I like it

I would be ok with that too but this is Ford and I have a feeling they will prioritize the Mustang sedan and Lincoln will get nothing.

I still think a Lincoln sedan makes far more sense than a Mustang sedan

I see Navigator and Escalade limos a lot

Because they don't last forever the car is 20 years old. Mine has lived its whole life in FL and they needed to be done.

I remember when Ford was getting ready to bring the SHO back they actually had a bunch of the guys from the SHO group forums go to Detroit for a group interview on what they would want if Ford brought back the SHO. They gave all their feedback to Ford and when they were able to post about it the number 1 question was will there be a manual transmission.... not a single person at the focus group brought it up and Ford launched the new at the time Taurus SHO as automatic only. Would Ford have actually put a manual in? Who knows but the guys on the SHO forum were livid no one suggested it.

I was going to make the argument for number 2 with Vignale but I think Ford pulled the plug on that. I don't see any current models that have the Vignale trim available anymore (going on ford.co.uk). I thought Vignale was a soft and safe way for Ford to enter the luxury market in Europe without trying to launch Lincoln and losing a ton of money. Guess that didn't pan out either.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

One example I used was when I lived in RI I was on a recreation softball team and our uniforms didn't have pockets. I didn't want to carry my phone or my wallet so I locked everything into my Lincoln LS that I had at the time and when we were done playing all I had to do was punch my code in and get all my stuff.

I do, what a beautiful creature it was. A shame the real LS never got the 4.6 and got the 3.9 instead. I think the 4.6 would have done the LS a lot better than the 3.9 but I guess we will never know.

If Honda does buy Nissan what happens to Acura and Infiniti I can't see them keeping both brands. There would be a lot of overlap.

I have seen a few posts in car groups where people have done small tweaks to the design and made it look 100X better. I really think they are missing the mark here though. It really does feel like they are throwing their heritage away with the strange font hiding the leaping cat instead of proudly displaying it. I agree with others that the side view does look good with the long proportions but everything else about it is just flat out strange

Looks like Lincoln will crack 100k sales this year barring some anomaly this month. I hope they can use that momentum to give the brand something new soon they need it. 4 SUV/CUVs isn't enough.

I wonder if anyone has tried to swap an EB into a Panther. Bet it would be fun to see. I know when they were testing the Ford GT90 V12 they tested it in a Lincoln Town Car. That must have been insane to drive... a quad turbo V12 pushing out over 700 HP.

Borg was speculating this feature was gone from the new Nautilus and Navigator but I saw some pics recently someone posted in the "Everything Lincoln" group on facebook of a new Navigator at a dealership and the front door was open and you could see the keypad lit up. I really hope Ford never removes this feature it's a really nice backup to have.
