We are to assume you are talking exclusively about family sedans?

FWIW...I have no problem with the Town Car, I'm sure they are good vehicles, I just wouldn't want one, don't like the style...

Last time I checked this was a free country, and if person wanted to buy a really fast four door sedan to scare themselves and three good friends, then they have every right to.
Who in the hell do you think you are, dictating what other people need anyway? You are begging to sound like some sort of bleeding heart, Government knows best, liberal ******. You probably hate firearms too.

The Roush Mustangs are MUCH nicer. A bit less power, but WAY more attention paid to the brakes and suspension, and as a result are faster in just about everything except a straight-line drag race.

Who needs 400 hp in a Cadillac, but it's completely logical and useful in a Mustang.
That whole blue oval thing again right?

The Roush Drag Pack as tested by MMFF came in at a tick over 80 grand.
Would I take both? You bet!

actually smiggs is right-ford SHOULD have a hot luxury performance sedan to attract buyers even though it is likely they would buy the lower perf model. buyers will NOT go for a car perceived to be an older persons car. i am 100% pro ford and especially like the town car but younger buyers want performance oriented cars like the cadillac instead. while i am on my soap box ford also needs some high quality low priced entry level cars that younger buyers can afford to develop ford brand loyalty as they are able to buy these more expensive cars be it performance or luxury.
