Why has america stopped producing land barges? The Germans are

They don't sell anymore. No one wants a big 4-door sedan when they can get a crossover or SUV instead and pretend they care about safety or visibility or space and not just having the tallest vehicle at JC Penny's.

>The Germans are on the work for this getting produced.

You're a fucking idiot if you think the production car will look like this and also with these dimensions.

calm down Ivan we still make them, we just ship them out to China since they're the only ones who buy them.

because they evolved into pickup trucks for baby boomers

>>17777377
Of course I'm not an illiterate faggot to believe that way. But they are going to make one looking very similar to that.

the f150 is what youd call a modern burger landbarge

>The X-Class will be based on the platform of the current NP300 Navara and will be built in the same plants such as Alaskan in Spain (Barcelona) and in Argentina (Cordoba)

X-class is suffering from:
>Inferior Plants in Alaskan and Cordoba
>limited, inflexible process
>limited items available

S-coupe looks exactly from its concept because it is built in the flexible, sophisticated plant in Germany.

wrangler needs to keep being a wrangler. although instead of a minivan v6 fiat should use a extra large 4 cylinder that vibrates like its falling apart because thatd fit into the wrangler formula so well and will last longer than some minivan engine. if i were fca, id sell a cherokee car truck, and rebadge a isuzu dmax and with a compass front end

people actually like the modern beta SUV jelly bean truck designs? opposed to the aesthetic masculine chad plow?

they have always made better work trucks. square body is infinitely more utilitarian. that's why firetrucks, ambulances, electric co trucks look like that. if it's not square body it's not a work truck.

>>17778142
but most ambulances are sprinter or express vans, the company I work for only has three mods and they mostly use them for ferrying fat fucks between hospitals

The work for trucks became more and more demanding as time went on. This is why they're as large is they are now, grandpa

>>17778513
Towing capacity doesn't require an obnoxious rounded body. You can have a solid frame, axles, suspension, and drive train in more humble body.

American manufacturers, mainly GM, learned that full size SUVs could be marketed to the land barge buying crowd as a powerful, comfortable boat. Why do you think the Escalade is suddenly the best selling Cadillac?

>>17777365
globalism.

>Why do you think the Escalade is suddenly the best selling Cadillac?
because niggers

same reason the chrysler 300 was so popular.

I want to buy an old Lincoln Continetal. How bad of an idea is this? Like the square ones that are xbox heug. I love the look of them and they seem comfy.

It's the current year but you're still buying German cars? Why not switch to a brand that is better and more reliable?

>>17780155
if you can afford the gas, not a bad one.
get a 71 Mark III or 72 Mark IV if you want maximum power, a Mark V if you want Xboxhuege
