My grandfather had an IH dealership in the 50's.  He'd roll over in his grave if he knew about the new fangled conveniences on today's tractors & combines.  

In his day 'comfort' was a seat that WASN'T made of formed steel.  And 'convenience' was multiple forward gears.

Gotta love progress...

I am a contract driver in London for a Snow removal outfit and am going to be running a new Case 580 with all of the toys. Air/Stereo/PS./PB./ Air Ride Suspension/Tinted Glass/leather bucket seat/Ashtray and Chrome exhaust stack and Air Breather. This is classed as the luxury model in the line-up.

"So a Maybach that doesn't have a sunroof isn't a luxury car to you?"

Nope.

Well the sunroof might not be as important... its the A/C and leather which are.

So is a civic with leather and A/C luxury.
I would say yes.

This thread is getting pretty stupid.  It's no longer the "most smartest" anymore.  :-)

Civic, luxury??? Come on... geez... Why is it that people have so low expectations in their cars??? That's ridiculous.
