Ford will end production of its Lincoln LS sedan next week, according to a report by Automotive News. A total of 262,900 cars have been built since production started in April of 1999. The Lincoln Town Car will continue production next year, when the Wixom plant will be closed. In January, Lincoln unveiled the MKS Concept, which is believed to be the replacement for the LS. The front/all-wheel-drive car is expected to enter production in February 2008.

This is my biggest problem with American auto makers. brands come and go. Got a BMW 3 series? you got decades of history and legacy behind it.
Got a Honda Civic same thing.
Got a Tempo?
What happened to the Neon?
Where’s Plymouth (If anyone really cares)?
How about US automakers settle on some decent nameplates and then improve those same vehicles over time? Buy a US car and you’ll have no clue whether it will actually exist in 10 years. No such fear on a Honda, BMW or Toyota.

Because the US makers leave the nameplates unredesigned, to rot until they earn a bad reputation, thus making reuse of the nameplate inviable. They save money by not redesigning the cars every 5 years. Coming up with a new name is still cheaper than full reengineering every 5 years. Nationalism dictates Americans to buy lots of American cars anyways, so there’s that safety net.

Ford knows that if Lincoln is going to be taken seriously as a rival to Cadillac, its lineup needs to be rear-drive. It will not be taken seriously until then.
