RE: IML: read about and add 2 cents to the next generation imperial debate

["Nathan Blakesley" <blaik_79@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know that much about the reasons Chrysler stopped the Imp line to 
begin with, but I really like that concept car. Granted I fit more into a 
niche market, being an Imperial fan already, but I think it would be a good 
seller. Unfortunately, if they're making it with four buckets instead of a 
rear bench, that rules me out, because with three kids, I need every inch of 
backseat they can put in.

Some of the comments kind of hit on what made the Imperial struggle in the 
first place (middle place? last place?)  I was struck by the dude who said 
that for a few bucks added to the 300C you'd have the same thing.  It wasn't 
true back then (take my '65, it wasn't much at ALL like the '65 Chryslers 
except for the drivetrain) but it may be more true now, it obviously is 
sitting there on the 300 type platform.  I think that Caddy became the "go 
to" car for the well to do near-retiree back when, the lifelong goal so to 
speak, but Lincoln and Imperial didn't quite ever get to that default 
position.  I understand why Chrysler had to go to making it on the C 
platform for money reasons, yet they gave up some of the differentiation too 
(and yes I do like the later 60's and the '70's models, I just love the '65)
