Have you rode in one before? They're quite comfortable.

I talked to an airport shuttle driver about this. It's because the Lincoln Town Car was discontinued. There is no suitable replacement other than a Tahoe or Escalade.

There are replacements, but limos are about space and SUVs simply offer more of it.

all that fancy work and some shitty aftermarket head unit.

All those are garbage unibodies that have less rear seat room than the Town Car. The Town Car had an extended wheelbase version as well.

>DTS
went out of production around the same time the Town Car did.

>XTS
it could work, Cadillac already markets it as its primary livery vehicle. Not as big a taker as an SUV is though.

>MKZ
mid-size. Wouldn't do well replacing the big Town Car.

>MKS
Same story as the XTS, except its not Lincoln's primary livery vehicle and will be killed off shortly after the Continental arrives in showrooms.

You know what Lincoln advertised as its livery vehicle to replace the Town Car? The MKT. Not joking, they made limo versions, hearses, and even made a "Town Car" branded MKT. Maybe its because I live in West Florida, but I haven't seen any livery services at all use the MKT, and I barely see people drive them to begin with. It has to be Lincoln's worst selling model, even though it seems like it would be a big hit because of its status as a full-size crossover.

At least Lincoln looks like they're finally exiting what has to be one of the worst periods in the company's long history, as Ford finally cares about them again and is putting actual effort in rebuilding the brand's status.

Lincoln is still in the dark ages. The continental is a long wheelbase Taurus. Unibody, v6, transverse mounted, MacPherson struts.

There are a few of these as limos driving around Las Vegas.

I've heard the engine on the Continental is interesting. 3.0L twin turbo V6 capable of producing 400hp.

As for being AWD and Taurus body, at least its a step up from being a blatant-ass rebadged Taurus like the MKS is.
