    Should Ford Close Lincoln?

    If they use drivetrain and powertrain components from the Mustang it would save huge R&D $$$$$$ costs, so it seems to me that a two door personal luxury car based on the Mustang "Platform" ought to be a feasable idea, (Mark 9 anyone?) they could make sure the body style doesn't look like a...

    Holy recall notices!

    Now that you mention it, I don't know of anyone who had a malfunction (fire?) due to that speed control problem - also, when I took one of my Marks into a dealer for the fix, they stated they had seen no incidents regarding this problem, although they had installed the addition to the wiring...

    Should Ford Close Lincoln?

    If Lincoln can come create something that the average BMW or Mercedes owner (for example) would consider buying next time time they're ready to go car shopping, it would sure be great news for a lot of people. It can be done, I am convinced, after watching Cadillac re-do their product lineup...

    Should Ford Close Lincoln?

    There are so many tremendous products being offered by Lincoln's competitors these days, if anything, I am amazed that Lincoln managed to move the 37,000 units (in 5 months) last year. Lincoln's target demographic of affluent 50 something years-old buyers is only so large..and the sales figures...
