There's nothing wrong with the current range of Lincolns, Ford's America-centric ‘luxury' arm. But the problem is there's very little right with them either. Don't take that the wrong way. They are not badly made or unreliable. They are also not ugly or ill-proportioned.
But here's the real issue. Lincolns currently don't make you really feel anything at all. And in the luxury car space which is already packed with extraordinary cars from the likes of Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, BMW, Audi and Jaguar, that lack of emotion is a recipe for disappointment.
The current Lincoln line-up is largely comprised of models that are subtly sophisticated versions of existing Ford vehicles, as they have been for the past decade or more. The Lincoln Navigator, once the profit powerhouse of the whole Blue Oval, is still based on the ancient Ford Expedition. The MKX is lifted off the Ford Edge with some slightly tidier and more expensive clothes.
