Wow. Who woulda thunkit, especially those among whom I would describe as great thunkers? I think even great ponderers of Deep Things would never have foreseen the expansion of the enormous Butt in American luxury cars to now include two legendary marques, who have been engaged in mortal combat for nearly a century. If you recall (or better yet, scroll down and read Does This Butt Make My Car Look Fat?  below) I stated something along the lines that the new Cadillac SRX has a rather bodacious butt. It’s huge, man. It dominates the styling of the vehicle, unless you stand right in front of it. That said, even when stationed directly in front of the sucker you can sense there’s an Ass the Won’t Quit stalking you. In the words of the late Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, it’s like the mark of a great nude painting when the bottoms follow you around the room.  

In a direct response to this bold, bombastic backside, Ford’s Lincoln division has responded with their Lincoln MKT, which also has some big-ass boom in the basement. It’s based on the Ford Flex platform, which is basically a shoebox on wheels so it really doesn’t resemble the Lincoln version in the styling department. The Flex is buttless, the MKT is totally a BFD in the BBB. Hey, the SRX is fine, but check the cheeky styling on the big Lincoln. I said it before and I’ll say it again: It’s huge, man. What’s going on here?
