FWIW, when it came out, and for some years after, we were all talking 
about "Motorola's (new) 16-bit micro", and when I attended a later 
ComputerSci course on 68000 architecture and programming in the 1990s 
the family was still treated as 16-bit until the 68020.  The first THREE 
implementations are 16-bit as far as I'm concerned.
