If you like this new Lincoln’s look, especially its heritage-based "double-wing" grille, there’s not much to dislike about it. With an agreeable balance of performance, efficiency, room and value, and front- or available all-wheel-drive, it lacks only most rivals’ rear-wheel drive and a prestigious import nameplate.
While Lincoln’s new flagship sedan punches most of the right buttons, competition at this level is tough. Most competitors offer rear-wheel drive, available higher performance and better-respected brand names. If you’re willing to pay more for it, a German or Japanese or a domestic Cadillac luxury sedan may suit you better.
