Lincoln will make five new autos over the next several years according to media.ford.com.

Two of those include the new Mark LT and the Zephyr.

Why not get rid of the LS and the Town Car for something more hip? They need to attract new buyers while keeping the loyal. It seems to be working for Cadillac.

My idea would be this...

-Make ONE sedan with two different wheelbases.

-Use some style like the Continental concept (make the dash more modern though).

- Use the new, 3.5l V-6 that Ford is developing as a base engine.

- Use a 5.4l V-8, which is revised for 05 and makes 300 hp and 365 lb-ft of torque (at least in Navigator) and the 6-speed ZF auto which is also used in the 05 Navigator.

Does that sound too much to ask?

I would like to see new Navigator. I really liked 1998-2002 model, but I don't like at all 2003-current model.

I like the LS... a coupe version based on the Mustang chassis would be awesome...(plus some major HP would be good, too )
