sorry - traveling back yesterday.
to sum it up...
coils fails for two reasons:
1) engine heat - no solutions but to swap faulty coils
2) leaky valve cover gaskets let oil into the plugs wells - solution is to replace the gaskets with the re-designed ones and swap the faulty coils
There are several aftermarket companies noew design 'better' coils for Fords - nothing for the 3.9L yet.
you really should read the other thread - you will learn

Meaning if they get enough people calling in and asking about them and other such feed back towards the company inquiring.

don't hold your breath - remember they have one Ford application - one of the most popular motors ever.... so it is not likely to happen for us.

maybe - however, they understand how many engines have been built, what their likely market penetration is and how many they would have to sell to offset their R&D, manufacturing and inventory costs.
The low production numbers, the fact the car is dead, and the few number of DIYers in the Lincoln owner profile - does not show a large market to anyone.
We can't get very many aftermarket parts - buy OE or make them ourselves - just a fact of life.

+ 1 with quick, remember Bro i called I doubt they will.
don't get me wrong, I'm willing to rattle their chain a little, but I'm not really expecting a whole lot either. The GMS coils have been "in the works" for how long now? I was just curious if anyone inquired.
