New colours, including some interesting two-tone combinations, are the main new-year novelties for Town Car (well, that and the fact that soon it will be built in Canada). Otherwise it remains the same full-size, rear-drive luxury sedan with a tradition of a smooth ride and roomy comfort. Handling is better than you might think, though. Lincoln's long-time flagship sedan is also its highest-volume model, with high customer satisfaction and loyalty. Three trim series -- Signature Limited, Designer and long-wheelbase Signature L -- are available for retail customers (as opposed to the limo companies who buy these things by the thousands). A 239-hp 4.6-litre V8 is standard, driving the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic.
