Lincoln Town Car.
Last Updated:
How about another guess at what a future Lincoln Town Car sedan could look like?
One that isn’t really futuristic, just modern enough for today. Yet keeping the classic American luxury car proportions. Of course, it would be sleeker than the last generation since almost everything is these days, even me. The super roomy large luxury sedan could maybe incorporate a fastback design this time around. Just like the new 2025 Charger that actually looks like a classic 2 door coupe, but includes a very practical hatchback.
Before anyone says hatchbacks don’t belong in luxury cars, the Town Car has been replaced by the Navigator in Lincoln’s current lineup. Which is not only a truck, but also one with a giant hatch.
The convenience of a hatch and a giant trunk would be a blessing for a car that is often used to carry people to and back from airports and various locations.
The Lincoln Town Car was produced from 1981 to 2011, through 3 generations. It represented an old-fashioned American idea of a luxury car and was never as modern or sophisticated as the foreign competition. However, it was also quite a bit cheaper than a large BMW or Mercedes sedan.
Of course, Lincoln doesn’t currently have a large car platform they could use for a new Town Car. Turning the Mustang platform into a luxury car could be tough…
With Ford canceling (for now) their large 3-row EV SUV, a large electric platform would probably have also to wait a while.
Meanwhile, Cadillac is pushing its EV transition with the new Ultium platform. And even working on 2 all-new sedans based on that platform. Lincoln seems so far behind that it’s almost sad.
An all-SUV lineup in the US with a very timid approach to any form of electrification. While everyone else is pushing ahead.
If not in the US, they could always sell it in China. Like GM does with a second-generation Cadillac CT6 and a redesigned Buick Lacrosse.
