Yeah, it isn't exactly the most appealing limo in the world. In fact Dundee's kid comments on how bizarre it looks. |

Well, couldn't you say the same about ANY limo? ![]() After all, the entire purpose of a limo is to be a status symbol, and it can be argued only arrogant people want status symbols. |

well, in the last years limos became more and more ugly in my opinion, some years ago a 'limo' really meant a limousine, like the Lincoln Town Car, but today you see a lot of stretched 'SUVs' (which are basically jeeps in my opinion), I think a sedan is much more fitting to be a limo than any jeep-related vehicle. |

Whatever happened to the stretched limousine?!? ![]() It all started out in the early 1920s, when they were primarily meant as sedan-based people movers, airport buses or later funeral follow cars. Famous coachbuilders like Armbruster & Company or Flxible were the first ones to build them. IMHO the idea was great and generated a very attractive field of automotive coachbuilding - just until that whole party-limo-/ V.I.P.-thing started, which ruined the reputation of the stretched limousines and downgraded them to poser-accessories. |

Well if you notice, "respectable" people still use the regular Town Car limousine or other such "normal" models. Businessmen, politicians, etc. It's usually less important people, such as those who are actually widely seen or who want attention, that use these types of limos (Hummers, Navigators, etc). So I don't think that the reputation of limos has been downgraded. In my opinion, there are simply two classes now. The old-fashioned limos and these newer "poser-mobiles" as some of you may call them. |
