The new Lincoln Town Car is the only game in town if you are in the market for a large, American rear-wheel-drive V8 luxury car, at least until Cadillac converts the DeVille and Seville back to rear-wheel-drive in a couple of years. The Town Car remains the vehicle of choice for limousine services and for traditional buyers who want lots of room and a soft and quiet ride. But the changes for the 2003 model year enhance this car's appeal to businessmen and women who need to carry lots of people and cargo but who also enjoy the driver's seat. Repeat buyers and lessees of Executive and Signature Town Cars will love the new car because it's so much nicer, quieter and easier to drive than the previous model. Airport and limousine companies will love the Cartier L, especially, for its roominess and improvements in the rear compartment. But buyers looking for technical sophistication in a luxury sedan may find themselves looking elsewhere.
