Star Lincoln: Where every journey becomes legendary and every ride more relaxing

In-Focus Advertorial | Published May 9, 2025

SOUTHFIELD — Since 1970, Star Lincoln has delivered Metro Detroit’s finest luxury vehicles. Founded by the legendary Hoot McInerney, this venerated dealership has curated driving experiences with the “Star Treatment”—where handcrafted American luxury meets personalized service.   

Hoot’s sons and co-owners, Bob and Jim McInerney, work hand in hand with his grandsons, Executive Manager, Ryan McInerney and Sales Manager, Patrick Leonhard, to oversee his legacy. The late Hoot started a chain of automobile dealerships across the country 55 years ago, and Star Lincoln continues to celebrate this standard of excellence.   

Ryan McInerney explains the standard: “The Lincoln Motor Company has long been synonymous with luxury, innovation, and comfort. In recent years, Lincoln has expanded its focus beyond premium vehicles to emphasize wellness and a holistic driving experience. Features like adaptive suspension, serene cabin acoustics, and ergonomic seating reflect this commitment to passenger well-being.” 

Lincoln’s sanctuary philosophy—  designing tranquil retreats from stress— is highlighted by a new feature in all  2025 Lincoln Navigator and Nautilus  models called Rejuvenate Mode. With a simple touch of a button on the display screen while parked,  this mode activates:   

• **Massage seats** that recline to help you relax and recharge   

• **Customizable scents** emitted  from the dashboard   

• **A tranquil display** that transforms into a serene waterfall landscape.

This advanced wellness technology enhances the in-car relaxation experience by adjusting lighting, scent, sound, visuals, air purification, and seating for ultimate tranquility.   

May is Mental Health Awareness Month in the U.S., and Lincoln’s commitment to “driving peace of mind” arrives at just the right time. McInerney adds, “You can relax while waiting in line or picking up your kids from school in your ‘Digital Spa on Wheels.’ The system was designed to help you calm down and recharge.” 

Lincoln’s focus on wellness as a  health-conscious brand sets it apart from competitors. This advantage  aligns with the announcement of  Employee Pricing for All on all new  2025 Lincoln vehicles: the Corsair, Navigator, Nautilus, and Aviator.   

“Consumers are looking for a better driving experience today,”  McInerney concludes. “The Lincoln interior is superior to the competition in every way—completely different. It’s essential for drivers to care for their peace of mind, body, and soul. Come to Star Lincoln, where you’ll be treated like family and a personal friend. You have to drive a new 2025 Lincoln to experience the exciting difference—you’ll be truly impressed.”
