To put it lightly, the brand has struggled to find it's place in the automotive landscape. The vehicles from Ford's premium domestic division haven't had a coherent look since the early '80s. Several of its models, such as the LS and the Navigator, have sold well at times, but the absence of a Lincoln DNA hasn't helped. In 2006, North American Design chief Peter Horbury set about changing... Full article...

Power and Associates' influential annual survey of vehicle dependability, but several General Motors Corp. brands slipped in the rankings and all Chrysler LLC brands remained well below the industry average, led by a steep decline for Jeep.

Not all of this money is spent wisely. Ford Motor Co. revived its MK naming system for Lincoln. Is it "MK" or is it "Mark"? Perhaps Ford's MK Fields could clarify?

The latter adds nearly 25 more cubic feet of space behind the third-row seats. Either trim level is available in a two-wheel drive 4x2 or four-wheel drive 4x4 configuration.The Navigator is...

The brand has languished for decades as marketing chiefs and design heads have kept a revolving door spinning at redline. The four-pointed star that once stood for one of the premium American luxury car nameplates had been denigrated to little more than the top Ford trim level. Until now, Lincoln's lineup has been defined by the Paleolithic Town Car and a trio of reworked Ford trucks.Even though Cadillac's resurgence is far from perfect or complete, that brand has received more...

Though the officials of the company do not confirm this information, Ford does not have any plans for it after 2012. For several seasons Mercury has not been presented at any auto show which gives room to think the company wants this model to die. Actually at the last Detroit auto show Ford presented Lincoln and showed the MKT crossover concept and did not mention Mercury at all. The same happened when the pictures of the new Ford...
