I think it would be a cool idea for them to somehow skew the “lux” idea and generate a small car, priced for young adults. Using myself as an example, I don’t make a bad wage but I still have to be practical especially now in these touch economic times. Just because the engine won’t “melt faces” doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy better interior and ride options.

…I don’t know but I say it would at least get some looks

Lincoln should have made a coupe as well, hell if caddy can FINALLY do it why not lincoln- i’m sure they could make a high priced mustang- just slap some lincoln badges on it and call it a day- we can call that the…. Clydesdale

Wallowing in mediocrity?????? The Grand Marquis and Town Car are the finest cars made these days! I would get a 2004 Town Car but my “junky unreliable garbage motors etc.” 28 year old General Motors product just never breaks.

Seriously? Well if they do it they better do a damn good job, way better than the copy-cat Mariner.

They need to drop the Milan, Sable, Grand Marquis, Mariner and Mountaineer and just badge the new compact as the “Lincoln Mercury.”

This will solidify what I have been saying for a long time. Lincoln is nothing more than a faux luxury brand. No respectable luxury brand would produce a compact sedan

A compact Lincoln would be a great idea. And while they’re at it they could also add a curling iron, makeup brush, and eye shadow because I can’t see anyone with a pair buying such a vehicle.

I’m not sure about this. But as long as they actually differentiate it from a Ford/Merc then I would be happy. They’ve introduced some good models lately.

This is so stupid they will probably do it!

They should also make a Lincoln pickup that would sell like hotcakes! …oh wait

How about: “The Lincoln Memorial”?

“Wallowing in mediocrity” — gotta love it.
May I suggest a name for the proposed Lincoln compact: the Lincoln Cimarron. Or, the Lincoln-Mercury Cougar Kuga.

i say do it. lincoln makes nice looking cars and there’s a new niche for premium small-sized cars so go for it.
