When analysts and industry insiders are asked the question How did Lincoln do in 2009? They tend to be somewhat ambivalent. The problem with answering a question such as How did Lincoln do in 2009 is that luxury car makers in general were affected by a strange combination of factors that started in late 2007 or even before.

This trend continued in 2009 with Lincoln receiving Ford's EcoBoost V6.
