We have Rolls-Royce and Bentley, but most of us aren't going to have enough money for one of those. There's nothing wrong with big, floaty cars being in the market. In fact, with modern adaptive suspensions, one could buy a car that has the ride and comfort of the older cars, combined with the greatly improved handling of the newer ones. The only problem is that a lot of automakers don't want to invest in the technology because of potentially high maintenance costs. Although, props to Lincoln for bringing it into the new MKS.

Very true that bigger doesn't always mean luxury. But remember, that most luxury sedans (even today) are significantly larger than regular commuter cars. Hell, the Rolls-Royce Phantom is just about as large as a 1970s Lincoln.
