What is now considered the "standard" in the limousine biz?

[Joe771476]

Of course we know back before the 1980's that Cadillac had the lock on the biz. But during the 80's Cadillac lost their luster. In fact even Lincoln ads made fun of the fact you could barely tell the difference between a Buick, Olds or Caddy. Limo builders switched to Lincoln and the ubiquitous Town Car --just like it's counterpart Crown Vic in the police

segment -- became the new standard of luxury whether it was in Vegas or transporting high school grads to the prom. I don't see many Town Car limos anymore even though the owners held onto them as long as they could. Lincoln Navigators -- as well as other SUV makes --  and Lincoln MKT's appeared for a while but now it seems now that Hummers and truck chassis vehicles like the F650 are becoming the "standard." Anybody have any comments or observations they'd like to share?

I see Navigator and Escalade limos a lot

In L.A. for SUVs, it's definitely the Escalade. For sedans, I seem to see mostly the S-Class and 7 series. I've seen a few S90s, 5 series, and Model Ys.

Out here in the middle of nowhere, 30 miles north of Mexico the closest thing to a limo we have are the Border Patrol Transit Vans.
