Yes, but I was trying to think of specific models.The performance division of Mercedes Benz has been AMG for decades, arguably longer than any of the other brands you mentioned.

Nothing Lincoln has built since the early '90s interests me in the slightest. In contrast, my dad had a 1986 Mark VII LSC in the late '80s and I loved that car; stylish V8 power with engaging RWD handling(I also liked my three pedal 1984 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe work beater, but I digress).I think Lincoln would do well with a Mustang based vehicle. My dad recently purchased a Lexus RC350 to replace his G37. He bought the G37 partially because it was a slightly more mature version of my 350z. I tried to recommend a Mustang as a replacement, but he wasn’t even interested. He felt that he was too old for a Mustang.
I think a Lincoln option with the 2.7 turbo 6 or similar would be a great option. Use Magneride with softer springs and damper settings, a nicer interior setup, and it might do great things to the Lincoln brand. Probably wouldn’t sell much, but I think the branding would be very valuable long term. And show that Ford is serious about keeping Lincoln around. A new MarkX.

Although there still seems be a market for “Grand Touring” type coupes...Mercedes, BMW and Audi, Lincoln has not offered a two door vehicle since the 1998 Mark VIII...20 model years ago.Nothing Lincoln has built since the early '90s interests me in the slightest.

It's been discussed before, but I think a Mustang-based Lincoln "Personal Luxury Coupe" could be a success- but it would be an uphill struggle. It's too bad the American public is moving in lockstep to mind-numbing crossovers.
