Good luck with the Lincoln! I have the a similar situation and can totally relate to the feeling. We have to trade in ours next month for a pickup(gulp!). We need the pickup as we're moving from the city to the country and will need to haul a lot and need 4WD. I have always loved this car and the thought of getting half the MPG I am used to in the new truck makes me weep. Cannot ask for sympathy though, our second car is an Energi and we're keeping that thankfully.
