No - that's not the reason. The reason they were used as limos - "were" being the operative word, since they don't make these any more - was because various companies that converted Lincolns into limos had been doing so for decades. Thus it would not be cost-effective to start using an entirely different car. Besides - exactly what sort of crazy things does a limo have to do anyway? All they do is cruise around with people to parties and weddings. Not exactly hard work anyway.

Oh - and by the way I have seen Lexus limos, so it's not like they don't exist.

Actually there are Lexus limos out there (why, I don't know), but the reason you don't see them is because Lincoln and Cadillac have always been the #1 choice for a majority of limo and airport service companies. My brother-in-law has an airport and limo company, and most of the Lincolns he has used have topped out with over 400,000 miles.
