Cadillac CTS I think has already caught up Lexus in terms of interior look-n-feel, plus quality. I had the "pleasure" and I do mean pleasure to drive the new CTS and it's a fine car. Whether consumers see value in it or not, remains to be seen, but if the resale value stays high, then Cadillac will do well. Lincoln MKZ and all it's derivatives, are just too "funky" interior design-wise. The crazy wood and squared off dash elements, just make for "love it or hate it" polarizations. For me, I hate the interior of the MKZ.

Yes they are. I just visited the website.
The exterior is a cross btw an Acura TL and a Mitsubishi. Interior is pretty traditional Lincoln style, with some color thrown in to make it look younger. On paper it looks good. Once I saw pics of it, the Cadillac has a MUCH higher chance of success IMO.

I think this is the replacement for the Town Car. I don't think traditional Town Car buyers are going to be all that excited. I like the design on the web site but I'll hold off on new car fever until I sit in it & drive it.

I agree. I'm not sure what Lincoln will do about the traditional Town Car buyers. Maybe they're willing to send them elsewhere and get younger buyers into the brand. Is Caddy still making a full sized sedan (DTS or something like that)?

Oh yes, the DTS is alive and strong. Had one for an Avis rental - nice car / cheaper interior versus 2001 - 2005 models. We had a '99 Town Car that we sold privately before the Lexus ES350 plunge. Don't miss it but I don't know what I expected with the Lexus brand. It is a nice driving, looking and riding car but I think the aura is over hyped and rated.

Too bad about the STS. I always like the proportions of it as well as, or better than the CTS.
It's looking like the Lincoln lineup will be similar to Caddy's. No surprise I guess.
