I have a 99 deVille and, yeah, I've had motor work done. What I like about it is adequate room for everyone (and I'm 6'4) and a quiet, comfortable ride that allows conversation and sounds at low levels. For me, that's what a Caddy or Lincoln should be, a luxury car for passengers. Yes, it should have a competent chassis. And yes I also like a Driver's car, but I'm not going to compromise either.
So, I dont care which wheels drive my deVille, or how many cylinders it has. What matters is room and refinement. That goes for Lincoln, too. And Chrysler.
FWIW, with Ford planning to drop all of its coupes and sedans except the Mustang, i suspect future Lincolns, if there are any, may be rwd, on a platform shared with a Mustang.
What does Cadillac need to do? Build a luxury car.
I wish GM had left real Driver's cars to Pontiac.
Which might've still been with us.
And in my garage, too.
