So it's been three years since the Lincoln Town Car stopped production, and consequently three years of head-scratching over the point of the Cadillac XTS and Lincoln's own MKT (more than three years in Lincoln's case), even after they continue to push livery versions. In Manhattan, I've seen a good number of Town Cars still going, along with GMT900 SUVs (Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon Denalis/Escalades) and a growing number of black W221s S550 4Matics, but really no XTS examples and only one MKT hearse conversion in beige (groans as it's read). Don't know much about other cities or how actual livery drivers feel, though.

Is there a new clear favorite for livery/limo drivers to beat to 200,000 miles and beyond?

According to the guy we go to for rentals the MKT is, in fact, the future of livery cars.

I do a fair amount of trips to the airport in livery cars for work. In recent years, i've stopped getting Towncars and have started getting a lot more black Avalons. They're spacious, quiet, and they don't look half bad. On bad days, I get black Camry Hybrids.

Whenever I'm in DC, however, the company my company hires for airport pickup uses S-Classes. I definitely prefer that!
