I got so tired of "reliving" that war growing up in the Deep South.
 
Come to think of it, I did see lots more Cadillacs growing up than Lincolns.

that was quite surprising, at least to me...I only saw it for an instant, but a vehicle turned in front of me so I saw the side of the vehicle...it looked like a midsize SUV, looked to be new, but on the side it said "Town Car"...I am not joking...is there is new Town Car (just like the Taurus is new compared to the 2000 model I owned), or did some owner just stick letters on the side of his car?
 
It sorta looked like an Edge, but I really was not sure, but the "Town Car" on the left side was unmistakeable...

Lincoln is marketing the MKT as a replacement for the Town Car in fleet applications. The Town Car version moves the second row back and has expansive leg and luggage room:

Cadillac is trying to capitalize on the void left by the Town Car in the livery fleets.
 
"General Motors' luxury brand, which has long been in the chauffeur-car market but never had the success of Lincoln, has created a special fleet version of its new XTS sedan."

Looking at Lincoln's at the auto show, they are decent cars. However, I think their problem is that they are really more a Buick than a luxury car, yet they are priced the other way. I hope they can pull it off, but I'm not real optimistic about it's future unless future product really improves or pricing comes down. The new MKZ ws nice, but not $50K nice to me at least. For that money, their are better choices from the German's and Asians (and that's before resale value enters the equation).

Actually, it was Washington who uttered that line in the commercial.

Yes, and it is a Honda commercial. And it is make believe. How easily people take their political corners in a millisecond. There is lots of scholarly analysis available on the Civil War era. Opinions might be muted some by reading a bit of it. Meanwhile, this is a thread about Lincoln Motor Company and Ford's plans for it. I remind you all of the obvious in the hopes that we can avoid a lot of political sniping about history and to get back to cars.
