in general I remember when "luxury" actually meant something.

"luxury" in the 80's and 90's was wood trimmed interiors, leather seats, straight body lines that were simple but elegant, and power everything inside.

today, luxury means really just a black version of whatever the base car it's based on is, but with a pretentious "modern" interior design, and as big an ipad as they can stick on the center console.

basically, just """modern""" interior design applied to cars.

when you look at the difference between the early 90's Town Car and the early 90's Crown Vic or Grand Marquis, you can see a clear difference.

the GM and CV were both rounded and following modern trends, (as well as both taking design cues from the taurus)

the Town Car meanwhile, was just an updated version of the 80's car. it was still boxy, but with softer edges it was "elegant". a concept which is lost on modern luxury car design.

American "luxury" cars are jokes

still a better luxury car than a modern lincoln, that's for sure.

I live next to a really well off community, and at least 2 houses have mint condition early 90's town cars. and they just look really nice. they look relatively classy with their straight bodylines. modern lincolns are awful, and the continental itself is so blatantly a rip off Jaguar it hurts.

not to mention how pigfat they are.

My boat's pretty comfy to drive, desu.

these things cant even be considered luxury theyre just tarted up shitboxes

this is a luxury car from that time period

the Continental is much of the same as the old Town Car

Mercury was pretty nice as the mid tier option.

not too luxury like the Town Car, but not basic peasant Crown vic either.

a comfy 'right in the middle" car.

performance is a luxury
