It’s like a step back in … well I’m not sure, but it’s a step into something fascinating.

It’s good to see that someone is still making cars with good straight lines. The front end is quite reminiscent of 70s-era Mercedes sedans. I don’t like the “jellybean” phase that current autos have been going through for the past 6 years or so. Given the choice between a contemporary sedan with a round jellybean blob shape, and that ZIL, I’d take the ZIL. I like it.
