   i have to chime in with complete agreement.

   my situation is this -- i don't want to drive my 74 GTV for 4-5 months     of the year (upstate NY and all that.) a previous owner subjected it to
   entirely too much salt already, no need for any more of that.

   the 164 i just picked up will do just what i need for those 4+ months.
   i'll drive the GTV most days until November 1st, or until the first        major snowfall of the year (which ever comes first), and then 164 then    becomes my daily driver until it's safe for the GTV to come back out.

   it will work out quite nicely; the 164 is really quite a decent sedan      after all is said and done -- comfortable and fast.

   yes, i'd prefer it if they were RWD, but i think it a mistake to ignore    a bunch of really good cars over the point.
