Agreed. But one can get an SUV that offers the same passenger/luggage space with a smooth ride. MKT immediately comes to mind. Even a loaded Explorer or Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon would fit that bill in my opinion. Sure, they're not sedans, but they handle like the Town Boat, err Car, and have plenty of space and amenities to match the outdated large sedans.

Fully agree with this! Since it has "premium features", I'd put it in the Premium Class, with the Taurus Limited. However, I would not say that it's full size, as it's definitely cramped.

Probably will see some at Avis. They have a history of getting newly released GMs. They can put a lot into service at once and gain street visibility to attract potential buyers to showrooms. However, with Avis going the way of non-"domestic" manufacturers for higher level cars (BMW, Infiniti, Hyundai, etc.), I don't think they will be as prevalent as the Town Car/DTS once were in rental fleets.
