    I can't decide if it looks more Korean or Japanese.

    The answer is modular, insert style batteries. Anyone familiar with industrial warehouses knows of battery exchange in forklift fleets. The driver with an empty battery dives to the battery's Tatiana. He leaves for a pee and when he returns in 3 minutes the battery has been replaced with a fresh, charged cell. Another example is the "exchange a tank" where you pick up full propane tanks and drop off your empty. So imagine owning the car, but renting the battery.

    That same dumb luck kept Ford from bankruptcy

    Ram and Jeep sales have surged under Italian ownership. I don't think any future German ownership would be detrimental to Ford.

    LincolnLincoln will soon be redundant to the Audi and Porsche brands in the new corporate stable.

    Hardly a project requiring a skunk works

    Not much of an alliance, based on the press release. This is no different than Mazda selling rebadged Rangers, GM selling rebadged city vans or Mercedes selling rebadged Nissan pickups.

    Someone in the braintrust decided they are no longer automakers but a "transportation solutions provider". Buzzword BS straight out of MBA schools.

    Desperation move.

    Maybe the family is getting ready to cash out.

    No doubt tied to the VW announcement.

    At least you don't need to lift the cab to service the turbo...

    See Chevy SSR...

    About the same amount that screw up headlight replacements where the grill is removed. Better question is how many will just not replace the filter.

    And GM promising competitive vehicles. But not as long as Cadillac promising to make money.

    I'd suggest Tom Ford. Then we'd have the Ford Lincoln by Ford.
  17. J-150
    Meh.

    Maybe Sergio wasn't bad for Chrysler after all.

    The Emperor's car.

    Unifor isn't going to like the Equinox sales. It flies in the face of their argument that GM is shutting down all Canadian assembly plants.

    Those push pins will probably need replacing at every oil change.

    And carbs, bench seats, wood panelling, etc

    Peter Schreyer worked at VW too. Now he gives us those gawd awful Hyundai/Kia designs. And of course who can forget J Mays when referencing VW. Mr. 500 himself.

    Lincoln buyers and potential buyers aren't watching. So they really don't matter.

    The problem with designer names is finding one that truly evokes what Lincoln wants to be. Bill Blass made no sense to me. A Lincoln Mark VIII LSC with the name of the designer that clothed Barbara Bush in granny dresses was not an appropriate match. Eddie Bauer Bronco. King Ranch F150. These made sense. Hell, even the Levi's Gremlin was on point for the target.
