If nowadays you were to say that Lincoln, a company whose lineup consists only of crossovers (and one sedan for the Chinese market), suddenly made a Europeanized, rear-wheel-drive sports sedan - a competitor to BMW, Mercedes, and premium Japanese cars - no one would likely believe you. However, that's exactly what they did over 20 years ago. By the early '90s, Lincoln, whose lineup consisted mainly of large sedans and coupes, wasn't particularly interested in competing with its European and Japanese rivals. Compared to Cadillac, which took notice of Europeans back in the '70s and tried to catch up by releasing cars like the Seville, Cimarron, and later the Catera, models that, to put it mildly, did not enjoy the best reputation.
The only thing Lincoln rolled out against the Europeans was a rebadged Granada, sold as the Lincoln Versailles, which even then mainly competed with the Seville. But by the mid-'90s, watching the Europeans win almost every comparison test, along with slowly but surely winning out Lincoln’s buyers, Ford decided to make their move and roll out a response to the foreign sports sedans!
