Our Lucerne soldiers on and will since there is just about nothing in the field with a V8 to replace it; not without going to some very expensive luxury class. Around here those just become targets for jealousy, hate, rage and insurance, no sale. Besides, you have to go 100 miles for service.
I can easily imagine the door bashes to my new A8 if I were foolish enough to buy one. There are some pickups around here that make Maynard the tow truck look really really good. The drivers of them are equal to their vehicles for attitude.
I only mention A8 because that is the closest thing to a full size sedan available that I know of other than the Chrysler gangster car. I don’t count Kia, Genesis, chevrolet and such.
Yeah, you might want to look at the Genesis lineup, which absolutely are full size cars. There’s also the Chevy Impala, which is one - just not very good.
The V8 is less of a thing now because there are turbo V6s out there that beat V8s in every metric - in fact, the most powerful engine you can get in the F-150 is the EcoBoost 3.5L turbo V6, not the 5.0L V8.
