“I can’t really blame it for a poor showing. The program was only just starting, and died before it could get its footing.”

Today we’re lucky if a road version of a racing car or a racing version of a road car even have the same engine or drivetrain configuration. BMW is a great example, when it was racing a V8 Z4 with a rear-mounted transaxle. Maybe people would have actually paid attention to a road version like that.

Thank goodness he knows about the cyber though. Otherwise we’d be in real trouble.

“How little work can we do and still bill them a fucktonne of money?”

Annie put the black guy in a hat so we would know he’s articulate...

I’m confused. Roadtrip? I thought Lincolns were for going to and from the airport?

Looks like a bunch of pretentious, rich hipsters.

I don’t see understatement. I see cost cutting. The new Lincoln is a 2017 Granada.

Why oh why does Ford not understand what people want from this brand? We want the old school 60s Continental. Updated for modern standards, sure, but with that crisp line and full width grill, formal roofline and the suicide doors. We want style.

Here’s a “Camry dent” of marketing practices: If you see a “behind the scenes” of something - the actual product sucks. Try and find an exception. You see it in movies all the time.

One day they said “Hey let’s go drive where it’s gray and bleak and try to look cool while brooding” and everyone was like “Totally, we can look like we don’t care in all our…

Saw one of the new Lincolns in a parking lot a few days ago. Took the time to walk around it and study the styling. It just just does not look like a premium vehicle. It looks like a first, budget restrained, attempt to see if they really want to compete. I can’t see success here.

Admit it. Is Lincoln the one car company that we all desperately want to succeed but obviously now know it never will.

Annie Leibovitz is a very overrated photographer. Everything she does feels cool and disconnected from what the object is. I don’t understand the societal love.

Even Toyota does that part correctly in all of their misguided and fake-as-shit-looking ads where they show those two guys racing Camrys in Monaco.

Auto Marketing 101:

The tolerant, peaceful Left strike again.

“Aggressive” livery is triggering.

“Aggressive livery”?

Ahh, modern times. Every day a new reminder that I’m sharing this existence with a bunch of emotional children and/or fucking monsters.
