That sounds like a sales problem, not a product problem.

Because RWD offers such an advantage over FWD in this application. Right.

It's human nature. Everyone does it, no matter how hard they try to avoid it. There's even some people that play into it. We usually call them religious.

Now, my sales managers aren't the be-all-end-all of knowledge, especially on Lincolns, so this may not be 100% true, but I was told not a single one has been delivered to any of the 190-some (that number is both Ford, Lincoln, and Ford/Lincoln) dealerships in the Philadelphia sales region.

Ford dealers service Lincoln cars and vice-versa. There's no differentiation in the parts distribution.

Depends on your part of the country, but no dealers around here, including my own have received one as of yet.

Sorry, you're confusing Lincoln with Mercury. Lincolns, for the most part, use very different suspension setups, different interiors, and although they share engines (with different availibilities). Most of the time, it's a 20-30%ish share of parts.

That's because the MKZ has been delayed to dealerships across the country. We've been waiting on ours since November, and haven't seen any yet. Still no ETA, still no answer as to why they were delayed, and it's February. My guess? Handling a potential problem before it's a recall. Those 453 sales this month? I could

Impossible? Next time a manufacturer puts out a car like that, say the 2014 Corvette, or the next LFA/next GT500KR/next GT-R/etc, just go and try to buy the first one on the lot / in the state / in the country, or go try to find the last few 0-mile Boss 302s hiding out there.

I'm in the biz. Mitsu anymore is one step above Suzi.

List of cars my dad's owned:

Charger doesn't impress me as much as the Stang, though, as a driving car. I'm all about my 2 doors and 6 speeds, but then again I have no kids.

My dad's a gearhead, and he drives an ES350 (even softer, more disconnected Camry). It's called marriage.

I really don't know, but I see no reason they can't put a 180-hp VTEC Direct Injected 2.0 I4 in there at least. Or a turbo 1.6L. Looks like fun.

Integra B-18s are expensive to produce, and B18C Type-R variants are even more so. Probably won't happen because of the costs involved.

Why would this matter in a car?

The Crossblue and the Golf R share a platform, yet if you blindfolded someone and had them drive both, I don't think they'd make that confusion easily. Obviously, a $200,000 dedicated CF Monocoque sportscar won't share the chassis with something that can be bodied as a pickup, but on the same note, there's no reason

I was in love. I was sailing up the river of lust, wanting a special time alone with this specific 325i. Oh, the time we'd have together, tearing up some rubber, sitting under the stars.

Forte Koup too small for you? I'd love to see a version of the Optima as a coupe, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. They've teased the GT, basically a GenCoupe, but it's never been a serious production model.

I'll take the copper.
