Why was the Imperial and New Yorker virtually the same in body
and features? Cadillac made itself completely different than the top of the line
for Buick, Pontiac, and Oldsmobile 98. Lincoln also like Cadillac stood alone
against any other Ford product and their other divisions. So again, if the
Imperial was to be recognized as a class unto itself it had to be different
than the other Models. I believe it fail to do so. Example of today- The
Imperial concept car of 2008 looks so similar to the 300
than why would you even look at the Imperial or get excited about it. Why
pay more for and Imperial when there is no real difference except for the price
tag! In my opinion the New Yorker/5th ave. sold more in the 90's because it
looked the same as the Imperial ,but was cheaper! A loaded 5th gave you just as
much as the Imperial- In fact , one can argue that the Interior on the 5th was
more luxurious than the Imperial. Help me understand The Chrysler mentality
on this matter -Regards -Anthony
