"Z" is last in the 26 English letters, and it is also the meaning of the finale, perhaps this is what Lincoln wants to express - the "sea, land and air" model matrix is just an appetizer, and the Lincoln Z that will play next is the "highlight".
As a classic American luxury brand, Lincoln Motors, which was given the "name of the president", originally had its unique identity status, and its influence in the United States was like that of Hongqi Motors in China. However, these two brands are a bit of "hindsight", sitting high on the Iron Throne, and in the early years, they did not have the intention of competing with a number of car brands.
However, with the vigorous development of the automotive industry, Lincoln will focus on the development of the huge Chinese market, with the slogan of "luxury has its own way", successively brought adventurers, navigators, aviators three SUVs, forming a "sea, land and air" camp, relying on the unique Quality of American luxury, causing a lot of pressure on the "traditional luxury valve" BBA. Next, Lincoln Motors took advantage of the victory and locked its eyes on the field of luxury mid-size cars.
