I still liked my two Mark VIII's.

My husband and myself have 5 of these cars and wouldn't trade them for anything. They handle so great and the ride is just unbelievable. We love to drive these cars.

That engineer's voice has been replaced by an actor.

I love the Bill Blass version than the LSC sports version. The Bill Blass has the Lincoln hood ordiment and electronic instrument panel, with wood trim and cloth seats as it is a real personal luxury car than a sports car.

...but ahead of its time

0-60 in 8.5 was considered fast in the 80's when American cars and their makers sucked donkey dick.

@boardskins M'kay. I still say its a case of different cars for different uses, plain and simple. Sports car- for racing/speeding, cruising car for cruising. Corvettes are for racing, Escorts are for...you get the idea. Even I know the '85 Mark is slow, though on road trips I pick ANY Mark hands down.

Lincoln always been higher quality than Dodge; though I do love Dodge trucks.

Its been fun ^.^

@markVIIchick I WAS comparing cars from the same era!! 1984 Daytona (you said no comparison, lighter car, ignoring obviously smaller displacement), 1985 Spirit against 1985 Mark.

Dependable? Yes. I see them still on the road after more than two decades. Don't remember the last time I saw a 1985 Mark on the road... maybe 1993???

I'm done.

@boardskins

Same rules applies to modern car ads, heaven knows the junk they make today; they'll say anything to get people to buy lol. Then again why compare a 20yr old outdated car with a newer car? In that case a Fiero can beat a Model T Ford, or a Corvette can beat a 1882 Peugeot. I.E. Pointless O.o If the buyer falls for the commercial, then so be it; its all about selling cars- despite how wrong the actual facts is.

Yay for Spirits? There are SO reliable right? I've seen lots (lol).

@markVIIchick Dodge SRT4 (even the Caliber version) does 0 to 60 in 5.4 seconds with a 1/4 mile time of 14.4 seconds @ 103 MPH (only 1 second slower than a Ford Mustang GT). Even the Dodge Spirit of the same year as the Mark in the vid (comparable weight) STILL out performs the Mark!

That's a 4 CYLINDER TURBO SPIRIT.

This ad, using a 0 to 50 time as a bragging point is simply a lame attempt to appeal to the ignorant car buyer.

@boardskins

And thus we see more super fast turbo 4 cyl Dodge's on the road today... right? I see them all over town beating the crap out of Challengers stock lol. Comparing a heavy highway cruiser to a little runabout is pointless. Might as well say a Chevette can beat a Lexus; ie pointless. Different cars for different purposes.
