Being a luxury car is not about having all kinds of stupid widgets or 10 billion horsepower, its about having style, beauty, class, comfort, and yet being very reliable. Considering how repulsively ugly cars are in this age, this Towncar has maintained its classic beauty very well. And it is by far the most reliable luxury car. 400,000 miles no sweat. These Cadillacs and Chryslers with their smartkey, remote start, Onstar, GPS, are so ridiculous. Oh and FWD is a joke.
Why are people whining about these being discontinued. They're outdated as hell and nobody buys them! Sorry to break this to you but ford isn't going to bother to update or keep making a car that nobody buys! It had a long run but its over. If you think they're so damn great then you buy one!
Ford is making a huge mistake with the discontinuation of the Panther Platform; an easy source of money in the past is dried up and America is without the large, V8, RWD sedans that defined what a car from this country used to be!
I have a Signature Limited also. Mine is a 2005. The exterior and interior are two tone with factory navigation & sunroof, chrome door trim and special chrome wheels. Amazing ride. Love this car...
Ford is making a mistake phasing these out to focus on younger buyers with cars like MKZ. This is the last traditional RWD luxury car left. They should have just made a "performance" version of this by borrowing a detuned Mustang cobra engine (like Mark 8s), firmer suspension, and a console in the front instead of bench seats. The buyer who is not yet 60 might have gone for it.
As nice as the 2011 Lincoln Town Car looks, it does seem a bit behind the times, and maybe it's for the best they are discontinuing it. Only a 4-speed automatic? No remote keyless start? Only an auto-down power window like my 2011 Ford Focus, not all windows being fully automatic? Yeah, best to let this one go.
You have these obnoxious boy teenagers (16-21) driving Honda's with loud exhausts and adding distasteful exterior modifications or their American V8 Muscle's with Flowmaster exhaust systems, but there's me. I would definitely not mind driving something like this. This is the pinnacle of cars that can be considered the best of the best in US history.
@G0Far Same here. All that stupid tuning and overpowered audio in those civics drive me nuts. Totally unprofessional. It also shows their mature state.
@joseph591 Yes, and the audio systems are not even that good. They're from JVC or JBL; odds are is that they bought it used. Truthfully, it also shows the place they work at (Wells Fargo isn't going to hire some douche that drives a ricer Civic). They all work at McDonalds or Burger King. When I arrive at my job, I want people to get the image that I'm what they want; professional and non-obnoxious.
@G0Far Wow, you sound like a real exciting person...
Most of the people who drive the cars you're talking about wouldn't want to work at a place like Wells Fargo, myself included. Boring ass bank...
Not that I have anything against Town Cars and Crown Vics. I'm sad to see the Panther cars go. I think my next daily driver may be a Crown Vic police interceptor. Cop motor, cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks... sounds good to me.
@rickrossthebosz Reminds me of how a Ferrari or Land Rover works. You cannot rely on them as daily drivers. Whereas this Town Car or a W163 ML500 can get you from coast to coast over and over again without any issues. Money doesn't buy reliability, it merely buys name brands and performance.
@G0Far You've got good taste my man. I'm 16, and I wanted a Cadillac for my first. Not to ruin it with rimz and out of this world stereos. Just to have a smooth riding car, that's also potent when it's needed.
@theteacuphead it dose not give you 8.5mpg, you would have to reset the option where it shows you the MPG and drive around so it could get the real MPG. Mines give me 16.2 mpg in the city.
@Jakeman2164 This is the same engine the Mustang had in it before Ford put the 5.0 in it. That powerplant had 300 HP so yes they can get better power out of it, but they don't.
Sometimes, change isn't needed; the Ford Panther Platform is definitely one of those cases; excellent body-on-frame construction, styling hearkening back to a bygone era, etc. These truly were the last true American sedans; I'm going to miss column-shifters and bench seating in sedans, as well as actually turning a key to start a vehicle among other low-tech solutions. I may be a bit on the younger side compared to average buyers of these cars, but I can definitely appreciate the classics! :-D
My 99 F-150 has the same engine with more TQ and basically the same HP. Ford should improve, the key fob is also exactly as old as my 10 year old truck.
Its nice for those who have owned past town cars, but now its falling behind competition.
WHATTTTTTTTT!!! THEY'RE DISCONTINUING THE TOWN CAR?!?! FORD WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!? YOU LET GO OF LAND ROVER, JAGUAR, ASTON MARTIN, MERCURY, THE MARK LT, THE RANGER, THE THUNDERBIRD, THE EXCURSION, THE BRONCO, THE ESCORT, AND THE ZEPHYR!!! They were all beautiful cars!
