Lincolns will be on the D6 platform beginning in 2019, independent from Ford

Starting with the navigator, the switches and buttons are different from other Fords

But le Ford xdddddd

>>17069119
honestly
if I want a new floaty landbarge cruiser right now?
I would probably go with a lincoln continental

More like American auto makers desperately trying to reclaim the prestige they had decades ago but still refuse to let go of the practices that led them to lose their prestige.

>>17069132
>D6 platform

Millions of dollars developing a FWD / AWD platform. For what purpose? So they can say lincolns arent parts bin cars?

>>17069119
>Americans
You mean old people? No one under the age of 50 is buying Lincolns.

>>17069132
well to give Ford little credit... at least they've become self aware on how Lincolns are literal rebadged top of the line Ford cars. Guess they are trying to differentiate them both... in a very mediocre way.

For what purpose? So they can say that Audis arent parts bin cars?

>>17069140
I'm glad Lincoln is giving a middle finger to performance luxury. The world needs more comfy luxo barge cruisers.

>>17069119

For the MKZ, yeah

The Continental and everything else feel extremely premium
The mkc which is a cheap x1 class SUV has tons of stitched leather
I sat in the Continental and the S class at the auto show, Continental was more comfy

>>17069186
I don't understand this
isn't the world decided by "normies" and us car enthusiasts are 1% of the market that are catered to by rwd niche cars

but somehow these got conflated with BMW base models and "sports luxury" became a thing

if you can afford an 80k "sports luxury" car you can afford a 40k sports car and a 40k luxury car that can do both far better

>>17069196
Audi isn't rebagded.

>>17069228
Most Audis don't share the same platforms with VW, however everything down to the steering wheel and buttons and architecture is the same

>>17069228
yeah they are rebadged VWs

How can Ford compete?

>>17069247
I have never been more unimpressed by an interior than test driving a lexus

>>17069255
>your opinion matters
Cool, bro

>>17069279
and yours does?

>>17069292
Look at Lexus and Lincoln sales numbers then come back, dummy.

>when people pay more for a rebadged VW

>>17069302
>sales numbers = interior quality

>>17069302
bugatti sells WAY less cars than lexus
therefore lexus makes better cars

>>17069325
Yes.
>>17069335
Bugatti doesn't compete directly with Lexus.

>>17069348
thank you for invalidating your opinions for us

>>17069348
>sales numbers = interior quality
>>17069325 (You)
>Yes.

so then BMW and Merc make higher quality interiors than Lexus

but Lexus is better than
Alfa
Audi
Bently
Buick (by a margin)
Cadillac
Infinity
Jaguar
Land Rover
Lincoln
Maserati
Porsche

>>17069424
>no arguments
>>17069461
Yea, that makes sense.

>>17069479
the F150 platinum is the bets luxury car ever made

>>17069520
>made in mexico
>bets luxury car ever made
uh huh sure

>>17069163
This.

Just like no one over the age of 21 buys understeer BMW that pumps fake engine nosies into the cabin through speakers.

There are age cut offs for retardation.
