You would have to show some pics. The doors hinges on the new RX are different than most others.

With the Fusion on its way out, I do have to wonder about the MKZ.

It does make you wonder about the future of the MKZ with the much higher volume Fusion gone. Last year they sold 19,852 (-28%) MKZ or about 1,650 per month. It seems like the future may not be too bright.

There's no way MKZ goes on when Ford kills one of the best selling mid-size sedans in the country [Fusion].

A shame. With the Lacrosse gone, the MKZ would have been one of my first alternatives.

Here's hoping they'll always be a large soft sedan choice in the market. There shouldn't be a reason why we can't have at least one large Buick, Cadillac, and Lincoln sedan available.

The CT6 and Impala will be in production at least through end of this year. Unlike the Impala, though, the CT6's road manners are fairly stiff by the standards of this class.

I dont follow other manufacturers much but in the Toyota family, the Avalon will be next to go. I have seen maybe like 4 or 5 since its introduction and its monthly sales data isnt encouraging. On the Lexus front, GS, obviously.

Yes. I agree. Avalon will likely be gone. GS as well

I don't think the Avalon will go. Not because of the Avalon, but because of the ES. They're the same car now, so it costs almost nothing to keep the Avalon on the market. Would not take much sales volume at all to have it be profitable. The two of them combined are moving around 80k units/year, which is 12x what the GS does.

Avalon is super nice but I have barely seen any, and I feel they've been out a while. I think I've seen one ES.

It just depends on where you live. I've seen plenty of Avalons and new ESs. Look at the sales figures, the car are doing fine.
