The Lincoln Mark VIII made some waves when it debuted for 1993. Its rounded body was a sharp departure from the Fox-body-based Mark VII that came before it. The angled center stack gave the driver a cockpit-like feel behind the wheel, and under the hood was a new Ford 4.6-liter DOHC 32-valve V8 making 280 horsepower. It was also rather pricey, and by the end of the run in 1998, Mark VIII sales had plummeted.
