Here's another idea for the return of the Capri. Mazda is allegedly thinking about bringing back the RX-7. Since Ford and Mazda frequently do platform sharing, how about using the chassis of the new RX-7 with an entirely different body and an EcoBoost V6 to reincarnate the Mercury Capri?
Or, when they come out with an entirely new Mustang in 2014(?) make a Mercury Capri version. Cut it down a little so it's just a two-seater, give it a "bubble glass" hatchback and blistered fenders like it had in the mid-80's, standard T-tops, and the Mustang's powertrain.

It could be done again but there has to be a really good marketing case to support a separate Mercury version.

I wish we would be seeing more RWD vehicles in the Lincoln-Mercury future, but I really wouldn't hold my breath. I fear that Mercury isn't long for this world...

I could honestly see a new Lincoln RWD coupe before a Mercury. I don't see them living past 2015 with the current lineup. We'll know more when the new Explorer is unveiled, as they'll lose another item in their (Mercury's) collection.
