Lincolns have nothing to do with Avalons. My Brother had a 98 Avalon that he seldom changed the oil on, and at 300,000 miles we finally changed the timing belt. He sold it with close to 350,000 miles and no problems whatsoever. BTW, his Avalon was made in Kentucky. A lot of the last gen Lincolns were made in Canada. So... "Take that, imports!" In fact the new Avalons are either the most or close to the most actual American-made cars you can buy, with something like over 90% domestically produced content. And where is Lincoln? They don't make Town cars or anything else like those anymore, so there's nothing to really talk about here.

The mid 90s Town Car's version of the 4.6 is rated at 210 HP. The Police Interceptor Crown Vics are rated at 251 HP with a heavy duty transmission. They are not the same. I own a '96 Town Car that is approaching 200,000 miles; great car.
