Looks like plastic. Is it real wood?

Gauges look very dated.

I personally prefer the DTS over a Town Car.

I've always been a fan of the DTS, I don't mind the Town Car either but it's always felt "boaty" to me, even the most recent ones. I'd like to drive a DTS though, i've never gotten to even ride in one.

The Town Car has one major advantage: the back seat. Nothing beats getting off a cramped coach flight and climbing into the back of a Panther car.

The Deville lost me after 84. I'd much rather have a Seville or STS.

was always intrigued by them but they wanted too much money IMO. at that price range, there were ALOT of competitors offering up a better package with more road presence than the dts could cough up. The DTS's interior was its highlight, nothing else though.
