Poll May Switch ChoicesWelcome to This or That; Where I choose 2 vehicles (but probably can't afford) and you choose which one you'd rather have with the poll.
You can explain your choice below, or not.Last time we had a Tercel SR5 4WD up against a Probe GT. Most opted for the 4wd Toyota, 43 : 24
Doing a local one today with relatively cheap cars that grampa has finally given up driving with.
First up is a Gray Anthracite 1993 Infiniti J30. It has a Naturally Aspirated 3.0L [VG30DE] V6 Engine with 210hp, a 4-Speed Automatic and RWD. Inside is a Dark Gray and Crème Interior with Heated Leather Seats, Automatic Climate Control, Sunroof, and CD/Cassette Radio (not working).
Or would you like quintessential old man style?
It’s up against a Silver 1991 Lincoln Town Car Signature Series. It has a Naturally Aspirated 4.6L [Modular] V8 Engine with 210hp, a 4-Speed Automatic Transmission and RWD. Inside is a Red Interior with Velour Seats, Automatic Climate Control, Radio Cassette Player.

Have some vehicles you’d like to see in the poll? Send me a message! -
@exage03040 Red velour seats! A motor you can do a LOT with for cheap! And I bet the stereo works! Lincoln all the way!
-
@exage03040 4 speed cassette player for the win !
(wait, what ... ?)Tarted up Nissans suck, and the people driving them even more.

Let's not slam entire categories of people for their brand preferences.
On walkabout. Back soonish.

Lincoln! The J30 is memorable enough I didn't even know what it was until I looked at the picture.
-
@exage03040 I prefer the Towncar, which means it will ultimately lose this poll.
-
@exage03040 gimme the Town Car, baby!
-
@exage03040 I cannot believe these cars were made within 2 years of each other.

@exage03040 Town car for me. Every time I see a J30 I think of this one, which I remember was customized by a Pasadena college of design professor, or something like that. It was a blurb in Road & Track back then. For some reason it's listed in Pennsylvania, who knows why.

@exage03040 Strange things are afoot at the Circle K. Also, their shirts match the graphics.

neither?

@exage03040 Always loved the design of the J30.

@exage03040 The Town Car because the radio works.
-
@exage03040 anyone choosing the Lincoln had probably never driven a J30. Underrated car that is very comfortable, very reliable, faster and better handler than the Lincoln.

I like the red velour seats in the Lincoln. But the J30 is a much better car overall... particularly in terms of handling. Also there is a bigger novelty factor with the J30.
So I vote for the Infiniti.

Or they've never driven a Town Car or one of the other Ford Panther body cars... and experienced the crappy handling and mediocre stock brakes.

@exage03040 a friend of mine in highschool bought himself a J30t from commissions while working at RadioShack. Was really nice to my minivan driving self.

@exage03040
Infiniti. Because that driveline makes it just a step away from a transcontinental sleeper saloon. And a fairly bulletproof one at that. -
@manwich I grew up with Panthers, so I chose the Town Car out of nostalgia. I'd also have no expectation that a Town Car would "handle", I expect it to float.
The J30, while a much different car, resembles the Altima of the same era too much for me.

But underneath, it is nothing like an Altima though. It's actually related to the RWD Nissan Leopard.

@just-jeepin Nope sorry, Nissan drivers are the absolute worst on the road. It's a fact. Their rampant disregard of other's safety should always be called out as a warning for what to look out for. A Nissan sedan is always a red flag when I'm driving, and without fail, they always do something stupid. Then when they crash it, they buy a Charger.
