  • My inner nerd violently exited my body.

    Its going to get a Lincoln.

  • Comment removed

  • I have a huge dilemma, the superiority of Asian cars when it comes to reliability and the comfort of the American cars.

    I had a Lincoln in 2005,it was great car except that I had to go to the garage each 6months ,very expensive to maintain and sucks fuel ,on the end I started hating the brand because it makes me suffer so much.

    How can I have the performance of American cars and the reliability of the Asian cars?

  • @issamworld American cars have come a long long way since 2005.

  • @issamworld Look at a cadillac, that's what I have. It's extremly reliable and an all-around great car. The newer ones are pricey though so you might want to look at older makes of it(2-4 years).

  • @SekaiKatsura1 Good call,thx

  • now I know why they call it ecoboost :| haha

  • My goodness, what a sexy car...

    X

  • the next star trek star ship should be named lincoln :-D

  • This really isn't an American car it's based on the Volvo S80.

  • @ChocolatusPrime The platform is the same, that's it. The engine, gearbox, interior, and exterior are completely different from any Volvo vehicle.

  • @ChocolatusPrime what ford owned vovlo that's why they could do that they sold vovlvo along with aston martin, jaguar, land rover, and still have partership with mazda

  • i want one!!!!

  • I used to annoy the family by cranking up the volume for this commercial. (I'm known for muting all commercials -- this was one of the few exceptions.

  • What the hell is that ?

    Really , I like the Lincolns but

    What´s wrong with the keys ?

  • hate the car but love the commercial lol

  • Damn Right! Starships Dont Need Keys.

  • The MKS is nothing but a over priced ford Taurus with an old platform that was used on the 2004 ford 500 and the Mercury Montego that came from Volvo

  • @44altecz - And you knew that because you went to WIKIPEDIA - LOL

    The car is nicer because it uses an Swedish/Euro platform and not an American one. Many of Ford's latest cars use the platforms from Euro to give the car a more European feel and styling. And yes the new Taurus is proof of that.

  • @TechieXP NO I did not go to Wikipedia it was Car and Driver its all the same platform the Taurus the new explorer the MKX and the MKT ALL THE SAME and you can find this information any were

  • @dslcobra actually, no. i own an '87 Ford F-250 and an '89 F-250. not much of a luxury car person myself, so honestly i wouldn't buy any of these cars. now you want to know why cadillac outsells lincoln? because people themselves are stupid, that's just it. anybody who buys a new caddy these days just hasn't been in a real car. i mean my 20 year old trucks both have better interiors than any cadillac i've ever worked on. an escalade by the way is just an overpriced suburban.

  • @dslcobra Ok well first off I was talking about the commercials, so that reply was pointless. Second, everything Lincoln has blows the doors off of Cadillac. I would never buy a Cadillac in my life, they're just complete pieces of junk.

  • lincoln rules at commercials. cadillac FAILS at trying to copy them.

  • if thats a starship he might want to close his sunroof

  • Lincoln commercials = space theme = amazing and get my signature when i buy my next car

  • This commercial made me cry because it was so awesome haha, Lincoln is too good at Advertising

  • car looks great and isn't so expensive I wish to have some lincoln dealers here in europe

  • yeah because all spaceships have automatic transmissions

  • thats hilarious! : ) nice!!

  • This is the closest thing to the 1950's dream of flying cars in our time period that we have ever gotten.

  • Wow, whoever made this advertisement really knows their shit.

  • I'm in deca and couldn't make anything 1% as good.

  • ooooh i wan it :D

  • me 2 :D

  • The song is Burning For You by Shiny Toy Guns.

  • What song is playing?

  • Pretty cool

  • The Hyundai Genesis is a glorified KIA and the Lexus GS is an over priced Toyota.

    The days of Mercedes Jaguar and BMW, in north America, are coming to a close as well.

    Don't take my word for it, look at the market trend. Americans are switching back to American cars. Don't take my word for it, look it up yourself!

  • @puffrooster

    Funny.... Last I checked Vw, BMW, and Audi are trending up.

    I Will never own a new american vehicle....EVER.

    Way to many problems off the line, plastic and fake leather interiors, poor engineering, hell the newest american vehicle i have is a 96 ram 2500 with a cummins and a 5 speed(bloody awesome).

    Everything else is A euro/jap car, 83 VW scirocco, 94 540I, 92 honda accord, and a 94 infiniti g20. Thats it. Only other US car i would touch is a pre 92 chevy.

  • @xeronicus

    VW & Mazda are selling all stock at 0% financing. BMW has to sell select models at 1.9% and AUDI is more desperate than those two!

