| Re: I sat in the Lincoln MKS yesterday I know very little about Town Cars. I have ridden in a few and have driven some several years back. They obviously are useful and favored by the livery services and those that are in need of a driver to make business appointments in NY, LA and D.C. There definitely is a need for such a car, but private, non-commercial ownership seems to be dwindling as the true anti-boomer generation dies off. Cadillac had their executive "special" sedan a fews years back but it didn't seem to go anywhere. And Cadillac has no presence among "Head of State" transportation ......... except for our own President ( and he damned well ought to drive American!) ...... although being familiar with many of D.C.s better residential neighborhoods, I'd say the rest of his regime prefers German makes.
It will be interesting to see whether the Queen and her government stay with Jaguars now that they will be an Indian make.
Somebody's got to make a car suitable for chauferred travel that doesn't cost over a hundred grand when armoring is not required! |
