Porsche’s 928 was the factory’s attempt to replace the 911; obviously that ploy didn’t work, but the 911’s persistence does not subtract from what is a bona fide luxury grand tourer. The saga began in the early 1970s. America… more»

Faded Luxury: 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue

A person can’t get much for $3,800 anymore, especially as far as nice, drivable luxury cars go. Or even iffy, somewhat beater vehicles go, really. We all remember when $3,800 would buy a lot more than it does now,… more»
