Lincoln Town Car lives on--as the MKT

Lincoln is not forsaking the world of limos. That means if you're planning a wedding, bachelor party or even a birthday bash that requires a chauffeur, the MKT is in your future.

Lincoln is winding down production of the venerable Town Car this year, and as expected, an MKT will replace it. Interestingly, the familiar name will live on: The limo will be called the MKT Town Car.

It will be available in base and stretch models, with all-wheel drive as an option. The larger version is stretched 10 feet.

Sync, wireless Internet and a backup camera will be among the tech goodies.

Lincoln says the proportions and stance of the MKT will offer better entry and exit capability compared with those of the old Town Car, which was based off a decades-old sedan platform.