@yamahonkawazuki I know, i was telling someone else the engine was already warm because the person told him to let the car warm up but its already warm...
Really, Lincoln? It's 2011, and you STILL haven't upgraded your Town Car? I agree with XxAtomic646xX, the 2011 Town Car looks just like the old models! In fact, it also kind of looks a lot like the 2000 Continental my mom's friend use to have back in the old days!
@XxAtomic646xX some of the things in the car have been unchanged since 1998, but the rest has slowly changed; 2003 new front end design and seats with enhanced internals, 2006 better output and tachometer w/ improved OD, 2007 better safety, 2009 recessed window switches, 2010 new VINS and better computer, 2011 better safety with larger headrests, 2012 last model year, discontinued in August.
@XxAtomic646xX They're completely different. 1990-1994 had similar style. Then 1995-1997 was the same, then 1998-2002 had pretty much the same style. 2003-2011 when they stopped making them, as he said in the video, stayed pretty much the same with very little changes.
Oh, I am CRACKING up now. People praise the engines in these things. Are you fricking serious? Only an American company could manage to get such a small amount of power out of a V8. Subaru has a more powerful FOUR cylinder, and Lexus gets in the high 300s with HP on the 4.6 in the LS.
That's not the point of these engines. These engines are a very old design, and are primitive compared to today's engines. But on the flipside, they are very durable and easy to work on, that's why these cars are popular in taxi and police fleets.
@techluvr1234 These engines are fantastic motors and fit the car well. They have a decent amount of torque, so they can keep the revs low. Keeping the MPGs high and the noise low. If you drive these cars right, you can get almost 30 MPG. Which can give the car an almost 600 mile cruising range in complete comfort.
I really like 6-passenger American cars. Sad that manufacturers are stopping the poduction of these cars.
I always wonder the quality of Town Cars, especially mechanically, the drivetrain. I read the quality of Lincolns are not that high, in respect to the price tag they carry.
Crown Victoria is a reliable and durable car. Everybody knows this. As I searched over the internet, Town Cars don't have as much quality as Crown Vics. Is it true? I really wonder other people's opinions.
@MultiAustin11 Mercury Grand Marquis & Ford Crown Victoria proudly made in Canada for over 26 years, Lincoln Town Car made in Canada from 2009-2011....
@Corkoth55 no I do not work at a ford dealer I work at a used car dealer lot. and Vettefreak was an old username I came up with back in jr. high because I enjoyed Corvettes back then.
Wow it is so weird that this car sounds EXACTLY like our 1999 Crown Victoria LX. I thought over they years they would sound a bit different but nope, still sounds the same. I found it kind of funny. And nice review man! I do have a request though. Could you make a video on a 2010 or 2011 Ford Crown Victoria??
WARNING KYLE! The 4.6 in the Town Car is NOT modular. The 4.6 in the Avaitor a few Mustangs and some other assorted Fords is though. The modular engine is a 4 valve per engine while most other 4.6 engines are 2 or 3 vlave. I wish the modular engine was offered in all 4.6 Fords but it doesnt matter now that we have the 5.0. Thanks for another great vid of a car we will all be sad to loose. Haha this bodystyle is older then me 1992-2011.
@yellowcow13 1998-2011 to be correct. The early 90's body style was directed towards the 80's body style,and modern look, but still was recognizable as a town car.
If you look it up, the town car was a type of vehicle near the turn of the century that had a particular passenger/driver cabin layout. While the Lincoln Town Car has little to do with this, it does carry the luxury associated with the older town cars.
i really dont understand why lincoln doesnt update this car. I have a 2000 audi a6 and it has more technology than this. Lincoln could really make this car nice by using design elements that Audi uses in the A8. it would really make this car stand out a lot more
Because Lincoln/Ford isn't Audi; they have continuously employed tradition and contemporary styling for these vehicles. It's a shame to see them go, but the Panther Platform has stood the test of time well! :-D
I don't see why everyone say's these are "pre-historic?" The only "real" luxury this car doesn't have that other luxury cars have is navigation and a "between the seats" console shifter.
Best off all, these look 100x better than most luxury cars, too.
