That's what I thought. Active Handling AWD.

Unless you're really doing off-roading I don't see the need for that level of tech, it's just stuff to break.

My Encore goes into 50/50 AWD when starting off and that gets me through any snow I need to get through.

Yeah, but they're not continuing with Continental in a few years and the MKZ will probably go when the Fusion dies. That makes Lincoln an all SUV brand. 

That still doesn't have anything to do with Lincoln being on their own or not. Cars or SUVs.

Lincoln has more of it's own say in the content of their vehicles, but no, they won't be a separated company from Ford and will still use Ford platforms.

Of course they won't do that. They would need to sell ten times what they are now to even consider separation and even then they wouldn't because it doesn't make financial sense.
