Summary:
What a Detroit product should be!
Faults:
Faulty electronic warning signals, and the air ride suspension system is unreliable, and very expensive to repair.
General Comments:
Ordered this car from the factory and drove it regularly for six years, and then garaged it after I bought a Mark VIII (big mistake to discontinue the line).
This was my second TC. I have a Benz, and when I switch to the TC, I have to be careful to throttle back on the accelerator, because it's so quick.
Mostly just oil changes and regular maintenance, except for the Air Ride Suspension System. Still turns heads on the street. Best value I've ever had in a car, with the possible exception of my first TC. The new MKX or whatever it's called simply cannot take its place. Too chunky, antithesis of elegant. Bring back the MarkIII and the traditional TC, and you'll have my business again.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

The MKS sedan is the Town Car's "replacement"... Sure, it has more power, but it's not my idea of a "flagship" sedan.

Is this 'MKS' a front driver? I looked at the Lincoln web site and I couldn't find any information on that, but there were lots of pictures - what a horrible looking car. A fifty-thousand dollar Taurus.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. The cars coming out of Detroit are jokes. To think of what Lincoln is asking for these should make Ford ashamed of themselves. I am a Buick fan, and when I look at my Park Avenue compared to the new Lucerne or Lacrosse, I just don't understand why they discontinued the Park Avenue. The new cars are not fit to be flagships, and truly are the antithesis of what a traditional American luxury car once was. Unfortunately though, we will probably never see real cars again, unless you like the sports and GT models.
