I hope you're not too disappointed. You must understand that Lincoln mentioned "younger, more female, more educated, with a higher income and living on a coast". They never mentioned "hot". I do find Debbie attractive in her own way, though.

Subaru has the top of that market cornered...

I suppose in marketing language this could be a guy who is in touch with his feminine side or a lesbian who enjoys cooking and decorating.

There's just something about Tim that makes me think he really wants and needs a good Hummer. Once he got that first Hummer who knows where it would take him.

Lincoln is aiming for a buyer who is younger, more female, more educated, with a higher income and living on a coast.

I don't know about the conversation, but that entire group of guys don't look like they have a tailor between them.

You can still do snark with the best of them, Ray! :) /enjoyed/

Ray, be honest, you're still in Detroit annoying your poor mother and eating all her food. Clean up after yourself.

I missed the word "marketing" in the title and thought it said the car was made out of "pure crap". I was expecting a new take on "green" with the car having been manufactured out of manure. Henry Ford made plastic out soybeans so it wasn't out of the realm of possibility.

We'll never know, but it seems they should have concentrated their efforts in one direction.

What, you can't search yourself?

These cars have always been purchased for towing, hauling and off-roading (much like 3/4 ton 4X4 diesel pickups) so I am sure the new engine will perform equally as well, if not better, in these situations.

I wonder what would have happened if they'd killed Lincoln years ago and put the time and money into developing one (or more) of the PAG brands they once owned?

Put a cover on that +1 before you present it to Kim or she'll probably give you a gift you'll keep for life.

I thought the butt looked a little large for a small car; somewhat Kardartian. However, I know your taste, Ray: Cheap with a big butt. The only thing missing are lots of tattoos.

We love you, Pauljones. You say what we want to say, but can't find the words, and save us one Hell of a lot of typing.

This was Back to the Future year in Detroit. The American automakers have had a lot of catching up to do and IMHO the actual product in the pipeline looks pretty damned good.

Yes, it's on my computer. :)

I'm looking at the new cars from the Detroit automakers and I'm having a very hard time being cynical and sarcastic. That's not my nature.

Excellent point, I'd forgotten all about Mitsubishi. Judging from recent sales figures I'm not alone. :)