    The ppl who might have bought an import before are switchwing back to domestic for a variety of reasons; economy, reliability & price. It is what is under the bonnet that counts now, not who's emblem is on the hood.

    Infinitis are glorified Nissans, Honda makes good generators, BMW's are overrated and VW's are boring; but to each their own.

  • @puffrooster Though Id love your statement to be true Im afraid its far from a reality, though I firmly believe that the American Luxury brands are def on the upswing. sadly Mercedes and BMW are engineered to a much higher standard then Lincoln and Cadillac, even Jaguars are now reliable and well engineered. But in all honesty, Id rather drive a black MKS then any of the other "European" marques.

  • @VikramRao75

    I agree wholeheartedly. Thing is that Lincoln's and Cadillac's are very affordable now. I can have a BMW M5 in two years but I can have a financing for a Cadillac CTS-V tommorow. Jaguars are nice too (we were at the dealership yesterday actually), but if I had cash for a Jag I would use it as a down payment on an Aston Martin instead.

  • it geek needs to get back in his boy honda civic and get a life, he wouldn't know a nice car if it ran him over, major moron!

  • Isn't the touchpad kind of pointless as this vehicle is equipped with a smartkey?

  • That is great! It doesn't get any better than is haha!

  • Folks,

    This Spiaggia bitch doesn't have any money to buy MKS, let alone MKZ. She's currently driving a pissy old Focus. She's just wasting your time. That's why we call this Spiaggia bitch, a fucking Italian loser. ROFL!

  • lol reminds me of gundam seed

  • such a fucking ownage commercial.

  • fucking right it is.... very well thought commercial.....

  • This car is so awesome I wish I can have one :-)

  • The code panel!!!!! As long as you have

    The remote in your pocket, just touch the panel

    And the door will unlock.I have the same car

  • The code is 1378.

  • what if it's 2378? Or 2387, 2478, 1478, 1487, 2487 or 1387?

    It's a 5 digit code on the real cars anyway. Besides, I know you were joking so don't freack out.

  • This commercial is BAD-ASS.

  • If I see that dude and his car on the street, now I know the code to get in.lol

  • Lol

  • Call me crazy, but I want that Lincoln logo lights on the ceiling in my house. Seriously =)

  • Lol

  • yo e querido que se eliminen las llaves desde hace como 9 años

  • I drove the family up the wall with this commercial. I turned the volume way up. I just loved the sound and the starship look of it.

  • the song is major tom shiny toy guns, which is a cover of the david bowie original

  • algunos sonidos se me hacen semajantes a transformers

  • Fantastico

  • i bought the song to this commercial...its Major Tom by shiny toy guns

  • hey on the new lincoln Commercial what is the name of the song???

  • shiny toy guns - major tom

  • space oddity-david bowie

  • shiny toy guns - major tom

    although...

    it is actually DAVID fucking BOWIE - space oddity

  • is Lincoln a Gm's holding ?

  • Ford Motor Company

  • thanks

  • Only problem is that it has a damn slushbox for a gearbox. When the Americans realise people want manuals I'll support the demestic market.

  • Well, given that 96% of the cars sold in the US are automatics, I think the US automakers have it right. They save more money not offering it than the extra sales would have likely generated.

  • I agree with both of you but I also think that they should offer manuals in cars of this caliber. It's competition in America has manuals. The G37, BMW 3....etc

  • its a luxury sedan?...why would you want a manual sedan, go get a sports coupe. Most people who purchase luxury sedans do a lot of city driving and manuals get annoying in traffic. This isn't the the 1960's anymore the new automatic transmissions can even out perform manuals in many vehicles!

  • I find it easy in traffic even with manual. You can get a BMW 5 series with manual, and thats a step above this in luxury. This is supposed to be somewhat sporty, like what BMW is over Mercedes, this Lincon is supposed to be the BMW over Cadilac. Automatics can not out perform manuals even now, period. The auto cars that do, though, have manual gearboxes with electronicly controlled clutches, which is very different from a traditional automatic. NO American car has a gearbox like that.

  • @SuperleggeraVW this car is more reliable than your bmw and thats proven.

  • @NitroGadvRules How is it proven? Plus, my BMW? I don't own one and have no plans on buying one.

    I don't care how reliable this car is I would never buy one. The Cadillac CTS would be my first American choice for this type of car.

    I didn't even say BMW was more reliable... so I don't know why you said that.

    All new cars have similar reliability figures and I don't really like any of them, their too complicated. I'll just rebuild an old Dodge Ram Cummins and VW Beetle.

