief feud with Matt on the New Chevy Malibu forum.

Matt got me on the improvements to Cadillac, and arguably the Lincoln LS (A rather boring-looking car sharing a platform with the Jag S Type.)

I prefer classic cars, but I do like the current Lincoln Town Car L series. This is the one which has a 6" longer wheelbase and a very roomy rear seat.I honestly havent seen anything impressive come from the big US car makers for quite some time. 300C was the "best" thing to come over of late and its being outsold easily by aussie Fairlanes and Caprice (ironically owned by Ford and GM respectively)
"Cheap" is right. Plastic is used on everything but the tires and those will probably be the next things to be plastic. Better looking? Well, I guess so, if you consider egg- or blob-shaped cars good looking! And you're right about better quality- the plastic is really great quality! Much better than the steel on my Cadillacs...What can you do though? Japan does it cheaper, better looking and better quality. Step up already Ford and GM.

Replace Fairlane with Statesman. Ford can hardly shift Fairlanes these days.Originally Posted by Blue Supra

US brands can make good engines when they put their mind to it, but cars...lol

C'mon... everything inside a Japanese car is plastic... the dash, the door panels, the console, etc.Originally Posted by clutch-monkey

Unfortunately, yes. Which is one of several reasons why I like '50s and '60s cars.Originally Posted by The_Canuck
