Lincoln wakes up!

[Joe Walsh]

It looks like Lincoln is finally waking up and realizing that all this 'MK' :bs: terminology is confusing, lame and abandons all those classic (and recognizable) Lincoln model names.

My Mom owns a Lincoln MK something that I have driven and worked on several times.....
and I couldn't even tell you what model it is.....I think its an MKS.

Great !!!! :2thumbs: I can't keep the damn things straight either. WTF is an MKC ??? Don't think that I ever heard about that one at all.

[Bad_S55]

Alright!! The cars they have now aren't bad, I like the Taurus counterpart MK-whatever, but the names are ridiculous. Lincoln isn't Cadillac, and should never have tried to be them.

[ctrlraven]

MKX - Ford Edge
MKZ - Ford Fusion
MKS - Ford Taurus
MKT - Ford Explorer/Flex
MKC - Ford Escape

[LSp8]

Thankfully this is a move in the right direction FINALLY!!! I hate the ridiculous naming convention that Lincoln currently has, trying to be all cute and fancy, garbage. My great grandfather is rolling in his grave with all the silliness going on with the Lincoln motor company. Now lets see if they can make some models that people WILL buy.

MKX - Ford Edge
MKZ - Ford Fusion
MKS - Ford Taurus
MKT - Ford Explorer/Flex
MKC - Ford Escape

OOPS!
You forgot the MKWTF.

[Mebot]

MKLMAO

Can't stop the signal

[ctrlraven]

OOPS!
You forgot the MKWTF.
No I didn't, that's only a concept right now, not an actual production model.

[LSp8]

MKX - Ford Edge
MKZ - Ford Fusion
MKS - Ford Taurus
MKT - Ford Explorer/Flex
MKC - Ford Escape

All of this MK foolishness:puke:

The all new Fiesta based ecoboost 2 cylinder MKSMDH is being released too alongside its MKSTFU wagon variant.

My bad....hope I didn't 'let the cat out of the bag' on Lincoln's latest MK series car!

LMAO!

Lincoln thought that the MKKK would only appeal to white supremacists and dropped the model.

The wagon variant will be called the Lincoln MDTF. Great for drinking parties, frat boys, drive to the sports bar, etc. lol

[Ms. Denmark]

Hey Man- as the proud new owner of an MKX.... I mean " Y" ....make that a " Z"... well any way it's definately a Lincoln...I think...:confused: anyway, feeling pretty disrespected right now. If you're not smart enough to keep all the letters straight you have no business owning one ...whatever it is. Get a DART...or a MARAUDER or maybe a RAPTOR. Any idiot can remember those names. JMHO :beatnik: J/K

BTW at Carlisle you'll find me and my alphabet car over with LINCOLN-LETTERS OF DISTINCTION. :D

[88LTDCV351]

Where are all the MKT Towncars? Did Ford sell any?

[Joe Walsh]

I'm not knocking the cars function or design....just the MK crap.

Lincolns are selling about as well as the Mercury cars did....:depress:

Pretty soon the FLM will be just F.

They will have to hit the Chinese market on the nose to succeed.

Buick did it, maybe Lincoln can.

[Shermanator]

Ms. Denmark's the only post here worth readiing, its a good laugher, yes mam

[chief455]

in seriousness - which ones are good 6cyl ecoboost cars?
I think I've seen an MKS with AWD and 6cyl ecoboost = fast car!
what models option this?

[RF Overlord]

Now lets see if they can make some models that people WILL buy.First they have to stop making them so damn ugly. When it's hard to tell a Lincoln MKC from a Nissan Murano, I stop looking.

Hey! There you go again. You're the second person whose had the ****s to tell me my new car is ugly.....:depress: Oh wait... I think mine has an "X" in it not a "C". Nevermind!

Hey Sherm, good to hear from you!!

[Mr. Man]

The Continental is going to replace the Taurus Lincoln, or so says the article. Hope its not based on the mid-sized chassis Lincoln uses, I don't care if they call it full sized it's not unless your Billy Barty. Continental needs to be big, RWD, luxurious and V8 powered.

Letter soup name calling is just lazy, whatever brand, other than Jag. Glad it's going away, it was stupid to begin with.

I heard that it was an all male design team that created the Probe.

They will have to call it something else. Can't pronounce Lincoln in China but they can say Buick!!

Consonant's are your friend :bandit:
