personally I love that car, I think it looks elegant, and the shocks are supposed to be loosely sprung it makes the ride soft and cushy. It’s not a sports car peeps. It’s Gangster

@james69bong mikeanbamgay was complaining about another persons grammar whilst there own was incorrect. I could not care less about grammar but I thought it was kinda funny

Well, it would help if the shocks were good. By the way, that’s a late 1980′s Lincoln – I doubt the presenter was capable of handling a 1970′s Continental.

@BlogShag Hahaha +1! Who’d like a Ford Fiesta or a Micra there, well unless you’d like, after 1000 miles of straight higways, blowing their little 4 cilinder engines up. I think it’s a matter of roads too. Big engines are slightly more required as they can cover more distance and constantly at a high speed, but no necessairly at high revs.
Ford Fiesta 5th gear, 65 mph… 3.000 maybe 3.500 revs.
Any V6 on earth, same speed… 500 lmao =)))
I may be wrong tho.

@ 0:54 I wonder if they would’ve minded to make the wheels square too. No, I guess they wouldn’t have bought it into lol.

Clarkson and co did an episode of Top Gear where they made fun of the crappy cars made by British Leyland in the 70s. It was a funny episode, and to be honest Leyland cars were probably a lot worse than this American car

But in all seriousness, that is one square car. All the aerodynamic properties of a washing machine.

@BlogShag yes absolutely true. Funny though, he doesn’t mention British cars of the 70′s were just as bad if not worse. The reason for that…….government involvement (hint, hint)!!

@MANTGA43062 , Yep you’re right about that. The first thing they do if they get an import Ford from USA is remove and replace the seat belt system. USA seat belt quality is subpar.

LOL! I laughed so hard at this video, ’cause it’s all true. I’m American by the way. 1. Part of the problem is the USA car companies have been sucked almost dry by the unions so they can’t make any profit on a small car. It costs them more to make a small car than what they are worth at suggested retail. 2. Their argument is too many Americans don’t want small cars. Have you seen the size of many Americans lately? They’re the size of whales.

I’ve driven and owned alot of Chryslers. It was part if my job, and I know that they’re just as well equipped, and designed well. The space inside them is much more than what you’d find in a renault., and even on standard cars you get alot of stuff.
