Dear Lincoln....

[JGillis]

I have to ask where did the Lincoln S550-based coupe rumors start? I've not heard anything at all about it other than forum chatter.

Had a Mk VIII years ago....loved it. Haven't seen anything like it since from Lincoln. Just luxo-front drive midsize clones from the Ford stable and trucks.

Had a Thunderbird years ago, loved it. Would you not consider the Mark anything more than a rear wheel drive clone from the ford stable?

Combination of some business realities and common sense. Lincoln needs a competitive luxury sports coupe the likes of the Caddy CTS-V coupe. It needs it badly. That's the common sense part. The business reality is that platform sharing is the way forward and the S550 is the most obvious choice.

Pretty sure the VIII shared some of the chassis with the T-Bird at the time....that's why I said SINCE.

Also, the Bird never had the 4 cam engine.

I would buy that.

I would trade in my 2013 MKS 3.5eb the day that hits the dealer!
That looks killer

Never factory no, when Ford pushed for the tbird to recieve it they killed the whole MN12 chassis.
Couldn't have a Ford compete with the Lincoln sister

And I was implying that it was just a fancy ford clone, nothing unique. Just a better motor and fancy suspension. Although when it worked that suspension was awesome.

The quality of the interior was beautiful also.
