Hi All!
Just got my October issue. They praised a German 4-door sedan with a
2.8 V6 that gets 20mpg combined, has a rear seat comfortable enough for
three six-footers, accellerates well but not spectacularly.
It has a large trunk that can swallow 5 pullman cases or a folded
wheelchair! 4 tie-down rings and a cargo net keep packages upright.
The ride is serene. Many adjustments of power seats and steering wheel
can help anyone find a comfortable driving postition. The leather
upholstery is supple and heating elements in the seats are a welcome
touch in cold weather.
Storage includes bins in the console and center arm rest, a large map
pocket on each door and a pouch on each front seatback.
Front and rear each have two map reading lights.
Naturally, there are antilock disk brakes all around.
In a sidebar, CI raved about such thoughtful touches that set this car
apart. For example, opening the door turns on a "puddle light" that
helps you avoid stepping into something messy at night.
Took them 11 years to discover the Scorpio? Nah, just the $43K Audi A6!
Cheers!

If only Ford had sent us the 4wd :-(
