Rumor of RWD platform for Lincoln

[Dan Ro]

I can't find the short article online. Saw it in the April 2011 Motor Trend in the "trend" area pg. 20.

"Lincoln needs an RWD platform. We've all known that for years, since the LS, left the market. Fortunately, Ford Motor Company realizes it, as we've heard from several sources in recent months. Plans for a new RWD platform for Ford cars have been on indefinite hold at least since 2006, when Ford Motor Company was lining up the huge line of credit that kept it from seeking federal help in 2009. Ford posted a $6.6 billion profit in 2010, and discussions have begun on what that RWD platform will be and whether it can be shared with a new Mustang and Australian Falcon."

There was no photo of any concepts, only a little side article in rumor stuff.

 

[FASTLLS]

I know.. Just in the near future..

They need to, give the Dodge's a run. Be sweet if it was the 5.0 all aluminum. The F150 gets up and moves with the 5.0.

They can use this platform on new stangs, the falcon, and bring back the LS with a 4.6!!

maybe the Ford falcon Aussie plateform ? 5.0L RWD.
it would be awesome but... I don't think ford would do that

Not a fan of that design at all. RWD or not, I wouldn't buy that.

 

[The Hotness]

Holy HELL! I would rock that!! ^^^ Ford open your eyeessss... Why the f*ck do we get a damn Fiesta???

 

[BlackLS06]

It reminds me alot of the LS:

I think this model looks better than the newer one above.

Now imagine the same body and interior but with Lincoln grille and emblem stamped all over it....sexy!!

 

[FASTLLS]

I like the middle one if it was reasonably priced

2008 Ford Falcon G6E?

That looks pretty good and with a few minor alterations, could pass off as a slightly sporty Lincoln.

Ford, Make this a lincoln, NOW!

The other ones are "Too" Sporty for a RWD Lincoln base. The base model cant have too much flair. but granted we can make them look that way. THis Blue one looks like the perfect start. I would buy one, in black...

And move the front wheels forward a few more inches.

And I want some with a 6.2

And a pony for my birthday

They can use this platform on new stangs, the falcon, and bring back the LS with a 4.6!!

The 4.6 is dead, so that would put the LS back in the same boat as when it had the 3.9. Hell, the D37 gives the 4.6 a run for its money, so why would you want to go back to it, anyway? Go 5.0 or go home, baby!

 

[SoonerLS]

Why the f*ck do we get a damn Fiesta???

Because it will do (and has been doing) something the LS didn't--sell at a profit.

Agreed..

Idk about the 6.2.. Would be nice but Ford would never do it.. They would just EcoBoost the 5.0..

And I'll get you one like this:
YouTube - Family Guy - The Brain Damaged Horse!

Go 5.0 or go home, baby!

The orange and blue that blackls06 posted would be cool with a little revision. It looks like a GTO. I wouldnt mind GTO power, but ill pass on the look!!!

 

[m-waage]

Lol @ Fast and his brain damage Horse present.

If I cant have a 6.2 I would want a 4 or 6 cyl incline turbo diesel option in a RWD lincoln platform.

here you go!

 

[FASTLLS]

Maybe if it was in black I would like it more..

[ls'd]
