  Isn't it a shame.  Owned three Oldsmobiles, gone and  4 Mercuries.  Everyone a great car.  Fast and beautiful.

  But the days of sedans are over.  To low and too hard to get in.  My wife own a little Ford Escape, great mileage and can park it any where and easy to get into.  Then my big truck.  Ford F250 Super Duty, crew cab with a V - 10.  Pull  your house down the road at 80 miles per hour.  Inside as nice as any car.  Gas, now that's another thing.
