    If only Datsun's rehash of the "four door sports car" tagline didn't ring so hollow... a CVT, in a "sports car"?

    I am so glad the people at Cadillac have stated that they will not go full electric. There is just no market there.

    Let me ax you all a question: what is that old saying about being doomed to repeat history? Ford Motor Company is about to do just that. Have they no memory?

    I don't often agree with him when he talks smAk, but here, if I may translate, I believe he is advocating V8 engines in the less-than top-line trims. A silent 400 hp V8 engine, with its attendant torque and lower revving qualities, would be a most welcome addition in a car like the CTS and CT6... they kept the V8 engine when they downsized in the 80's and went FWD, it was important to do so... Lincoln even stuffed a V8 in their FWD Continental for a few years, let alone the big daddy Town Car, and that car enjoyed a fervent following with 210 hp in a 4.6L straight out of a police car/taxicab. There is nothing like the quiet authority of a V8 in a luxury car. There is so much to admire in Ford's plan to bring back the storied Continental nameplate. To hobble it with a FWD/AWD chassis and six cylinder engines is ensuring it will remain out of the top tier.

    A small Lincoln luxury car? Well, to paraphrase the title, "Lincoln's Primary Focusssss....."

    Put a muffler on it. Problem solved.

    This is good news. GM needs to step up or miss a golden opportunity.

    The CT6, even with its potentially wavy, problematic aluminum construction, is so far above the Continental in true and lasting luxury and prestige it is not even a contest.

    They're a bunch of romosexuals, don't listen to them.

    I need a spotter's guide. Which one is the MKX again? EDIT: nevermind, I reread the OP, it is the Edge clone. Got it!

    Ew, dude, so sorry.

    It's OK, Mustang fans, there is a permanent mark on the bench for you. Just remain seated.

    Stardate 112615, latest Lincoln Log entry: the starship has morphed... yet again. Ship and crew have come under friendly fire for the 20th time in 2 years. Everyone is demoralized. Our own allies do not recognize us... how to stop this insanity?

    These will be drifted, rolled over and abandoned @ shopping malls in Dubai. I'm not concerned.

    It has historically been a mistake to debut a "new look" (in Lincoln's case, flavor of the munt) on a junior model, ESPECIALLY with all that is riding on the impact the new Continental must make in the marketplace. That alone is a fail... it is like they are intentionally stealing their flagship sedan's thunder before it has a chance to sink or swim on its own merits.

    Like I said over to another forum, I am wondering when the camouflage comes off this mule, so we can see what it really looks like. It's not fair to judge it until then.

    This is probably the last time I see a few of you. I hope they're gentle when they stuff you, and they keep you well basted on your journey. We know you've given your all, and we appreciate it, always.

    Thed, I would not be able to survive what you have. I hope your beautiful new car gets repaired fully to your satisfaction as quickly as possible. Bummer, dude. It seems the C&G Curse has life. A good number of us have been there.

    A Rolls will always be a Rolls, a Bentley a Bentley, a Cadillac a Cadillac, a Benz a Benz, and a BMW a BMW... there is a permanence that shines through and shows true leadership. And then you have Lincoln. They haven't had anything cool since the '71 Mark III and Continental. They had a winning style back then, and it brought them success, but they never stuck with anything long enough to gain lasting relevance to people with money. They had something unique in the MKZ and they watered it down and made it derivative. BAD MOVE. Just the latest in decades of bad moves.
