They are replaced by the "MKT Towncar" which is a totally different animal (better almost all the way around), but it's still a ginormous sedan if that's what you're looking for.
No offense, but the Lincoln MKT is not a sedan in the traditional way, or even the modern way. The MKT is plugged in to the model lineup by Lincoln as a replacement for the Town Car because it is of sufficient size for the limo trade. But, the MKT is a full size luxury suv, larger than just about any non-pickup truck vehicle in the Ford lineup, excepting the Navigator, and it looks like a stylish, though overgrown, station wagon. But a sedan? Sorry, but no way.
