post a commentYou are not missing anything. You are just incredibly slow on the uptake. Ford has owned Jaguar since 1989 and their vehicles have been slowly morphing into each other ever since. Compare the large Jaguar sedans with Lincoln sedans. You will find the same convergence as with the vehicles you show. (As an aside, have you noticed how the paint schemes on DC Metrobuses and on DC police cars have become more similar over the years? I wonder where that is going.)
If you decrease the utility of a rather practical Taurus by removing two of its doors, you can begin to charge more for it. Its a basic marketing principle that has long been applied to clothing- less practical=more expensive.
