Tp4 has never understood the coveting of cars, 99% of the time, people are driving to work, it's a slave-mobile. The carrier of a wasted life. To diminish one's own aspiration for the inane excess of others and societies. Don't be fooled by marketing.

you're describing cheap low end daily drivers lol
That's why I bought a '95 Chevy Impala SS. Yes, I commute with it sometimes. But damn it's a fun car out on the Interstate.
one of my fav cars... but I've only driven it in video games
It had a under 6500 miles on it when I bought it around twelve years ago. I'm now up to around 43k if memory serves.
It's basically the very last of the American full-size rear wheel drive car whose fundamental design dates back to the 1960s. In contrast Ford's Panther Platform (Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Towncar) was a clean-sheet design from 1979. It features a Chevy 350 with reverse-flow cooling (cools the heads first, then cools the jackets around the cylinders) multiport fuel injection, and a funky distributor that uses optical sensors to determine timing. It also features a transmission that is basically just an overdrive variant on the older 3-speed automatic that GM used for years and years.
The suspension and steering goes all of the way back to 1958. That suspension underpinned Monte Carlos, Malibus, El Caminos of the sixties, Firebirds, Camaros, Trans-Ams of the seventies, and then finally everything "full size" short of Cadillac from 1977 onwards, even going under RWD Cadillacs in the nineties.
Basically this car is the last model that gives one this driving experience. It's not a car to show off in the slaloms with, it's a big, heavy, smooth, comfortable cruiser with real power that will respond when you mash the gas and will absorb what the road throws at you.
