Default Re: Mercury full-sized muscle

I gotcha. All I was saying is that the XL-100 is as similar to a Galaxie XL as a Chevelle SS is to a Buick GS. No one would confuse the two. When every single body panel is different, they're different cars, even if they share the same chassis and a couple windows.

Splitting hairs, all cars have 4 wheels and a steering wheel, so nothing new. No wise cracks about the Tyrrell 6-wheeler in Formula 1. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img]

The XL-100 is a bizarre creation by Mercury, and like the Chrysler 300H, it's one of those that generates a lot of attention at car shows. They LOOK like a Musclecar, they have all the ingredients, but it's like seeing a Burger King triple bacon Whopper for the first time. You can't believe they made the thing, and you wonder who on earth would buy it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
