this might be my next car in a year or so. Lincoln has nothing to answer to this baby…

 

We can only hope.

 

Nor should they. That's just hideous. Looks like a deranged Easter Infinity.

I'm pretty sure that if Lincoln needed a coupe, they'd have one by now. I'm guessin' it's not a market like it used to be, or when Ford was making the 'new' TBird, it wouldn't have been a TBird, it'd have been the Mark IX.

Besides, the S550 is too small for a Lincoln coupe. They'd need to stretch it a bit, make it more '97 Tbird/cougar/Mark VIII in size.

IMO. Whatever, I'm not buyin' one anyway.

 

Style is subjective, but more to the point Caddy is selling about 3 of those a month. Lincoln needs an expensive-to-make, very-slow-selling vehicle like a submarine needs a screen door.

 

i do agree. my opinion is that rendering is hideous. The entire lincoln line looks ugly to me. Out here i see way more caddys, CTS's especially, than new lincolns.

I'm personally interested in the ELR (pictured above) as an electric hybrid alternative to a Tesla. Ford/Lincoln don't have a hybrid in the sport/luxury class that i'm aware of.

 

Don't get an ELR. It's literally an $80k Volt with a pretty exterior. You get worse performance and worse mpg than the Volt too. Don't get a Tesla either. Trust me. Wait for the second or third generation of these cars to make a decision. It's not worth it to be the early adopter here.

 

i do agree with you there too Patrick. The ELR is only on my radar. doing lots of research. i'm not looking till next year anyway.

back to the thread topic though. Didn't mean to derail it. sorry.

 

Thank Goodness they don't IMHO!

 

IMO I love the design of the elr (haven't read anything about the performance yet). But for Lincoln, they need to build up a YOUNGER customer base before they go into the coupe/sports car range. The MKc and MKz are a good start, the designs are nice and they should get more people to take a look at Lincoln.
