One thing about these surveys that companies use to pick focus groups: either there are a hella lotta super rich folks out there, or there's a hella lotta lying going on in these surveys!!! And then you have the gophers in marketing treating this junk like it's gospel. Oi. I call 'em gophers because their idea of market leadership is to poke their heads outta their holes, look around at what all the competition is doing, and try to match it. Those original ideas from engineering? Forgetaboutit!

It seems to have the front end of a Pontiac.
Not pretty, It also reminds me of the Prius.
Poor ole Lincoln took a beaten this time round.
The car is screaming "New Designer ! oh God just shoot me, please , I beg you".

Which raises the question of what sort of people these are?
In my mind someone driving a Lincoln is like a terradactyl riding a brontosaurus.
