I like names and think most buyers, enthusiasts and others with fully funtional brains agree. The article says that the car was an "immediate sales success". Tell me this: Why does it need a new name? I like the car. I think It looks good and I really like the bigger engine with more horsepower. Why change the name? It's like someone at the top said "Oh no we almost have brand recognition again! Change the name!" What happened to names?

But I do love the 250hp All-Wheel Drive combo, but I still think it should have at lease 280hp. Even though I kind of like their new naming scheme, Zephyr just sounds a heck of alot better than MKZ.

M-K-whatever is weak and uninspired naming that isn't going to help sell cars. And whatever brand equity “Mark” had left is diffused across the entire Lincoln lineup?

Motortrend and Car and Driver can't seem to agree. Some say the confusion comes from Mark Fields calling them "Mark" not "M-K-#" when he was introducing them. Ford was gonna call them MK# but Fields has got it all messed up. At least thats what I gather from recent readings. I like MK# its "new" and Lincoln needs "new" real bad. Mark LT=MKT Navigator=MKN Town Car replacment (bigger than MKS)=MKA (as in Alpha) Plus the MKZ, MKS and MKX I’m not sure, I have read conflicting articals about how to pronounce the new names.

I can see the Navigator being renamed something like Mark LS in roder to draw a connection with the LT, but then again they just killed their "LS" sedan so that may not be a good idea. "LX" would have toyota suing Lincoln in addition to Honda. "LR" would be too similar to the disco... i mean LR3. I guess all the cool L# have been taken. If they’re changing all the names over to “Mark #”… don’t you think that “Mark LT” already meets the requirements?

An extra 20some ponies can't hurt. AWD can be handy for some. The tail lights are still to large. Does this mean the Mark LT and Navigator will be renamed and resyled? The front looks better.
