Mullally really wanted to pull the plug on Lincoln, but the worldwide presence of the brand's name is keeping it alive.

The question is whether the Waterfall Grill is enough to keep these new warmed over Fords alive.

I'd love to see a REAL Lincoln created. Something world class, limited edition, rear wheel drive, better ride than anything else on earth. They'd probably go back to Tata Motors and ask for the Aston or Jag foundation to build an American Super Sports Luxe.

Suicide Doors, MOMA recognition of the design, egg crate grill, NO Continental Kit. That would be something. Otherwise we get an up-price, up-content Ford that is crushed on resale value as the market realizes that it is nothing but a gussied up Fusion/Taurus/Edge/Expedition.
