Lincoln has never exactly been a pillar of original design throughout any of their entire history.

"According to Motor City legend, Iacocca created the Mark III by directing a designer to "take the Thunderbird and put a Rolls-Royce grille on it."

I guess if it moves product it can't really be faulted. Better to have a good derivative design than a bad original design.
