Lincoln is the new Mercury.

Have you seen some of the design work on some of the Lincolns?

It's like they didn't care what came out of the end of the building.

I don't see Lincoln as being beneficial to Ford. They should drop that model, and replace it with something new and refreshing like an upscale model of the Fusion.

Lincoln is to F as Cadillac is to GM and should remain. Bring back upgraded Crown Vic as luxury car somewhat affordable. Note: I drive a silver 05 CrownVic and cops wave to me--never pull me over--great ride as well; big FI V8 gets 26-28 MPG on interstate trips on Reg (87octn. psuedo gas they sell these days)...about20-22MPG in city. What's not to like?

Just test drove the 2013 MKZ hybrid--it is a game changer. Details, fit finish--outstanding. I have ordered one.

Seeing that most of Ford's products are built as cheaply as possible, I would not consider anything they build luxury. I purchased a "luxury Lincoln " and my son burned alve in it, 9 months later Ford sent me a recall notice. Upon investigation , It was found that Ford knew from the fefects incepton, that it leaked and could cause fires, yet Ford pushed it through, with out a care for the safety of the consumer.
America deserves better.

Lincoln- what an awful logo! No character, innovation or perception of performance. Lincoln and Cadillac used to go head-to head-- along with the Imperial. Lincoln needs a total re-thinking. Luxury, innovation and a bold re-styling. Until this happens, the "Lincoln- Mercury" perception will kill the brand. Lincoln was known and loved as being a nicely appointed "boat". Attempts at selling technologically advanced performance fails--for the simple reason that the brand inspires neither. Get this right, Ford! Lincoln must have its own division.

We have a Fusion. A lot of people do.
As far as manufacturing an American luxury car, that is for you to
decide.
You might buy electric.