  • I agree with you. When I bought my last car the one feature that was crucial that it had to be a manual.  Not only am I European but also ever since my first manual Isuzu, I have never gone back to auto.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't a manual trans. cheaper to produce than an auto? I don't know why American companies don't market the manual more aggressively.

  • To many soccer moms I guess, its so easy to get your licence over here. I think North America has the worst drivers skill wise in the world, so manual is out of the question for most.

    When I go over there its a lot funner to drive, people actually follow rules, drivers comunicate, and as long as your in Fracne, Italy, Eastern Europe and of coarse Germany people don't freak out when you speed. When I went to Romania I could drive at ANY speed out in the country, just not in villages.

  • my dream car

  • this car looks pretty good, good to see American cars got something to take on imports

  • If you stop 0:23 it when it shows the speedometer it says that it gets 415 miles on a full tank. That's pretty dang good for a lux car.

  • heck yes LIGHTSPEED OPTIONS ARE NOW AVALIBLE!!!

  • lol the new commercials for Lincolns make them seem like the cool car now days, to me the older ones seem to be only for people 60+

  • shhhh you're ruining our economy

  • lol

    the cadillac cts i barely even American... maybe thats why its so good lol

  • What a cool ad...makes me want and go buy a Lincoln

  • The songs for the other commercials are Space oddity by David Bowie covered by Cat Power.

    The other song is Major Tom (Coming Home) by Peter Schilling.(The one with the high pitched voice.

  • No, its originally by Peter Schilling but covered by Shiny Toy Guns.

  • holy fuck!

  • How quaint. I like the push button combination lock for the doors. Do you think they know that to get into a Japanese car of comparable price you just have to have the key in your pocket? Man, are they way behind.

  • Actually there is a feature that if the Key Fob is in your pocket when you touch the security pad the door will just unlock.

  • Since when does grabbing a steering wheel make a sound?

  • that was the sound from starting the engine

  • 0:13 is the engine starting (which is also kinda ridiculous)...I'm talking about the sound at 0:19.

  • They make it out to be a light speed capable rocketship, and my little sister's V6 Toyo RAV 4 will walk away from one thru the 1/4 mi. Nice marketing. But, misleading.

  • lol RIGHTTTTT... you also posted on the other lincoln video: "Cool commercial, but Lincoln is making this Tank out to be a rocketship, and my wife's V6 Toyota RAV 4 will leave it in the dust. "

    Hmm, it seems your little sister is also your wife?

  • lol

  • I wouldn't say it's misleading, just creative. Plus, there's no way in hell that a Rav4 with a 3.5L V6 producing 269bhp can beat an MKS with a 3.7bhp V6 producing 275bhp or a 3.5L GTDI V6 producing 355bhp.

  • MKS 0-60 7.9-------1/4 mi 15.9@ 89

    RAV 4 V6 0-60 6.4-------1/4 14.8@ 95

    Motor Trend Mag. Pro Test Driver. The MKS weighs almost 4300lbs So, if a RAV 4 or ANY other car that runs a low 15 gets a jump on an MKS....it's a wave bye bye.

  • MKS gets to 60 in 7 secs flat not fast,but its not ment to be.Why even compare a shitty Rav 4 to the MKS.

  • It's a speed comparison. The Advertising is suggesting that the MKS is a light speed capable rocketship. Therefore it IS meant to be fast. So if Joe Schmuck goes out in his cool new, MKS rocketship and pulls up to a light next to my lil' sis in her RAV 4 V6. He's gonna be pissed when she jumps out in front and walks his candy ass.

  • Its not really misleading you know whats bad.C&D did a race of the Audi R8 vs E63 AMG wagon and the R8 got beat.That has nothin to do with the MKS or Rav4 but thats a similar situation.

  • That wagon runs like an escaped male Silverback Gorilla lookin' to rape something.

  • what is this song called?? anyone know??

  • why do you know it or something??

  • no, by "r u joking", i mean, i don't even hear a song in the commercial

  • got a question. does it really not require a key?! u just press a button? i mean not trying to criticize lincoln but could someone hack into the car?

  • I can hear at least 2 Starcraft sound clips.

  • I hear three. The button-clicky sound when the commerical opens, the Siege Tanks when the door open/closes, and the Vulture accelerating when the car starts driving.

  • I've noticed alot of star craft sounds being used over the years. another one I hear alot is the sound when marines die.

  • I want this car so bad its so amazing well Im sure when I get out of college and after 20 years of working they will have a cooler car!

  • awesome...this is like the best commercial. epic...