Who the heck would pay $50k + for a car that inside and out looks and feels like it came from early 90's? And the technology inside it isn't much newer either. I mean, I understand that Lincoln wants to keep this car on market because there are older people who would like a simple old fashioned car, but come on, it costs more than MKZ and MKS and compared to that its like a pre-historic piece of crap. Oversized too, even though it CAN'T comfortably seat 6 adults, unless 2 of them are midgets.
Screw what people say about this car, it may be outdated but older people LOVE these cars, their big good on gas for a large car, and simple yet elegant luxury touches that older people want. Not to mention the ride is great in these cars.
I'm gonna miss seeing this and the crown Vic in ny and nj. Too bad that their getting replaced with the shitty v6 powered ford taurus and ford transit
@sonic3243 If they're not selling then any smart company will can it from the production line, no petition will help. Either a company makes something that nobody wants and goes bankrupt putting a ton of people out of a job or they update and innovate and profit from that.
You can still buy a P71 CV which are bulletproof reliable and cheap to run.
@7477238 you can buy used P71s, and they certainly are bulletproof and cheap to run -- except for gas lol but that's not the point. 2010-2012 Crown Victoria Police Interceptors have P7B in the VIN instead of P71, gov't mandate, and the 2011-2012 Panthers have larger headrests, I think are more comfortable.
And the CV and TC sold excellent; CV being popular among police, taxis, and rental car companies while the TC popular among luxury-taxis, airport shuttles, and more importantly limousines.
@Oxyquatzal7 comfortable, quiet, well-built, lasts for hundreds of thousands of miles (300,000+ average w/ regular tuneups), relatively snappy (the horsepower lies, they have more than adequate performance, especially the police interceptor), and has styling that fits the job they're designed for.
@sonic3243 You have some valid points, but some may argue that it is archaic; it has gone relatively unchanged for several years, it uses out-of-date technology and it cannot keep up with some of its so-called competitors in terms of luxury.
Weird... Some of your videos don't show up on my homepage! It is now for a week, and every video after the revisit of the 2000 Jeep, just isn't there! Now it's not a problem since I follow your facebook-page and I go to your channel, but it's strange, isn't it?
One of my favourite Lincolns...Nice. Kyle, I hope you don't take this as offense and you don't block me over this but could you spruce up your intro to the cars every now and then.. There's a lot of copycats here that memorize your script down to an art.
I second that. I had two BMWs that drove wonderfully, but it got really old to be constantly pouring money into them. No matter how much money I spent fixing things, something else would break immediately thereafter. Both had less than 80,000 miles on them. Since then, I've owned two V8-powered Fords with absolutely no issues. I still love BMWs, but from now on, I'll only buy them new.
these things are slick, sad to see no new redesign. one of my grandmas has 4 or 5 generations of these throughout the course of my lifetime. im just curious what will be the new choice of taxi's and police cars in the future?????
@ratmtbola I think they could have continued this with the same philosophy behind it if they put the new 5.0 into it and actually did a good refresh. then it would be a more worthy choice
@ratmtbola i thumbs down your comment , other cars a bad joke compared to these, I see alot of these fords (crown victoria, grand marquis, town car same shit!) hit over 500k miles no problem, they look bad on paper ,but were built to last, almost any new bmw , mercedes, etc is just a garage queen by 80k miles they start falling apart , but the owner's rich enough to buy a new one by than time!.
@iGaRaai90 I agree that these Town Cars / Crown Vics are pretty reliable, even though your statement that they hit 500k miles with 'no problem' is a little exaggerated. But that still doesn't change the fact that the Town Car is a bad joke compared to other luxury vehicles. A 10 year old E-Class got more luxury and tech features than this brand new Town Car. And your statement that BMW's and Mercedes' start falling apart after 80k miles is way exaggerated as well.
@ratmtbola let me be clear here the reliability of these other luxury cars is pathetic, I've replaced numerous engine's in bmw's 5 and 7 series with less than 80k on them , many more electrical issue's aswell, my buddy and ford says the crown vics, and town cars they ever see just need oil changes many with 500k miles, original drivertrain. But for the same price as this lincoln you can own a bmw , audi, and mercedez of same size since they are more advanced to be considered same class...
more hp, more safety features I'll agree in terms of features this car is a bad joke , but I'd still rather own this than a lexus, bmw, audi , you name it . the advantage here is that its the same car(platfrom) they introduced in 19
Thank's, do you know what car will replace the Town car ??

