I for one am not worried in the least. After being abandoned by Lincoln and seeing the replacement POS (MKS) I have already decided this is my last Lincoln and probably Ford for that matter.
I have owned:
Ford Rangers (2)
Mustangs (2)
Escort GT
Windstars (2)
Taurus SHO (3)
Lincoln LS (2)
They have nothing I am interested in now. I will probably go with BMW or Mercedes next.
Ford has dug their hole and now they have to lie in it. If they sold off Aston, Jag, Land Rover, Mazda, and Volvo, they could then focus on Lincoln. But this will not happen. My guess is that they will sell Aston, Land Rover, and Mazda, and kill off Lincoln and Mercury. Ford will then consis of Ford, Jag, Volvo.
