Toyota Mark X (sorry if repost I searched)

 

Uncanny plagiarism of a Lincoln's name.

 

Welcome to 2004.

 

The Toyota has been on sale since 2004.

 

Lincoln Mark II's,III's, IV's,V's....VIII's have been on sale since the beginning of time.

 

The first Toyota Mk-II came out in August 1968 , the Mk-X is the 9th(10th?) gen of this line.

Continental Mk-II came out a decade earlier though.

 

I don't see any RL, and this is from someone who sees the Accord in the RL.

 

I think it looks better than the RL

 

Will the Mark X replace the Avalon?

 

Mk-X is an entry level luxury RWD sedan. There is no room for this kind of car in the current American Toyota line-up.

 

Lincoln's use of the 'Mark' name predates my own birth by more than a decade.

 

 

...barely if at all resembles anything of the RL

 

i see how the rear lights and slope of the rear resemble the rl.

but then again, i'm one that thought the es350's front resembled the rl too.

 

 

Good god, these crossovers are EVERYWHERE...

 

<--likes the Lincoln

 

I had a '79 MkV that was identical to this one, except mine was lowered. I also had a green '77 but it was a piece of shit.

 

I had a mechanic who claimed to have 400,000 miles on his. It was almost exactly like the one above. He said that the only real problem he had was with the timing chain. Those cars were before being pimp was cool.

 

Looks a lot like what the 3rd gen TL would have ended looking like if the American design studio didnt win.