Oh, I am CRACKING up now. People praise the engines in these things. Are you fricking serious? Only an American company could manage to get such a small amount of power out of a V8. Subaru has a more powerful FOUR cylinder, and Lexus gets in the high 300s with HP on the 4.6 in the LS.

That's not the point of these engines. These engines are a very old design, and are primitive compared to today's engines. But on the flipside, they are very durable and easy to work on, that's why these cars are popular in taxi and police fleets.

@techluvr1234 These engines are fantastic motors and fit the car well. They have a decent amount of torque, so they can keep the revs low. Keeping the MPGs high and the noise low. If you drive these cars right, you can get almost 30 MPG. Which can give the car an almost 600 mile cruising range in complete comfort.

I really like 6-passenger American cars. Sad that manufacturers are stopping the poduction of these cars.
I always wonder the quality of Town Cars, especially mechanically, the drivetrain. I read the quality of Lincolns are not that high, in respect to the price tag they carry.
Crown Victoria is a reliable and durable car. Everybody knows this. As I searched over the internet, Town Cars don't have as much quality as Crown Vics. Is it true? I really wonder other people's opinions.

WARNING KYLE! The 4.6 in the Town Car is NOT modular. The 4.6 in the Avaitor a few Mustangs and some other assorted Fords is though. The modular engine is a 4 valve per engine while most other 4.6 engines are 2 or 3 vlave. I wish the modular engine was offered in all 4.6 Fords but it doesnt matter now that we have the 5.0. Thanks for another great vid of a car we will all be sad to loose. Haha this bodystyle is older then me 1992-2011.

@yellowcow13 1998-2011 to be correct. The early 90's body style was directed towards the 80's body style,and modern look, but still was recognizable as a town car.

If you look it up, the town car was a type of vehicle near the turn of the century that had a particular passenger/driver cabin layout. While the Lincoln Town Car has little to do with this, it does carry the luxury associated with the older town cars.

Because Lincoln/Ford isn't Audi; they have continuously employed tradition and contemporary styling for these vehicles. It's a shame to see them go, but the Panther Platform has stood the test of time well! :-D

I don't see why everyone say's these are "pre-historic?" The only "real" luxury this car doesn't have that other luxury cars have is navigation and a "between the seats" console shifter.
Best off all, these look 100x better than most luxury cars, too.
DizzyMan24 3 months ago 4
Who the heck would pay $50k + for a car that inside and out looks and feels like it came from early 90's? And the technology inside it isn't much newer either. I mean, I understand that Lincoln wants to keep this car on market because there are older people who would like a simple old fashioned car, but come on, it costs more than MKZ and MKS and compared to that its like a pre-historic piece of crap. Oversized too, even though it CAN'T comfortably seat 6 adults, unless 2 of them are midgets.

@7477238 you can buy used P71s, and they certainly are bulletproof and cheap to run -- except for gas lol but that's not the point. 2010-2012 Crown Victoria Police Interceptors have P7B in the VIN instead of P71, gov't mandate, and the 2011-2012 Panthers have larger headrests, I think are more comfortable.
And the CV and TC sold excellent; CV being popular among police, taxis, and rental car companies while the TC popular among luxury-taxis, airport shuttles, and more importantly limousines.

@Oxyquatzal7 comfortable, quiet, well-built, lasts for hundreds of thousands of miles (300,000+ average w/ regular tuneups), relatively snappy (the horsepower lies, they have more than adequate performance, especially the police interceptor), and has styling that fits the job they're designed for.
Crown Vic -- taxi, police, rental car
Town Car -- limousine, luxury taxi
sonic3243 3 months ago
@sonic3243 You have some valid points, but some may argue that it is archaic; it has gone relatively unchanged for several years, it uses out-of-date technology and it cannot keep up with some of its so-called competitors in terms of luxury.

I second that. I had two BMWs that drove wonderfully, but it got really old to be constantly pouring money into them. No matter how much money I spent fixing things, something else would break immediately thereafter. Both had less than 80,000 miles on them. Since then, I've owned two V8-powered Fords with absolutely no issues. I still love BMWs, but from now on, I'll only buy them new.

iGaRaai90 3 months ago
@iGaRaai90 I agree that these Town Cars / Crown Vics are pretty reliable, even though your statement that they hit 500k miles with 'no problem' is a little exaggerated. But that still doesn't change the fact that the Town Car is a bad joke compared to other luxury vehicles. A 10 year old E-Class got more luxury and tech features than this brand new Town Car. And your statement that BMW's and Mercedes' start falling apart after 80k miles is way exaggerated as well.
ratmtbola 3 months ago
@ratmtbola let me be clear here the reliability of these other luxury cars is pathetic, I've replaced numerous engine's in bmw's 5 and 7 series with less than 80k on them , many more electrical issue's aswell, my buddy and ford says the crown vics, and town cars they ever see just need oil changes many with 500k miles, original drivertrain. But for the same price as this lincoln you can own a bmw , audi, and mercedez of same size since they are more advanced to be considered same class...
