Lincoln Vs. Cadillac

You know it! XLR is out, hes running far away! I would have guessed he would have had a great influence on the cadis side! But he bailed like all the rest of cadi owners!
 
Who's got the bigger trunk? The number of dead bodies you can tote away from the scene of this thread is going to be a major determining factor.
 
Dude have you ever seent the trunk in a 78 Coupe Deville

Now lets talk about the reasons we buy cars. Dependability, integrity, warranty, style, resale value, forefront of technology, power, speed. Have I mentioned anything that Cadillac's haven't won on? OK I'll keep going. Let's mention things like benchmark for the world.

When you talk about the quality of something, you don't say "Hey man I just bought the Lincoln of computers." You say The Cadillac of computers or whatever. Why do you suppose that is?

This could go on and on forever so I'll stop and let another Caddi owner take over.

Looks the the trash talk :gr_devil: in the "Best Looking Cadillac" Contest is spilling blood all over. :fight:

What I do like is the Sleeping Giant has awaken. The Caddy drivers are coming to life. It has seemed that the biggest difference between the two drivers are that the Lincoln Drivers post more often and are more active :p in the general forums.

Also It seems that Lincoln drivers are more active in taking their rides to the track. :steering Look at the time slips.

:dj: Now what about songs - Hit song for Lincolns - Hot Rod Lincoln - Hit song for Cadillacs - The Beep Beep Song - A song about a Nash Rambler smoking a Cadillac in second gear.

Now the issue of value. I would rather pay less for more than more. Cadillacs may hold their value. :iconcur: But it's the price of the Lincoln that allows me to buy 2 Marks in one month and not worry about taking out a second mortage. Now when I drive down the street I look like I paid a lot but the warm feeling is I saved a ton! :givemebee

Just tell them the truth; Lincoln owners have a bigger pipe :eek2:
 
You guys crack me up. Just for the record that's a great looking Mark you have mdnitedrftr. Tough, style, black, nice stance.

Yea, just yesterday. There is one for sale in my area, and I stopped to see the asking price. You ever see the trunk of a Mark IV? They are certainly close. :D
 
Ok how about a early 70's fleetwood ? So what was the price on the Coupe. What kind of shape is it in. I'd love to own one again.

It was $2000. Looked really nice, and the interior looks almost brand new! But upon closer inspection the boddy has severe cancer in several places. It's a shame to see that kinda rust, because I know it could have been saved a long time ago.
 
It took cadillac three years to catch up with Lincolns Navigator and LS. They made a bold step with their new models cts,rvw,tgk, or whatever...but how are they going to answer the new Lincoln Zepher, Aviator, Mark LT, and I hope Continental with the kissing doors? Like I've said before, caddies are sexy, but so are prostitutes.
 
2004 Lincoln Navigator
5.4L 300 HP
Power ~ 300@5000rpm
Torque ~ 355@2750rpm
Weight ~ 5995
1/4 Time ~ 17.1
1/4 MPH ~ 83

Cadillac Escalade
5.3L 285 HP
Power ~ 285@5200rpm
Torque ~325@4000rpm
Weight ~ 5571
1/4 Time ~ 17.6
1/4 MPH ~ 78
 
Dude. where did you get these numbers from? How about

Escalade
6.0L H.O. Vortec 6000 V8 (AWD)
345 hp @ 5,200 rpm / 380 lb-ft @ 4,000 rpm

Navigator
5.4L 32 valve DOHC V-8 300 hp and 355 lb ft of torque

I have every GM press kit released since 95. If you need correct information let me know.

Codewise, he was using the 5.3L on the 2WD Escalade. You are quoting the 6.0L AWD. Both are correct, it just depends on which one you want to compare.
 
:bsflag: Does anyone have a heads up comparison of the Navigator vs escalade featuring ride handling, creature comforts, customer satisfaction etc.?
 
Why would you compare the low end side of two High End named vehicles. Seems clear to me that the caddy does slightly edge out the lincoln on that one. Both are very nice rides indeed.

I'll take one of each please.
 
He didn't say he wanted the top end of the deal. Base line gives a very good comparision. Alothough if you do plan to get the upgraded model. Cadi does up the Hp marks. . .
