I blame Matthew Mcconaughey for Lincoln's demise. :laughing

Indeed they do. And they shouldn't. I love Audis but I'd have a BMW or Merc first. If I'm buying a luxury car, I don't want it to have a cheaper "brother".

BMW and Mercedes aren't sub-brands of a larger corporation, tho. So, of course they don't share platforms with other lower brands since there are none in relation to them.
 
So, VW, GM, Ford, Fiat, Toyota, Honda and Nissan should just 86 their luxury lines. Huh.

I guess that makes Bentley and Rolls Royce not really luxury brands either.

If it's putting lipstick on a pig...yes. I'm totally fine with that.

I don't think either of them share platforms but rather are just owned by another brand.
 
A lot of companies share components, though. :dunno

I'm talking about running gear being the same, frame being the same...basically the only differences are plastics and trim pieces. Maybe a few electronics here and there. Basically an overpriced cousin to a lower-level product.
 
Picture thread!!!

Do you really think anyone (read: enough to save the brand) would drop the coin for a new baller-status Continental, though?

People...about 50% livery use and 50% old people...buy the Cadillac XTS. That thing is grossly expensive even though it kinda sucks. So yeah, there's a market for a very upmarket Continental if they do it right.
