Lincoln's Focus based saloon spotted

I can hardly contain my excitement!

Actually, perhaps I shouldn't be so cynical. The Focus is an excellent base........but I hope Lincolns version looks nothing like it, inside or out.

Looks like old Focus mule. I haven't even seen a MKC (Lincoln Escape) mule running around so I'm surprised one would surface of a Focus/Lincoln model . . . but time will tell.

I don't think that's the Linc, I think that's a Focus refresh of some variety.

Ease up on that comment! No confirmation of a small Lincoln sedan.

Our spy photographers have just sent us the first ever pictures of Lincoln's long-rumored Ford Focus-based compact luxury sedan.

The yet un-named Focus-based Lincoln is clearly still in the early development phase, with the car sporting a collection of Focus and prototype parts. However, a closer look at the car's camouflaged front ends reveals this isn't just an update for the current Focus.
Anyone knows what they're talking about?

So far I have't seen any evidence or comments from insiders to back up the idea that it's a Linc. One of the more interesting theories put forward on BON is that it's an old Tracer prototype (from before Merc's death) being used for mule duty.

Current Focus is C346. Old Focus was C170. The C195 on the side seems confusing. Maybe a refresh or just an old mule still in use.
