question: What car was the predecessor of the vehicle that the Lincoln car larger than the Lincoln MKT was based on?
answer: Ford Bronco
context: Title: Ford Mondeo (second generation)
  Passage: The Ford Mondeo MK III (second generation) model was launched by Ford in October 2000.  This Mondeo was considerably larger than its predecessor, and although Ford abandoned its New Edge design theme for the second generation, it was their first vehicle to fully benefit from the Prodigy concept car.  This gave it an overall effect which many critics felt was more restrained and mature, if much less distinctive.  Two of the old car's biggest weaknesses, the modest rear legroom, and uncompetitive diesel version were addressed by a longer wheelbase and the new Duratorq diesel engine.  The basic chassis and suspension design was carried over from the previous generation, which meant that the car continued its predecessor's reputation for class leading handling and ride.  This Mondeo came to Mexico, replacing the North American built Ford Contour, and was sold from 2001 to 2007, when the Ford Fusion replaced it.  The North American market Fusion and Ford Five Hundred/Taurus sported very similar styling, inside and out.
  Title: MKT Trail
  Passage: The MKT Nature and Fitness Trail is a recreational rail trail in Columbia, Missouri, that runs nine miles (14 km) in the right-of-way of the former Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad.  MKT is an acronym for Missouri-Kansas-Texas. Developed from 1982 onward, it is a spur of the longest rail trail in the United States, the Katy Trail.  It is open for use by hikers, joggers, and cyclists year-round, from sunrise to sunset, with snow covering in the winter offering users cross-country skiing opportunities.  The trail is made up of "limestone pug" (crushed limestone), creating a hard, flat surface.  The trail follows Flat Branch Creek and Hinkson Creek for much of their distance and is part of a larger system of recreational pathways in the Columbia Metropolitan Area.
  Title: Ford Explorer
  Passage: The Ford Explorer is a full-size sport utility vehicle produced by the American manufacturer Ford Motor Company since 1990, based since 2010 on a crossover platform.  The Ford Explorer became one of the most popular sport utility vehicles on the road.  The model years 1991 through 2010 were traditional body-on-frame, mid-size SUVs. For the 2011 model year, Ford moved the Explorer to a more modern unibody, full-size crossover SUV platform, the same Volvo-derived platform the Ford Flex and Ford Taurus use although with significantly greater ground clearance.  It is slotted between the traditional body-on-frame, full-size Ford Expedition and the mid-size CUV (Crossover Utility Vehicle) Ford Edge.  Although outwardly similar, the fifth generation Explorer, Ford Edge and Ford Escape do not share platforms.  The fifth generation Explorer does, however, share platforms with the Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT.
  Title: Lincoln MKT
  Passage: The Lincoln MKT is a full-size luxury crossover SUV built and marketed by the Ford Motor Company's Lincoln Motor Company division since the 2010 model year.  The MKT (the "T" stands for Touring) was introduced as Lincoln's second crossover in the lineup, slotted above the Lincoln MKX mid-size crossover and below the larger Ford Expedition-based Lincoln Navigator full-size sport utility vehicle.  Sharing a common platform with the Ford Flex, the MKT does not have a direct predecessor.  Instead, the MKT and smaller MKX both serve as replacements of the Lincoln Aviator, as the division moved into the luxury crossover market.
  Title: Mercury XM-800
  Passage: The Mercury XM-800 is a concept car that was created by Mercury and first introduced at the 1954 Chicago Auto Show.  The XM 800 then traveled the US auto show circuit throughout the 1954 season.  Although it was promoted by Ford as an "advanced design, engineered to go into volume production”, the XM 800 never passed the concept phase.  In 1957 Ford gifted the XM 800 to the University of Michigan's Automotive Engineering Lab for use in training "future" automotive engineers.  This car was designed by John Najjar.  Mr. Najjar was the most famous designer of the Ford Motor Company and was responsible for not only the 1954 Mercury XM-800 but was also responsible for the 1955 Lincoln Futura show car and the mid-engine Ford Mustang I experimental sports car of 1962.  Much of the car's appearance were used on the Lincoln Premiere, Lincoln Capri, Mercury Montclair, Ford Crown Victoria, and other Ford and Mercury products during the mid-1950s.

The Lincoln MKS continues Lincoln's three-letter nomenclature for new models, preceded by the MKZ, MKT, and MKX, and followed by the MKC.

  Title: Lincoln Continental
  Passage: The Lincoln Continental is a series of luxury cars produced by Lincoln, a division of the American automaker Ford Motor Company.  First introduced in 1939 as a coachbuilt convertible, which would spawn the personal luxury car segment, the nameplate has been in use by Lincoln at various times for more than 75 years.  In the Lincoln model line, the Continental has served various roles, ranging from the top-trim sedan to the base-trim sedan.  Through its production, the Lincoln Continental has been produced in several bodystyles, including two-door and four-door convertibles, two-door and four-door hardtops and sedans, and two-door coupes.  The Lincoln Continental is the final American car factory-produced as a four-door convertible or with a V12 engine.
  Title: Ford Expedition
  Passage: The Ford Expedition is a fullsize SUV that is made by Ford Motor Company.  Introduced for the 1997 model year as the successor of the Ford Bronco, the Expedition is the first full-size Ford SUV sold with a four-door body.  For its entire production life, the Ford Expedition has been derived from the corresponding generation of the Ford F-150 in production, sharing body and mechanical components.  Currently in its third model generation, a fourth-generation Ford Expedition is slated to enter production for the 2018 model year.  Similar to the configuration of the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, the Ford Expedition is sold in regular and extended lengths (the Ford Expedition EL/Max); sold since 2007, the latter functionally serves as the replacement for the Ford Excursion.
  Title: Lincoln Town Car
  Passage: The Lincoln Town Car is a model line of full-size luxury sedans that was marketed by the Lincoln division of the American automaker Ford Motor Company from 1981 to 2011.  Deriving its name from a style of limousine, "Town Car" translated in French is the term "Sedan de Ville" (the Cadillac rival to the Lincoln Continental from the 1950s to the 1990s).  The Town Car nameplate first appeared as a sub-model of the Continental in 1959, later becoming a trim line during the 1970s.  For 1981, the Lincoln Town Car became a distinct product, taking the place of the previous Continental in the Lincoln model line.
