Im confused on the fleet sales issue? Sure Ford (and GM) sell alot more fleet cars than the other mfg's. But what about all those Camrys, Accords, Civic's and Corrolas you see down at the rental car lots, are those not fleet sales? Lexus and Ford will never compete in the same league, not a fair comparison! THey are not aiming for the same consumer base anyway. Lincoln on the other hand should be taking aim at least at the lower end of the Lexus line up (price wise).

I also think that Lincoln NEEDS that MKS! I saw that at NAIAS and was blown away, it is a gorgeous design. To me and other comments I overheard it had a very Lexus like look to it. As long as they can get it out on time, wihtout quality issues and market it correctly I think it could definitely help Lincolns image, because God only knows what the heck is up with the rest of their line up ( TC, MK-LT and Zephyr (ugly beast in person!)). I also dont think Lincolns have the sales to support free standing dealers, Mercury pays the bills that allow dealers to sell Lincolns.
