Ford to rename the Lincoln brand?

[mallory]

I dunno. I think they did a pretty nice job with the new MKZ

No offense, and I truly respect your opinion, but beauty must be in the eye of the beholder because for me, that car is ugly. The front grills on all of their cars are way outdated, and for this new MKZ, they're doing the same thing as they did with the MKT [[T stands for turd btw) with the supposed tail light crossing the whole rear of the car, but only a portion of it is actually a functioning light. DUMB!

I will give them credit for the LS. I thought it was a decent looking car, but since then, nothing that Lincoln has produced does anything for me. As another poster said, most of their vehicles are dressed up Ford's, and the Ford versions look better!

Cadillac did it right, and now they are some of the hottest looking products on the road today. My wife had a first generation CTS [[loved it), traded that for a second generation CTS [[loved it), when that lease was up she traded it for a CTS-V Coupe [[now THAT is a car), and is now thinking about getting the new ATS [[I drive the family beater). Lincoln? Never crossed our minds.

Lincoln should have stayed with the Town Car. At least police departments across America would have kept them in business.

I somehow don't think you know what the new MKZ looks like, but if you do, you are definitely in the minority. the new grill looks great, it's not the clunky thing that the previous version wore. And the taillights are full-width LEDs. [[see pic)


While I do think Caddy did the CTS right, it is looking seriously dated right now. It will probably get a familial update to mirror the ATS and its toned-down "art & science" language

I'll agree with this, as I think those CTS's are UGLY.

They need to fix the UI on their head units [[radios/GPS/etc) It's *awful* - and the main reason they are slipping in quality. I spent a weekend driving around with a few friends in an MKX and the GPS was nearly unusable. Short of punching in addresses directly, it couldn't find anything [[nearby gas stations, specific restaurants, etc...) The voice recognition worked about 20% of the time, even when we were parked and the cabin was dead quiet.

The built-in MP3 player was terrible as well - if you have more than a few dozen albums loaded it becomes very time consuming to find a specific song or record.
