I dunno...but I did see that somewhere long ago. Let me scour Google Images to find it.

I think the brand might be ready to turn around, now that Ford has built its base up. Early issues with the MKZ seem to be cleaned up, and the 2015 MKC looks to be a winner.

Was unfamiliar with the C...had to look it up:
2015 Lincoln MKC Priced From $33,995

I think it's a really good start. CUV's are the hot ticket, it shares next to nothing with the Escape, and I believe Ford knows who the customers will be.

There is still a ways to go with Lincoln. The MKT needs to be scrapped and the current MKX needs an overall redesign. The Lincoln Navigator is following the F-150's lead and going aluminum in a couple of years. Perhaps if things do turn around, the Aviator could return in some fashion.

I had an MKT and loved it with 2 little kids. But I'd heard they were going to bring back the Town Car on that chassis with suicide doors. That would be cool but ??

A far as new Lincoln cars, I believe the MKS is up first....going to China first before hitting this side of the pond in 2016 as a 2017 model. After that, I'm not too sure. I know they're thinking of a S550-based RWD or AWD LincStang. I would imagine that a flagship 'Continental' has got to be in the plans as well.

I hope they do better than Cadillac did with that cool looking but poorly constructed convertible they made...can't even remember what it was called. Or when Ford remade the t-bird.

Given their respective directions, that won't take much. Lincoln was knocking on deaths door (and still not in the clear yet) but I can see justification in their direction. Not so with Caddy.

Licoln needs to get the fuck away from front wheel drive for it's next model.
Enough already. MKS, MKZ, MKC, MKT, MKX. All FWD except the Navigator.
Yeah, I know available AWD, but the motor spins sideways through a transaxle that sends power to the rear as needed. All wrong.
Last good Lincoln was the LS.
A GREAT car that was given one update, then left to die. Which it did.

New Continental is finally coming out this Fall. Dealership dude said peeps are already inquiring about getting on a list. No suicide doors though - that sucks.
This is a car the Gipper would feel comfortable sticking his head out the window:

Nice! I can't wait for them to depreciate 50% in the next two years so I can get one for $25k with 20k mi.

The ecoboost 3.5 is a bad-ass engine. I still want to buy an old Mustang and drop one of those in thar one fine day.
