    Default "What were they thinking?" Luxury vehicles

    I saw a couple luxury vehicles on the drive home today that made me think "What the hell were they thinking?" Anyone have any others make you scratch your head?

    The Lincoln Blackwood. There are a thousand reasons why this was a bad idea, but the silver stripes around the bed? Made me want to puke!

    The thing that always bothers me about the Blackwood are the stick-on reflectors on the tailgate next to the stoplamps. Cheesy...

    They figured it was a worthy replacement for the Cimarron!

    Still can't figure out how the Opel formula now works for Saturn!

    But the 'Lac is back I may get a CTS when the lease ends on the 4Runner!

    Yea.. the CTS are pretty sweet. A good friend of mine is a tech at a Caddy dealership and can't say enough about the CTS-V.. that's one hella fast sedan.
