[edit] Traditioanl American full-size dimensions

Whoe ever wrote this doesn't understand the tradional full-size American car. Until the advent of downsizing in the late 1970s a full-size "standard" had a minimum wheelbase of 119". A shorter wheelbase donted a mid-size ro compact car. A 110" wb would most certainly indicate a compact car.

Ture, there used to be a different definition in the US during the 1970s and earlier. The Town Car (The ultra-expensive Rolls-Royce and Maybach aside) is perhaps the only the modern car that comes close to being a "traditional full-size" (The L-Series is one). Today, however, cars that were once not considered full-size are full-size. Regards, Signature^brendel 22:24, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
