I think they're simply taking advantage of some significant product changes to correct a bad choice in names.
Nobody remembers the original Lincoln Zephyr which was a car ahead of its time ... most people familiar with the name think of a tarted up Ford Granada -- not the kind of association you want for your newest luxury vehicle.
Linking the name change to a product change means they don't have to admit to making the mistake in the first place.
