Because Ford and Lincoln have always been one of the laziest rebadges for extra profit in the industry. The examples you list vastly improve on their base cars. Everyone else sees Lincoln for what it is, a tarted up Ford for too much money. They've really turned Lincoln into Mercury since they have not kept up with true luxury brands, so they're a luxury lite brand. Lexus has far more reliability and comfort which attracts buyers, Infiniti makes more aggressively styled and sporty sorts of cars, and Audi makes understated/subdued styling luxury cars that feel very business class but run the range from standard luxury like an A3/A4 to high performance with premium luxury features like the RS7. Lincoln offers none of that. It's the same motors and tech used in Ford for more money with different visuals. Gee, I wonder why anyone would ever not want a Lincoln? If you have no taste, don't get mad that everyone else does and doesn't share your thoughts on what a good car is.

I bought the 2015 MKZ in December 2014. I have no regrets, and the car is fantastic!! I opted for the 3.7 V6 and it has plenty of power to spare!!! I knew nothing about the Ford Fusion and the MKZ coming off the same platform. I had to do a comparison essay for my English Composition class, and I chose to compare the MKZ and the Cadillac ATS. The MKZ offered more leg room, head room, storage, larger engine, more power, more features, and a lower price. Afterwards, I decided to buy the MKZ, and I'm glad I did!!! No issues with anything, including the push-button transmission. I have never been a huge Ford fan, but this car really is worth the money and deserves good reviews. I'm just glad that there are very few of them in this area. Sort of makes them unique....

I would have failed you for poor information cause the ats comes with a larger more powerful engine that makes 335 hp and caddy's 2.0 engine is more powerful as well than lincolns. it's no surprise you get more leg room in the lincoln because the ats isn't a mid sized car like the MKZ. I think a fairer comparison would be the CTS which in my opinion is the better car...

I don't have any regrets with mine . I love the 4cyl it's a impressive power house . I like being able to pick sport mode driving mine being awd i push through any storm very safe car it's nice to know that when you hit the gas the car is going to respond. That it will I have never had a issue getting past anyone . Also I have to say that Lane assist is great when you do Interstate driving like me. It keeps the car in your lane and it slows down if a car comes up in front of you . if you want to change lanes however always use your blinker. If not the steering wheel will tell you you're about to leave your lane and if you're not used to it it can startle you. Good car

Actually the problem is not with the grille but the integration of the head lamps with the grille. Actually, the best part of the front end design is the grille with this car it looks like an eagle with open wings. The head lamps though They should be bigger and little bit more angular so that it should match the open wing bird design and the rear lamps.

These are great cars and nice to drive. I own a 3.7 and it is plenty fast. The 2.0 was OK but the V6 runs great with only 2 mpg less.

If the car doesn't offer Maybach luxury with Ferrari performance, they just have to scoff at it. The fuck are these morons expecting, the fucking car cost $30-$40,000. An automaker can only do so much and I have to say that this particular automaker did quite a bit. You definitely get your money's worth buying a 2013 Lincoln MKZ. Now these are even more affordable than ever. Picked mine up for under $24,000, and opted for the 3.7 liter 6 cylinder. Think it gets something like 260+ hp. More than enough power.

I'm honestly shocked Lincoln is still in business.

Debs husband says Lincoln's are a Ford with lipstick. However there are a lot of other car brands that share the same platform with some of their other models.

you have to think about the technology in the vehicle those things add up the weight to the car.

Also, that back end looks like the stole a Dodge Dart rear and made it to fit on there.

240hp from a 4 cylinder is pretty good.

That's a slow 60 time if it's the 300 HP version. My '03 Honda Accord hit 60 in 5.9 seconds one time. Normally it gets to 60 in 6-6.5 seconds. I could buy about 4 Accords for the price of the Lincoln. I love the way it looks inside, and the outside looks alright. I just think they should have given it about 400 bhp so the power can overcome the weight. That's probably why it took 7.7 seconds to 60. I've also read that it gets to 60 in 5.8, which is faster than my car, but with 300 bhp it should be more like 5.0 seconds.

And to make matters worse, at no angle is this a good looking car! Why is it that you can see a Benz or Bmw's face back for 30 or 40 years and see the relationship by the grille, yet this Lincoln has the split wing when older lincoln's had the Rolls Royce type grille?! Going against it's competition, I can see this car coming in last or next to last in practically every category! Hell, at least Cadillac had the sense to go with the Vette engine, why can't Lincoln go with the Mustang engine? Maybe just as GM let Oldsmobile, Pontiac and Saturn go, Ford should let Lincoln go to it's final resting place along with Mercury.
