Lincoln

Ford's luxury car division Lincoln was part of the Premier Auto Group as well in the late 1990s, but was pulled out in 2002 as part of Ford's marketing strategy to separate its "import" marques from its domestic ones. During the creation of PAG, Lincoln's line-up received a complete overhaul, beginning with the 1998 redesign of the Lincoln Town Car. The same year also saw the introduction of the Lincoln Navigator SUV and in 2000 the Lincoln LS, which shares its engine with the Jaguar S-Type, was introduced. All three cars were designed in Irvine, California, and were according to many critics heavily influenced by Jaguar design themes^[1]. In both years 1998 and 2000 Lincoln was the best selling luxury car brand in the US. After Cadillac surged back into the market in 2002, however, Ford pulled Lincoln out of the PAG in what is according to Jerry Flint of Forbes Magazine an "impossible to make sense out of... strategy."

Rover

On September 18th 2006, Ford announced their buying of the Rover brand name from BMW. As part of Ford's initial buying of Land Rover in 2000, Ford had the option to veto the sale of the Rover name by BMW to any other company.
