MKZ Guide Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Lincoln "won't rule out" Mustang-based performance car Edmunds / Rick Kranz Lincoln MKR Forum Lincoln’s head of marketing and sales, Matt VanDyke, says a Mustang-based car could be in the cards for the luxury brand. Asked if a sporty, Mustang based model could be part of the mix, VanDyke answered “we won’t rule out anything.” Interestingly, the chassis for the 2004 Mustang was loosely-based on the one under the Lincoln LS, which was Lincoln’s last attempt at building a rear-wheel-drive sports sedan. Then, in 2007, Lincoln unveiled the sleek Mustang-based MKR concept, but never made it into production. What are your thoughts about a Hot-Rod Lincoln?

Although, if we lived further north I would consider another drop top. 100+ temps with blazing sun here in Texas are not conducive to top down motoring. I wish I had known that before I ordered that Mustang GT! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertlane Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Lincoln needs the MKR, however, there are more pressing issues like the MKC launch and a redesigned MKX and MKS. A flagship is great, but I wonder if your brand house needs to be in order first so that when you draw people into your dealership, as much as possible is up to date. For me, how about a 5.0L Twin Turbo with a six-speed manual transmission Lincoln MKR! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
