Could the S550 Pave the Way for a Lincoln Coupe?



Here’s a cool thought: a RWD Lincoln based on the new Mustang platform.

Sure, I know, this site is all about Mustang, but you have to admit, if you’re were looking for a more luxurious spin on the S550, this rendering by Josh Byrnes in a Carscoops report is certainly worth exploring.

Read the rest on the Mustang Source homepage. >>

Not to burst bubbles... well, ok, yeah, I am.

Not. Gonna. Happen.

See, the thing is that the Mustang doesn't have the numbers in the first place. And if there were a luxocoupe market, Ford would *have been* in it in the first place.

Oh, sure, you could argue about the Cadillac coupe whatever it is... CTS? Don't care, honest. Saw one... Gawdawful. Can't believe it's Corvette underneath all that *UGLY*. GM builds it either out of some desperation or lure of 'halo'... or both. Whatever it is... man. It's hideous.

But hey, if Ford makes a Lincoln Coupe? Go for it. Won't hurt me none to see one.

Just expect it to fade out like Tbird did in the 2000's version.

While I might differ in some of the stylistic details, Lincoln DESPERATELY needs some dynamic cars in its portfolio to raise its excitement level above comatose. A slight stretch of the S550 platform for true four-place seating, a somewhat more upscale and refined styling job inside and out and voila, your new Lincoln something or another.

Noooooooo. Omg bro! You can't say that here. Man, those are fighting words on here and could get you possibly removed for a couple days. Many members and certain moderators here don't like that blasphemy. The 2015 is sacred and not to be judged by mortal man.

Nothing can be better than the S550

Pro-tip: don't make fun of the mods you've already pissed off. They weren't saying you couldn't voice your opinion, but you were insulting other posters for their opinions. If you're entitled to yours, they're entitled to theirs. Drop it and move on.

Back to topic: I quite like it. Would be awesome to see a top of the range Lincoln coupe. It's been a while since something super classy has been available for under $100K.

Let's get something straight bud. 1st, I didn't insult other posters for any of their opinions. Try, it was the other way around. Second, I'm not making fun of the mods, just saying how it is. Third, its clear that expressing ones opinions is okay as long as its not aginst their same opinions. Respectfully, I don't need your pro tip.

Dude enough with the constant drama. I wouldn't ban you for your opinion on the 15, I could care less. But making sure that you post in every thread with antagonistic remarks really isn't needed. You were given a friendly warning, you didn't listen. Take a break.

I like the look. With a distinct power plant to separate it further from a Ford offering, such as the boosted D35 cranking 380 HP and 460 ft lbs of torque found in the Navigator, LMC might have a viable product.

I'd probably look at this if it had serious jaguar or aston type panache. Looking at lincoln's current lineup (yawn) they scream boring (and ugly). They have become an afterthought. I don't think the team at the helm of lincoln has high performance or panache on their minds though. "That's just dangerous and irresponsible 'sonny'."

I think it looks pretty good. I can't see this car in Lincoln's future line up.
