EEEEEWWWWWWWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

I can just see the interview at the press release:

Reporter - "So what made you decide to market a Lincoln pickup truck?"
Lincoln representitive "Um, uh, well, Cadillac did it."

It just looks like , I think. Here: (source)

It looks like they tacked on a couple cheap chrome-trimmed reflectors on the tailgate just to try and make it look more Lincoln-ish. It looks only marginally better than the ass end of the overdone-for-comic-effect station wagon in National Lampoon's Vacation.

I liked the old Lincoln Blackwood.  This thing is pretty ugly though.

I believe theyre gonna call this thing  Mark 12 or something to that effect. They are shooting for the rich mofookie that says i dont want a Lariat i want somethig lincoln and to tell the truth i kinda like it (im not one for trucks except the lightning or GT-R). And i do believe Linclon did it first with the Black wood

I like it. The wheels on this one are pretty cool. Other than the tailgate and grill it looks a lot like the new F-150's. I'm sure the interior will be more luxury than the F-150. This truck was probably not designed to haul very much or tow anything either. It is mainly to look good, kind of like the Cadillac truck. You don't buy a Cadillac truck to haul stuff, you buy it because it looks cool.

True and i believe that the inside will be lined with the finest white italian leather, that is if they are keeping it the way that i last heard it would be.

It is just a minimally-reskinned F-150.  Practically just re-badged.  I can see the arrogant douche-bags driving this thing already.  "Get out of my way!  I'm driving a truck and it's a Lincoln!

And yeah, Lincoln, way to ize the Mark Series.

Whatever happened to the Blackwood?  Oh yeah, it DIDN'T SELL.  I predict the same fate for this truck as well.
Title: Re: Today's sign of the apocalypse:
Post by: 20th anny 5.o on December 16, 2004, 12:52:15 PM
The reason it did not sell is because they did not Market it at all.For the one or two years that it was being sold i only saw one Televison ad.
Title: Re: Today's sign of the apocalypse:
Post by: lowcat on December 16, 2004, 07:45:00 PM
I think it would sell pretty good. From what I have seen the new F-150 sells pretty good and if you like the new F-150 they you will probably like the lincoln truck.

I was gonna reply and say that myself but i figure if you dont like it im not gonna even try and convince some one to like it so i would rather have a Blackwood/ Mark LT vs. this


because you wanna talk an ulgy truck there is my choice

hey hey hey now don't mock the caddy truck. i actually would perfer one over the new ford truck anyway. diehard gm fan here. i do like alot of the cars gm has comeout with especially there trucks.

If we  wanna talk about a straight rip if we are gonna bash the Mark LT for being a re skinned cromed up F-150 the Escalade deserves to have its ass ridiculed also. thats all im saying at least Ford bothered to re name its "New" model.

Post by: Cougar8775 on December 16, 2004, 09:25:17 PM
so didn't gm. do u see that called the silverado NO! when any major car company does a redesign do they need to change the name NO! but there are alot of simularities in trucks in the gm line and ford line. so no vehicle manufacturor needs to be blamed for anything
Title: Re: Today's sign of the apocalypse:
Post by: lowcat on December 16, 2004, 09:32:42 PM
I always thought the escillade truck looked more like an avalanche then a silverado.
Title: Re: Today's sign of the apocalypse:
Post by: Cougar8775 on December 16, 2004, 09:36:58 PM
but it is based off the silverado chassie as is the avilanche and i do love the gm trucks.
Title: Re: Today's sign of the apocalypse:
Post by: 20th anny 5.o on December 16, 2004, 10:37:04 PM
Meaning the Escalade EXt is just a baged up Avalanche EXT and the avalance is just a wanna be Truck that can be turned into an suv and i use the term turned loosley.
Title: Re: Today's sign of the apocalypse:
Post by: Cougar8775 on December 16, 2004, 10:45:16 PM
as far as the chassie yeah. as far as that it shares that with the avilanche and that is it.

Title: Re: Today's sign of the apocalypse:
Post by: Cougar8775 on December 16, 2004, 11:15:22 PM
the avilanche and escalade are the same. just different badging. but they share one thing in common with the gm trucks the chassie thats it!
