  • Like it or not, Lincoln has a reputation for appealing to a decidedly older clientele, but does the all-new MKX crossover have the style and technology to lure in a new generation of buyers?

    I'm 35 and I own fully loaded MKS. Its really nice car to drive. Its affordable luxury. But sadly many people don't appreciate that and looking for European cars. Every American should drive American cars, you need to support our economy, these care are much better quality and reliability than before.

      Right on. They think they have to buy European or Japanese luxury cars to be cool. Sadly, all their doing is killing the North American auto industry and are to naïve to realize how this is has been killing jobs as well. But, they obviously don't care.

      I was 36 when I bought this amazing SUV. It is enough to satisfy a driver enthusiast when put into S mode and those seeking a soft, luxurious ride. I must also say my 2016, has nearly 100kms, and I've got no complaints....I couldn't be happier with it.

    You know what would be great? if these reviewers just end the old people bit already. It is tired! Just review the fricking car. You are not Lincoln's marketing department but a brand will not improve its buyers age if you have people like this guy telling younger people not to buy. At this point, Lincoln is not the problem, it's these "journalists". Another question, why do these reviewers believe young people do not want cushy luxurious rides too?

  • @EvanderSmart
    @EvanderSmart 8 років тому +2

    Lincoln has a very weak brand at this point. No one was interested in their MKC, which launched against no new competition 2 years ago. This is a bigger version of that going against an all-new Lexus RX and coming Cadillac XT5 this year, the two top sellers. Their timing for this release is awesomely bad, but I don't think it really matters. Lincoln dealers are not luxury top-tier. Not ready to play with the big boys. They need to undercut the competition, significantly, to gain market share.

    • @r3medy5
      @r3medy5 8 років тому +1

      under-cutting competition doesn’t always lead to marketshare. there are early adopters who are looking for a change of the vanilla style luxury that the "big boys" are offering. i like the direction they are taking and including the amount of features included in the fully loaded examples do offer great value at a lower price. simply put they still have physical buttons on the dash that for some reason manufacturers are trying to get rid of, ask cadillac how thats working for them. anyone considering these cars go for a test drive, and see it for yourself. they said hyundai cant make a luxury car and now we have the genesis. times they are a changing.

    • @EvanderSmart
      @EvanderSmart 8 років тому

      r3medy5 This looks very vanilla compared to the new Lexus RX, which is going hard after a younger and more masculine buyer.
      My point is the vehicle is fine. The brand is the weakness. People aren't out to get a Lincoln. This will take a long time to change.

    • @jakobcabala6973
      @jakobcabala6973 8 років тому

      +Nima Bahrehdar To each its own, but the sales numbers are driven by reputation and the name, which Lincoln does not have. Camry had a rush update, so did the civic both at/near the top in sales yet both design problems. MKX looks classy, the way the older RX did the way BMW or Merc do. RX now in its desperate need to appeal to a younger buyer is pushing its design which in my opinion will not look good in 2-3 years and I'm sure the sales will still be there. Yes you did say XT5 time will tell but again caddy has a better reputation now the Lincoln. On the other hand Titanium Edge is not a fair comparison at all.

We are no longer buying anymore Lincoln mkx.
