Lincoln - The most loveable town car of America

OVERVIEW

HIGHS Cushy ride, quiet at speed, six-passenger seating, large trunk, may be the last traditional American luxury sedan.		LOWS Tepid V-8 engine, steering too numb for our tastes, bland enough to make the menu at Bill Knapp�s.
WHAT'S NEW A couple of new shades of beige and a new hue of blue.		BEHIND THE WHEEL The only clue that you�re driving the Town Car is the steering wheel.
CAPSULE REVIEW A traditional, rear-wheel-drive V-8�powered six-passenger full-size sedan that�s a favorite of livery drivers and retirees because of its space, creamy ride, and safety stuff. However, the driving experience is dull: There�s little difference between driving a TC and riding in one.
