On The Road In 1994 past couple of y ears have been ex- years citing for people who just like to look at cars. The dolphinesque look goes on and on to a point where it looks as though automakers are forbidden by law to produce a pleated corner or a right an- gle. The trend toward retro stopped being subtle when Chrysler brought it out of the closet two years ago with the Cobra-on-steroids Viper, and now everything from Pontiacs to Toyotas looks like they want to be 1949 Buicks when they grow up. So what's going on in the coming year? Here is a pre- view. Chevrolet Caprice wagon (eas- ily the biggest available) even offers wood-grain panels! THE WORLD CAR Remember that slogan? We're still trying too figure out why we're all supposed to be ex- cited about the concept of a car you can sell anywhere on Earth; I'm not planning to sell mine in Paris. But, oh well. T ast time Ford got hooked on the idea, we ended up with the Escort and a lot of Merkurs you could pick up really cheap. This time it's something called the Mondeo. The Mondeo is already being marketed in Europe in three different versions: as sedan, a hatchback and a wagon.

Source: 1993 Simmons-Jewish News Study Chrysler 1994 LHS STATION WAGONS Yes, station wagons. Crip- pled years ago by their poor fuel mileage, the suburban leviathans were declared dead forever with the advent of the minivan. But lo and behold, the reports were a bit premature. Several American wagons have been sneaking into the marketing niche between mini- vans and sedans over the past several years. The nation's tolerance for hatchbacks seems to be final- ly fading, but with it rises a market among families who don't want a panel van in the driveway but still need some- thing that can haul two kids and a lawn mower. Small, trim wagons are just the ticket. Toyota got into the act re- cently with a couple of Camry wagons, and, of course, there's the ever-ever-ubiquitous Ford Taurus but GM is probably the master of this particular genre. They've got a wagon for every size and wallet. For those who like to live in the past, the launch sometime in mid-1994 as a four-wheel-drive four-door with a standard 2.0L four-cylin- der and optional 2.5L V-6. In its design stages, Mondeo was supposed to be a replace- ment for the Tempo-Topaz, which have been around longer than the sun and stars. Some- how that didn't happen, and you can expect to see them sit- ting next to Tempos in show- rooms for the next couple of years at least. BIG CARS! FANCY CARS! The massive, floaty Conti- nentals and Town Cars are things of the past, but that doesn't mean you can't buy a car that says, "I'm a CEO." The big news for 1994 comes from Chrysler, with the next phase of its wonderful new LH line just for corporate execs — the LHS/new Yorker. LHS has the same wheel- base as LH, but is longer and plusher, and somehow man- ROAD page A26
