2015 Lincoln MKC

Comments:

---"Forget the Continental-like, rear-drive artillery pieces for mafiosos that we all think Lincoln Motor Company should be building. They aren’t happening anytime soon, and neither are expensive, brand-exclusive platforms, à la Cadillac."

To paraphrase Yoda from the Empire Strikes Back:

That Lincoln, is why you fail.

---"Vinyl surfaces are standard"

The Germans can get away with this, because most people don't know that they do it. American brands absolutely should not offer vinyl because it is incredibly tacky and low rent. And Lincoln has something to prove to the marketplace, while the Germans don't as much.

Other than that, this is a really good looking small SUV.

Many people here are clamoring for Ford new-but-not-for-North America Ranger, and I'd like to add my voice to that - especially if they Federalize the world-market Ranger's diesel.

But Ford won't bring it for fear that it will cannibalize F-150 sales, which is, of course, a very real possibility.

So here's my solution: alter the styling somewhat to make the Ranger a little more masculine (and more like the F-150) and change it's name to F-100, and presto! problem solved. Ford could count ALL their pick-up sales as "F-Series", and the market would get a greater selection of trucks from Ford.

Now that's what I call a win/win situation.
