林肯：隱形的旗艦

????林肯（Lincoln）一邊在尋找競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手的漏洞，一邊對(duì)旗艦轎車(chē)大戰(zhàn)敬謝不敏。林肯希望吸引那些年輕買(mǎi)家，而這些年輕買(mǎi)家對(duì)又大又貴的轎車(chē)并不癡迷。由于林肯堅(jiān)持福特公司（Ford）的“同一個(gè)世界”的產(chǎn)品計(jì)劃，因此它也缺乏一個(gè)合適的后驅(qū)平臺(tái)和一臺(tái)V8發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)。太可惜了。不管是林肯還是歐陸（Continental），這兩個(gè)品牌最令人難忘的經(jīng)典車(chē)型差不多都是在艾德索?福特（1939年）和其子威廉?凱利?福特（1955年）時(shí)代生產(chǎn)的。

Lincoln: Invisible flagship

????In its search for seams in its competitors' defenses, Lincoln has declined to fight the flagship wars. It wants to go after younger buyers who don't yearn for a big, expensive sedan, and due to its decision to stick with Ford's (F, Fortune 500) One World product plan, it lacks a proper rear-drive or V-8 engine anyway. Too bad. Whether under a Lincoln or Continental badge, it has produced memorable designs both under Edsel Ford (1939) and his son, William Clay Ford (1955).
