You have knowledge that FMC is losing money with Lincoln? As a Brand or with each specific model? Looking forward to seeing the numbers!

I read somewhere that Ford makes about 90% of its profits on the F-Series. So the rest of the lineup, and Lincoln, can't be making much.

I read this time and time again but can't seem to bring it up. Looked at their annual report but its lumped into one sum.

No way . . .

Mulally said Lincoln has modest goals. He recognizes even moderate success will take time.

Farley said the goal is bringing luxury to all Americans, rather than catching up with the Germans.

Lincoln can afford to be patient. It is profitable today, even on modest sales.

saw a pearl white, on black wheels and tinted all the way around on the way back from Vegas this weekend. I can now attest that this vehicle looks great in the flesh vs in pics.

I like the MKZ a lot, and the Hybrid is a screaming deal compared to the competition.

Still amazed (at times) at what a set of wheels/tires can do to an automobile or truck . . .

Yeah and they were comparing it to ATS, IS250, TSX!! Apples to oranges. A fairer comparison would be ES350, S60, TL, etc