  • STARCRAFT~!

  • can someone tell me the name of the song

    cause my father likes it xD

  • the groups called "draft punk"

  • The group is actually called "Daft Punk". Awesome group with awesome music btw.

  • sorry.. what song? I don't hear any song in the commercial

  • first of all it's 'daft punk', and at what time is the song being played, cuz i have no idea if there's a song or not

  • As the world races toward peak oil production and the destabilisation of our planets climate have you noticed how the automobile corporations as still trying to sell unsustainable, unethical wants

  • It figures a canadian would come up with a comment like that.

  • I want a car that can go into Hyperspace! :D

  • awesome car! respect!

  • This is bloody brilliant ... Lincoln hired great ad people for this series of commercials. Well done.

  • All of those those cool features and you can still have a choice of driving stick.

  • sounds like starcraft

  • i wish my car actually sounded like that @ 0:23...it sounds way doper on tv then on here but either way it sounds badass

  • Whatever happened to wide whites, fender kirts & continental spares?

    It's not a Lincoln without em1

  • If Lincoln still did that,they wouldnt be selling any at all.Todays cars arent designed for the old farts who could barely read signs anymore.They are designing them for younger 20's 30's 40's and possibly early 50's.This is part of the reason why American cars dont sell.Ford,GM and Chrysler cant get out the past.This new MKS is a step up for Lincoln,and its about fucking time.That Town car has been out dated for 12 years now.

  • Did Lincoln time warp back to the 80s and 90s by using the push button code for entry, where people can see what you are pushing? Most modern remote entrys these days, just grab the door handle with fob in your pocket and it unlocks.

  • lol well dude it looks like they did return to the push button code entry where everyone can see what your typing. Now to solve that problem you just have to stand real close to the car when your doing that to cover up what your code is. Kinda like how you would cover up your test so the guy next to you couldn't copy lol

  • warp back? Ford Lincoln and Mercury never got arid of it, and its a good thing, my 99 Sable has it and I am glad, that way i can warm up my car in the winter and leave it locked or cool it in the summer. and best part I dont have to worry about locking my keys in my car ever.

  • How do they use hip hop to sell a product..

    there isnt any music its juss sound effects

  • They stole Toyota and Lexus ideas. Toyota had the smartkey engine start button, and Lexus had the moving headlight idea.

  • They didn't steal anything. Those technologies are going to be in all vehicles at somepoint and infact the majority of upper class cars have had it for a while.

  • they always use hip-hop to sell a product

  • ? where in this segment?

  • heyy smplytffny the title is technologic by daft punk!:]

  • they make it look so more badass than it really is. haha. now i want one. xD

  • ohmygawdd i search for this commercial ALL NIGHT i need the song titlee!

  • technologic

  • never mind. wrong commercial.

  • >.> the technologic one?

  • You mean this one:

    watch?v=3K-7Jm09rTI

  • i actually looked up this video to find the song, i've been searching for the title for over a year.

  • i wana know the song too lol

  • Is it me or does the rear look like a Maserati Quattroporte? Hell if Hyundai can get away with imitation, Lincoln can. Either way this is a very nice car.

  • ..what song is this?

  • Nice car. ^^

  • This is like a pilots car.

  • i want to be a pilot

  • Me too. Airline Pilot.

  • i have the lincoln mkx it is the same think except no shade and touch unlocker but i got that instaled

  • The MKX is definitely NOT the same as this car.....

  • This is just one of the new series of commercials by Lincoln. These commercials are just great. I also saw the one with a countdown to a launch. That one was just awesome. Can anyone upload it.

  • finaly less plastic

  • gorgeous.

  • And what on what basis do you make these claims? Should I take your word for it because your name is "Cardesigner"? Have you personally compared the Lincoln and the Caddy to your "superior" Euro rivals? I test drove alot of entry and mid level luxury cars and my two favorites were the 3-series and the CTS. Quality-wise the CTS was spot on. I agree that these brands were not competitive before, but this is not the case any longer. Read the reviews. Drive them. Sit in them. Educate yourself.

  • You're an idiot.

    I would drive a Lincoln or Cadillac over any foreign car ANY DAY!

    ESPEICALLY shit jap cars.. get a life.

  • don't buy american cars if you don't like...

  • First off...B.S.

    Secondly, at least learn how to form a sentence and use your spellchecker..

  • Its only been a few years that Lexus, Infiniti and Acura started competing globally, prior to 2006 All their cars were branded Toyota Nissan and Honda, check your facts, how well is Lexus or Infiniti doing in Europe? What in their own home market?
