The guages look like they're from a kitchen range and the wood is similar to the kind of wood you would see on a rolling pin or cutting board. Since we all know a women should be spending most of their time in the kitchen, these easily identifiable attributes should make it easier for a women to drive while talking on the cell phone.

Well they did bring back the grill, unfortunately they stuck it on the front of what used to be a decent looking truck.

Not really. An auto doesn't need a tach. It's a huge waste of space.

Lincoln seems to have gotten off on a huge tallight tangent.

Take regular sized taillights, quadruple the size and stick them on every model we sell.

The ones on the Zephyr are even worse than the Navigator ones.

Sure they do. Because you may not take advantage of having a tach in an automatic does not make it a "huge wase of space."

The people buying those have no idea what style is about.... they just want HUGE wheel wells to stick goddamn 33" rims up in them. The big chrome grill is also a neccessity.

Eh it looks alright.

But I thought these new models, just as "MKZ", were pronounced "Mark Z", however in the new commecials they actually say "M-K-Z". So much for Motor Trend and every other source I read.
