Replying to: jeyhoe (Jul 05, 2007 3:10 pm) Oh, and if u want bluetooth and that kind of luxury stuff, look at an expensive luxury car like say a Nissan Altima, which has as much tech as any Lincoln. True - however, none of it works properly in the Nissan, and the quality is poor.... Nissans ain't what they used to be before Renault bought 'em. And your attitude! Really

Among manufacturers, Nissan came in NINETEENTH! in the 2007 JD Powers IQS (Inital Quality Study). Lincoln came in Third. 19th is lower than Chevy, Buick, even Kia and Hyundai! Mark. Replies to this message: nvbanker (Jul 15, 2007 2:33 pm)

Replying to: mschmal (Jul 10, 2007 11:49 am) Exactly - and their long term track record has been horrendous lately as well. Power trains going out in the 70,000 mile range.... Though I love the style, I have been avoiding Nissans if possible.

Replying to: KarenS (Jul 26, 2007 11:16 am) A test report that hits all the right notes IMHO. The reviewer marks the Lincoln down against the competition in almost every category, as most other reviews have done. - Too heavy. (Heavier than Edge) - Too much lousy plastic inside. Interior inferior to most competition. - Satin-nickel == silver paint on black Ford switchgear. - Only D-L for transmission. Does not work well. - Same engine as Ford. (Slower than Edge) - Seats less comfortable than Edge. - Body roll. Oh and, Drum roll ..... The brakes S_CK. I quote "... it's a mystery that such braking performance ever made it out of the gates of the proving ground." My sentiments exactly. Great review.

Replying to: jeyhoe (Jul 26, 2007 11:55 am) A lot of that criticism is warranted, but I don't get the interior comments. IMO, that is a beautiful interior, with excellent grade leather and plastics. It rivals my Lexus in interior feel quality.... Other than instrumentation, the interior is what would sell me on the car.
