It gained size to address that problem, not to add a third row. Cool side effect, there's now room for the Maverick to slot in below it. And a C2 Lincoln derived from the Maverick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizuce Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I think I want this to be my next car...but it really needs some power. Hoping they make some power upgrades to the 2.3 version. Especially if there's not going to be an Escape ST for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twin Turbo Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 That looks like it's going to be very handsome. Lincoln really have got their styling mojo back! Just wish they'd sell them in the UK (I know, I know, never going to happen ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old names are always better for at least people have heard of them and can help sales move along. Ford has been on a role resurrecting old names and I look forward to more coming back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well depending on the name, people don't exactly have a positive image of many of the old Ford nameplates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the Town Car not carried on so long with zero changes to the point where it was a true relic of the past (not to mention identical to the Crown Vic and Grand Marquis except for the badge on the hood) and driven primarily by septegenarians I might agree with you. The fact that it survived as long as it did ruined any name value it had. Now all people think about is airport shuttles and old people when the name Town Car is brought up.

ausrutherford Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Town car still lives on though with the MkT Town Car livery... Ford has been on a role bringing back old names: Custom, Courier, Aspire, Freestyle, Territory, Corsair, Continental, Aviator, Bronco, and Town Car. Now, likely Maverick as well. The only new nameplate Ford has brought out lately is the F-Max. I actually wish they would have names it the Thames instead. Thames being Ford UK's commercial brand back in the day.

I am mildly surprised that Lincoln doesn't restyle the nose with a Continental grille on it and drop the MKT....just call it Town Car.

That will be quite a line-up once the dust all settles a year or so from now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
