Spy Shots: Next-generation Lincoln LT is forbidden fruit we can live without
We've known for about a year that Ford wouldn't revive the Lincoln Mark LT after the model's current run ended in late 2008 with the introduction of the latest F-150. That being the case, you might be left scratching you head as to why we're seeing spy shots of a new Mark LT, complete with the most recent rendition of the automaker's toothy grille. Apparently, there's still a market for expensive luxury trucks in Mexico, and that's where this truck will be headed in the not-so-distant future.Those buyers from our southern neighbors still lining up for a Lincoln pickup will need to pony up an extra few pesos for the privilege of driving off the lot in a new truck wearing a badge from the automaker named after Honest Abe. If you're living outside Mexico and feeling left out... don't. After spending a little time ogling Ford's latest F-150 in its top-level Platinum clothing, we're don't think Americans are going to miss the Lincoln Mark LT one bit. Thanks for the tip, Adam!

The Carpocalypse is coming. Again. Just like the last time. With a Vengeance.

I actually was prepared to throw up before I click on the link. And I'm glad I did...(prepare, that is.)

Wow. There are so many doped up Narcos in Mexico now that they can still sell that monstrosity? Someone say a few Hail Mary's for our friends south of the border...

You have got to be kidding me.
The prior two attempts at a Lincoln truck were disastrous. And that was when the market was good and consumers were still buying so-called premium trucks for personal use.
Now Ford is taking another bite at the apple with the LT. Just when Ford seems to have their sh*t together, they do this.

They should just let them go bust. What's the point of having car companies that produce junk.....then they should be reclassified as "Waste"

That is horrific. For Ford's sake, I hope Mexicans have a different sense of taste (though I suspect they don't).

It's the Automotive El Chubacapra.

We do have better sense of taste. That's why we do have Alfa Romeos and Fiats 500 on the streets and all those Audis that you don't get. If they try to sell us this pos, well, it won't sell.

Well if there is demand for it, Ford would be foolish to not put it into production. They need all the sales they can get.

Has to be a joke, that can't be for real.
