....Isn't it about time?

Strange how the Lincoln rep disputes the criticism that Lincoln has forsaken the luxury car for the luxury truck...and then admits that there are at least 2 new Lincoln trucks in the pipeline.

Nice Aviator concept.
Lincoln LT pickup based on F-150? Err, ok. It worked well the last time.

 

Wow, that "thing" at the top is horrendous. The Mark X at the bottom looks kind of cool, though. I wonder what the front looks like.

 

..the Aviator looks like a AMC Eagle AWD Wagon

 

Is Mark X based off the current Thunderbird? Proportions look very similar, even the C-pillar on the roof line.

What's the story with next-gen T-bird?

 

Sad, but true...

Kinda hard to tell anything about the Mark X since the roof is going up or down, but so far not too bad...

LT truck doesn't look too bad, actually... They have to try to do what ever they can to try to keep up with Caddy.

I'm sure this time around it will be better designed. Fixed tonneau cover, carpeted bed etc.? WTF were they thinking...

TS

 

that is the next gen t bird...they said it was going upscale..meaning the Mark X and no word on these living legends..the word is they are for limited runs..thats all?? yea right

but yea no t bird for a few years..

 

Mark LT is the best name they came up with?? Obviously more versatile then that lame duck Blackwood--it looks like it will be pretty pricey--and won't be as veratile as a Cadillac EXT, or as fast.

 

Wow.

A new F150 with a different grille,
A warmed over T-Bird,
and, like it's been said... an AMC Eagle wannabe....




I agree that Lincoln is in desperate need of some new product... but.... this certainly doesn't cut the mustard.

 

It sure doesn't. They realy need to have thier own vehicles to compete otherwise they will just be running to stand still.

 

They need to launch that Aviator concept all right.......right off a cliff...

 

No joke. File that one in Lincoln's recent large cabinet of WTF were they thinking.

Seems there's one pretty common denominator here. Lincoln is trying to get competitive again with minimal investment. Take your F-150, put a Lincoln grill and badges and a plusher interior on it and there's your luxury truck. Now take your dying T-Bird platform and use it to underpin a stylish yet apparently another soft halo roadster...and so it goes. Caddy put itself in a good position now because you have to spend money to make money. These products aren't convincing me that this is nothing more than another half-hearted attempt at Lincoln.

 

Damn I was thinking the same thing. Whenever I believe that they can not come out with an uglier vehicle one pops up.

 

anyone have better pics of the F150..I mean lincoln pickup?

 

Lincoln is in such sad shape.

 

The only thing that will make them ok is if they release a Supercharged RWD version of the LS
