I was certain when I sat down at the Lincoln press conference this morning I'd focus on the fact that the car looks like John Wilkes Booth. And then I saw the mimosa station and realized I was wrong. The story here is Lincoln is so desperate to pretend they're a luxury manufacturer they've got a mimosa station. And a live rock-classical fusion band. More »

For a dictator whose country has never been on particularly rosy terms with the United States, North Korea’s recently departed Dear Leader was allotted a rather peculiar hearse after a life of Mercedes-Benz fetish. That's totally an old black Lincoln. More »

American luxury today lacks the grandeur and optimism of the past, a fact driven by a generation raised with no appreciation for hoods long enough to land a Dreamliner, or the mystique of the opera window. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Lincoln Mark V serves as a stoic reminder of what luxury once was, but is its price a little too reminiscent? More »
