Ghosts of Future Lincolns


Enjoyed a 2010 Lincoln MKT for the week. I am not much of a fan of crossovers but the MKT at least has some sense of design, I especially like its hearse like shape, so I would order one in black. I think a sedan delivery custom job is in order too.
The intelligent cruise control (shades of Packard's radar brakes) worked very well and was a definite driving aid not an intrusion like I feared.
The 365 HP Ecoboost (lame name for an engine) is as smooth and powerful as it is in the new SHO. I wish it ignited with a little more fire and brimstone when you compress the go pedal.
High marks from spouse who enjoyed the Sirius 80's channel and reliving her misspent musical youth.
So when can we have a true successor to the Mark VIII based on the Mustang platform, don't forget the opera windows and Continental hump.
