Lincoln needs a vehicle where the depreciation isn't so steep. You think Zephyr has any chance to outsell the CTS? But that is off the subject, which is the Mark--and how it indicates Lincoln's lack of direction. I fell in love with Lincolns when I was a kid. I'd like to buy one, but the last one where I truly liked (both performance and styling) was the Mark VII LSC. I drove the LS and liked it, but thought (like a lot of people apparently) that the look was too vanilla. Adopting a Lexus-Infinity genre (MKS) should help sales somewhat, but it won't turn Lincoln around. People used to notice a Lincoln. That's what I'd like to see again. |

The first sedan is coming sooner than expected, much MUCH sooner actually. Last minute details are still being worked out. Next vehicle debuts next year, as an 08 Model.

I never really looked at the Aurora but I personally like how the Mark S looks. I agree with most that the Conti Concept from a few years back would have been sweet. However this Marks S looks like a blend of Acura, Lexus and the backend looks a little like Volvo IMO. I happen to like all three kinds. I came very close to buying the Lexus GS in '99. Found the LS instead and loved every minute of that car. Laxman '00 LS owner Possible future Mark S owner

Ofcourse, that doesnt mean I will buy it since it may be out of my budget  . If someone can stick that interior in a lesser priced model, boy I will be the first lined up to buy one. The dash is awesome. Whoever designed it needs to get a pat on his back (or her back  ) That interior is a master piece and they shouldnt change that one bit (including that suede thingy)

In seaching the web, and reading all of the comments from the various automotive writers, it is difficult to find any positive comments about the Mark S look. It seems that most think Horbury said all of the right things at the introduction but the car didn't exactly live up to his comments. Glad I don't base buying decisions on what others think! It will be interesting to see what the other D3 sedan will look like. I am not sure how locked in it's look is at this point, but I wonder if it might take more cues from Lincolns of the past. It seems that designers within Ford thought the 2002 concept was "too retro." Yet, most of the press on that concept seemed very positive. Interesting times at Lincoln......

Replying to: buckwheat (Jan 15, 2006 11:00 am) The bottom line, though, is how many BUYERS feel the same way. Frankly, if styling was the only thing to get me into the showroom, I wouldn't have bought the LS, either. I found it attractive, but hardly a grand slam in the looks department. Of course, Lincoln needs to attract more buyers than just those who bought an LS. If the driving dynamics are as good as ANT says and the luxury and mechanical content of the concept is on the production version, I think many buyers will warm to the stying - assuming the price is in the $35-$40K range. For Lincoln's sake I hope the Mark S is not too little, too late.
