Hot rod Lincoln on the way?

Lincoln also is reportedly developing a compact sport sedan based on the phenomenally popular Ford Mustang.

Re: Hot rod Lincoln on the way?
The question of the day is: Will it be good enough to be competitive with vehicles like the CTS and CTSv?
I don't know too much about the platform, but is it a good enough base to do a high luxury/high performance sedan that will compete? I wonder what engine they will stick in there? SC 4.6?

Re: Hot rod Lincoln on the way?
I heard that
it's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up;
That Model A body makes it look like a pup.
It's got 12 cylinders and uses them all;
And an overdrive that just won't stall.
It's got a 4-barrel carb and dual exhausts,
4:11 gears that really get lost -
Safety tubes and I'm not scared,
The brakes are good and the tires are fair.

Re: Hot rod Lincoln on the way?
Ford is indeed working on a Mustang based sedan for Lincoln-Mercury. That much I can verify.
I honestly don't know which division is going to get it, but I wouln't call it "compact" unless you consider the Milan compact.
BTW: there is at least one other vehicle based on D2C planned for LM. Unfortunately, this is all I'm able to get out of anyone.

Only a few of us on this board would even know what I am referring to.
I knew I liked you for a good reason!

I'd still rather let someone else get the heat for leaking.
German firing squads can be really tough on a guy.
Let's just say guys like you and me will like it.
