I guess the same might apply to Dave of Palm Springs (and certainly there must be some explanation for the remaining Chevvies Fords Dodges et al on the roads in Cuba).
In his case the Mercs seem to be the preferred choice however and a crossover CLK is one of their new models I believe.
(saw a Lincoln Continental stretched limo. parked last week - how appropriate that I was in Lincoln's Inn at the time!)

I don't know what it is about the Benz, but I seem to be addicted - just like my speedos. I really am partial to German handling of cars. I did look at the new Lincoln Hybrid and was impressed with the car -- except the ride and handling weren't as tight as I like.
However -- you mentioned a Lincoln Limo. Without a doubt, they are the best limos on the road. The ride and comfort is fantastic and seating leaves lots of room for relaxing or ..... well you get the idea. Rode in one of the Hummer Limos once and will admit it was easier to get in and out of, it just didn't have the class or luxury of Lincoln.
To tie the two subjects together -- my last ride in a limo I was wearing a tux, black and conservative, with a bright red nylon Aussiebum for underwear. (I always christen a new car with a ride in nothing bot a speedo)
PS Yes, the CLK is the small SUV/crossover. I liked the R class (really nice crossover) but the convenience of the the smaller (size and price) one was more suited to my need for a practical second car.
