The new Lincoln MKX didn't draw much praise or hate from us. What do you think?

berkeleying hideous with a an awful naming scheme. Ford really ought to be able to do better.

Every single Lincoln right now has the exact same name, even to a "car person". It's idiotic.

I too do not follow the naming scheme. My strategy is just flat out ignore all Lincoln cars that way I don't have to worry about it.

Working at a Ford/Lincoln dealership I must agree, the Lincoln naming is extremely confusing. The cars are packed with technology that the normal geriatric does NOT need. Their jitterbugs are now equipped with bluetooth and that makes our live even more in jeopardy when they're out on the roads trying to figure out what's going on.

I had a guy the other day who told me, "I tried to tell that lady (talking about the computer voice for Sync) to call my wife, she didn't understand me and I didn't understand her. I told her to take her ass back to Iraq or wherever she was from." I told him that was the computer voice for the Sync and there wasn't a real lady in his radio. He gave me a blank stare.

Such is my daily life at work...

For the afore mentioned geriatrics. LOL I haven't seen a Lincoln owner/driver under the age of 60 in my dealership yet. Not that 60 is geriatric or anything...
