Review written on 5/1958.
Gordon-Brull just released a new Luxury Sedan called the Senator. We've been waiting to see this vehicle in person. And now that we have, we can make our opinions known. Is it truly better than the class leader? The everyone else. Or is even the lowly Balm better than it? Read to find out more!
It has been a long time since I've driven a Luxury Sedan that performed as well. I really hoped that the Gordon-Brull Senator would fix the performance funk we've had lately. Much to my chagrin, the Senator did great! The 215 hp @ 5475RPMs 4057 cc Wankel  engine was able to launch the car. Getting out of the car I had to pop my neck. While there are faster Luxury Sedan the Senator does better than most. On our speed tests we were able to get the Senator up to 112 mph and on the strip we did an impressive 14.864s 0 to 60 mph. With 165 lb-ft of torque, our smoking wheels were able to tow 22 lbs. While Gordon-Brull Senator will never become a track car, it is one of the better performers. On the track you can tell that the Gordon-Brull Senator is above average when it comes to handling and driveability. Most Luxury Sedan would not be able to keep up with the Senator on twisty and windy roads. It can almost put a smile on your face.
The strongest selling point of the Gordon-Brull Senator is its exceptional sense of luxury. Break out the Grey Poupon because the Senator is filled with niceties. The seats are so nice I never wanted to leave. In fact I'm writing this while sitting in the Senator.
Amazingly spacey the Gordon-Brull Senator can bost 39 cu-ft interior and cargo space. This vehicle is massive compared to most. It's one of our top choices when it comes to practicality.
The workmanship put into the Gordon-Brull Senator is unparalleled in this market. From its hand finished panelling to ultrahigh quality materials the Senator is truly a work of art that should last a life time. It seems Gordon-Brull has perfected the perfect.
Dog is said to be man's best friend. But that saying isn't true anymore. I propose the Gordon-Brull Senator is truly man's best friend. Not once in our long term testing did it need repair. This vehicle was built to last a life time. It is truly a wonder of the world. Centuries from now people will still probably be driving this thing, that's how rock solid it is.
The 20.4 mpg city and might not look great. And it isn't. But there are worst options out there. That is no excuse however. The Gordon-Brull Senator needs to squeeze out a little more mileage if it ever wants to be a contender.
You could really tell the engineers at Gordon-Brull designed the Senator to save lives. This vehicle not only reduces the risk of being killed in it, but reduces the risk of being killed from it. This vehicle should be looked at as a marvel of preventative engineering.
I was happy with the time I spent in the Gordon-Brull Senator. This car is truly magnificent. I think future generations will look back at this vehicle and think, "I wish I owned one of these." It is absolutely one of the best Luxury Sedan you can buy. An instant classic that others in the segment will be compared to. I wish I could spend more time with the Senator but it is time for them to take it away. I believe I might go buy one myself.
