Nothing says "My grandfather died and left me his car" like a night out in the Mercury Grand Marquis. It's also tough to have fun when people keep mistaking your love machine for a taxi cab. The Grand Marquis is a real throw-back to the days of RWD body-on-frame sedans, but your date likely won't go out of his or her way to extol the virtues of the Mercury's floating, glassy ride.

 

I don't know, (in comparison) my wife then girlfriend loved my then 1983 Olds Delta 88 4 door, bench seat FTW.

While it may be near the bottom of that list...at least it adds a little spice to life...you could either jump in the back seat or just stay in the front. My 85 Regal was like that.

Funny there's no mention of the Town Car or Crown Vic.

I think the deciding factor of which cars are the worst for dating all depends on what you are planning on doing with your date. If you're going four wheeling, the GM is probably not the best, if you're going to dinner, there are better choices to pick your date up in, but if you're going out to do donuts in the parking lot or make out all night, well, the GM is a good choice. RWD, V8 power, lots of leg room, and if you're parked I can't imagine getting caught since the likelihood of a cop that would approach a parked GM with steamed up windows is quite rare, since, well, it's popular belief that only old people own them, I will leave it to you to put two and two together.

The status improves after the first couple dozen 6 cylinder Mustangs and Civic you waste at the stoplight wars.

In the 80's that back seat was my love shack. No complaints here.
