Granted, Lincolns don't have quite the build quality of a Lexus, but when he sees the stunning new interiors in the latest model Lincolns just about to hit the dealerships, I don't think he'll be complaining too much.
( In fact, by now, as the incoming boss, he has probably seen every one of them )

I don't see what the problem is for him. Doesn't Ford own Aston Martin?
So Mulally could drive an Aston Martin Vanquish, and then switch over to the Aston Martin Rapide when it comes out.
Hardly "step-downs" from the LS430.

OK, the LS460L will compete with the 745Li.

Thanks a lot. 
I don't consider what I did a step back. My Explorer Limited has a V8 (can't get the RX with one), has loads of room (rule out GX) and isn't a decade old (rule out LX). I like the RX, GX, LX, but I'm happy with my step from Lexus to Ford!
I don't rule out at a Lexus in the future though.

Minor correction on thread title:

The new guy is the CEO. Bill Ford is the Chairman.

Expect better things from ford in the future.

The newly named chief executive officer of Ford Motor Co. drives a Lexus LS 430, the flagship luxury sedan from Toyota Motor Corp. that he unabashedly says he purchased because "it's the finest car in the world."
He's also candid. He knows Lexus cars are better than anything currently in Ford's lineup, and he doesn't care if Ford employees or the media hear him say it out loud.

I love our LS430, but I don' think its best car in the world or its segment. I bought because it was the cheapest in its segment and a damn good value and my wife wanted some luxurious, comfortable, safe, and reliable and the Lexus fit the bill for the least ammount of money. I personally would have gotten an A8 for myself, but my wife cares nothing for driving dynamics and the LS suits both of our needs better....well more hers.
Hopefully Mulally can rescure Ford.

i remember seeing the video of the LS 430, AMCI said that its the finest luxury sedan in the world, if i remember correctly and its by far the quiestest car in the world according to their instruments. and that was the 2001 LS 430 I believe. but anywho, i really like the LS 430 some may say its bland but when i see a 04+ scroll down the road in black with the 18" spory wheels, my head follows the car, i just think its looks classy in that combo.
