THE BAD 8 v3.0 – PART VII

LINCOLN TOWN CAR



Top 3 Reasons For Avoiding: Cars should be sized like cars, not yachts. The interior’s supposed luxury environment looks like it’s straight out of 1989. If every old taxi driver at the airport drives one, you shouldn’t.

Alternatives: Hyundai Genesis, a new toupee, Buick Enclave

Base USD Price: $46,525

Ideal Owner: 89-year old widower who stares straight ahead when reversing out of the parking lot at Del Boca Vista. Poor fella’.

Necessary Incentivizing B4 Purchase: Buy 1 Lincoln Town Car, receive 1 free Ford Focus RS from Europe with SVA included.
