You forgot to mention that with the Black Label, you get their complimentary care service for 4 years. Basically, whereas every other car you have to bring the car into the dealership for service, Lincoln Black Label service will get staff to pick up your car from your home, and drop off a loaner car. They'll take your car to the dealer in for service and detail/car wash the vehicle before bringing it back in.

Idea: you should add another stat to the dougscore - dougs per dollar (overall dougscore divided by price). That would be a great metric for putting the cars in context. The Lincoln isn't going to get the same score as a Rolls, but probably beats it on a per dollar standpoint. It would be interesting to see what would be at the top and bottom of such a list.

I like seeing an American luxury car maker rediscovering its roots.

[@johnhancock6114]

I agree. In the early days the Lincoln was a high-end luxury automobile but by the 1980's this changed drastically when American cars were shrunk down to nothing with embarrassingly small motors. The Thunderbird was yet another prime example of this. In the early 70's my family had a 68 T-bird and they were very large, very heavy luxury cars with a 429 ci V8. In the 80's the T-bird was reduced to a boxy 4 cylinder POS and 14" wheels with only four lugs, which were typically only used in compact car designs.

[@cosmon_]

@@johnhancock6114 that was because of the oil crisis and people wanted small efficient cars, this is where toyota shone and became a big automaker.

I agree. If memory serves in 2017 2.1 million sedans were sold in the US. Why Ford would be so stupid as to completely walk away from a segment that still has millions upon millions of sales for the taking is beyond me. Especially when they have always been a solid contender. My 07 Focus went 10 yrs and 231k miles with no major issues and was still running great when I sold it. Now Ford is forcing me to change companies the next time I buy a car even though I wanted to be loyal to them. I've even seen Ford employees saying they will have to buy from other companies now that Ford has given up on sedans. An absolute shame.

[@limoguy6061]

As someone who drove one of these every day for 8-12 hours (as opposed to out and back on the dealer's driveway...), here's an addendum to what Doug said. Under all the fancy stuff, it's a Ford Fusion. The good: The AWD system is excellent and with the standard tires the car is well planted in bad weather, and has a surprising amount of grip in the dry, too. The base V6 should be plenty for almost everyone, and the brakes are face-pulling strong. The button shifter looks cool, but more importantly, it's fast and easy to use, which is great for when you're a working driver. Everyone loves the comfort of the rear seats. The standard audio system sounds nice and Sync for the most part works flawlessly. The driver's seat is very comfortable. Doug mocks the drive select system, but it's actually nice, because you can set "D" to have eco throttle response and soft suspension for customer comfort, but sport (firmer) steering. The rear running light bar looks like absolute sex, the unlock/lock effect on the running lights is really slickly done, and I think in general it's easily the most attractive car Ford has made in close to four decades; it lacks the...awkwardness...that so many Ford cars have, and I think in 10 years this car will probably still look good, whereas most ten year old fords are extremely dated. The bad: the driver's area is...cramped, and I'm a pretty small person. The wood is overly glossy and the glossy clearcoat looks cheap as it wears a bit, and doug is right - they get really, really close to getting this all right, but the back panel controls in particular don't age well. The trunk isn't big; it's small compared to the 7-series, though not as small as the S90 (these are the three popular cars for fleet limos in our area.) The fancy door handles break in livery service, as does the trunk closing mechanism. Nobody knows how to get out of the cars (which is a plus in our circles, as it stops clients from opening their doors into traffic and such.) The base V6 drinks gas like crazy compared to much more fuel-efficient cars like the S90 (a car that makes the interior of the Continental look like a joke.) There are, however, two big flaws: one is professional driver safety. Any time the doors are unlocked, even if someone is inside, the door buttons light up red. If anyone wants to rob you - limo drivers often do have a fair bit of cash on them - they have a nice handy indicator as to whether they doors are unlocked or not. The second biggest flaw is that the transmission in this car is HORRID. Customers like a smooth ride, right? Well, many times you'll be crawling in traffic on the highway and the transmission slam-shifts from 1st to 2nd with a big, violent lurch. Every single car I drove in the fleet did it.

[@ahuman9864]

It’s a Fusion underneath it all? I thought the MKZ was the Fusion counterpart? I get that manufacturers have parts bins, I mean I have a Lexus LS (70+k car), and the rear vents are the exact same as a Corolla, but it’s still a Lexus. How much of this Lincoln is a fusion?

Nah. Your phone brightness setting stays at your choice in dim environments. When you go outside, the brightness goes to max, so you can see it better, then back down once you go inside. What they should do is add an ambient light sensor ($2 electronic part, less in quantity) and do it automatically like phones do.

Great review Doug. Watch you all the time. Calling it “a plain luxury car” is a little unfair thought. True it focuses on luxury mostly, but my ’18 2.7 dual turbo does 0-60 is 5.5 seconds. That’s Audi C7 territory. And it’s AWD.

[@apaksl]

"Styling is fine but a bit bland." so it gets a 6? imo you dont properly utilize 1-4 on your scale for styling. i mean, does this sedan look just as good as the Ferrari 348? cause they both get 6. You should set it up so that anything that is remotely ugly just gets a 1. bland/generic/average gets a 2-3, and then there is plenty of room between 4-10 to distinguish beautiful cars from each other. That is more or less how you do the acceleration category, everything slower than 5.5 seconds (or whatever your cutoff is) gets a 1, then there's plenty of room between 2-10 for the fast cars to distinguish themselves.
