RE: IML: Imperial And New Yorker The Same?

["Rob P" <fristpenny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

One difference though, Chrysler was selling Imperials and New Yorkers in the 
SAME dealership.  There's a big difference between having them side by side 
or having to travel from an Olds or Buick dealer to a Caddie dealership.  I 
think they'd have a tougher time selling that little Lexus if they were 
selling Camrys side by side.
