    Thing is I can’t think of an actual “luxury” car on the American market short of Rolls Royce. Because everyone makes “luxury sports.” Like my dad’s Toyota Avalon that has way more horsepower than a front wheel drive full size sedan deserves.

    Give me a modern ‘78 El Dorado land yacht with quilted leather pillow seats that drives like a cumulus cloud across the summer sky. I like Rolls’ approach to horsepower: “Sufficient.” It has plenty of power to deliver Sir to his destination in extreme comfort and quiet.
