Was the 6000 really meant to compete against BMWs and Audis? Seems crazy.

Quote: Matatk wrote: A follow-up - you have to remember that 1983 wasn't exactly a great year for the less expensive 4-door Audis and BMWs. For Audi, the most reasonable competitor would have been the 5000S (the 4000 was much smaller than the 6000 STE), with a mere 100 bhp powering 2,624 pounds and a $14,355 base price. For BMW, the closest 4-door "competition" would have been the 528e - a much nicer car, to be sure, but with 121 bhp powering 2,953 pounds and a base price more than $10,000 greater. |

I'm not seeing as many Grand Nationals on the road as I used to. For some reason they always get a look from me. Great post as usual. |
