Why is it the Ford is less expensive?
Less detail, more focus on efficiency. Lincolns are geared more for luxury and therefor have finer details toward comfort and beauty which of course cost more to produce.
Translate that to MLers and you have the finer details trimmed down to just the basics and not a whole hell of a lot geared toward fineness. You end up with functional, low cost MLers that of course could be improved on in probably every way but then they would cost more. Plain and simple economics.
