I realize its a promo piece to get the dealers on board with selling a smaller car, but do they actually think that the Volare is a good handler because it has the same body roll as a Newport? Both cars in the handling part of the movie are in some serious need for much bigger sway bars, and saying that the Volare handles as well as a huge, undersprung, underdamped ocean liner sized 1975 Newport is not a real selling point in my mind.

Even my Fifth has a certain "stew like" quality when it comes to handling.
I guess they were trying to push that the F bodies were a "big car ride".

Definite emphasis on duplicating big car ride. Explains the rubber K member bushings to a large degree, as well as the iso-clamp for the rear axle.

Wasn't that in one of their ad campaigns?
Something like "Aspen....the mid size car with the big car ride"?

They call them Nova's all the time....
Here's proof it's not. :toothy6:
