I'm sure if the production model was built to the level of the concept it would be an $80K car.


I'm just excited because outside design talent is EXACTLY what Ford needs. Particularly in the interior department, but also elsewhere.

Mustangs are meant to be inexpensive. Ford is in need of a modern luxosport coupe for Lincoln. They couldn't call it 'Mark IX' or 'Mark X,' though, now that the MKX CUV is here. [How confusing!]

Then again, with the Jaguar XK, who needs Lincoln? It depends who you ask ... some people believe Ford is trying to sell Jaguar. I don't see it happening, because there are no buyers (for Jaguar, not for personal luxosport coupes).

Lincoln doesn't need a coupe.. IMO, Mercury does.

The original Mercury Cougar started out as a cousin of the 67 Mustang.

Introducing the majority of the elements of this design into a new Mercury variant makes all the sense in the world IMO.
