A proper competitor for the Phantom Drophead?
I approve. Give it twin turbines powering electric motors in all 4 wheels.
Oh, and:
Dear Lincoln: Cadillac has the XTS coming this spring and they just teased the ATS, announced the ELR, and showed the best concept of the year. Your move.
Love it, this is what Caddy should have made been making all along.
Where is today's Citroen DS, Fiat Multipla, Ford Mustang/Capri, Alfa GTV6, Lancia Stratos.......?
Who knows, a lot of people thought the Camaro concept would never look the same when it hit production, but it pretty much did, right down to the horribly impractical roof-line that makes visibility poor. They also put that SSR into production as well. I would hope GM has the foresight to see that this car would be a success, so long as they make it well worth the price, whatever that might be. I still think the Sixteen should have been made, even if the sticker price was a million dollars, you know some rich folks out there would pay it, just for the exclusivity.But I think those are the exact words I said about the Cadillac Sixteen ... wich they also failed to actually put into production. Come on GM, go find your balls and put this into production.
I'm also awaiting a response from Lincoln.
Not just Caddy. It's high time that car makers stopped shitting themselves about the bottom line, grew a huge pair and started designing and making stuff with character and style, pushing the engineering envelope and making strides instead of belching out beige, generic snotboxes.

You either need an untapped market with lots of money (Mustang) or corporate leaders willing to risk bankruptcy or red ink to make their vision alive (all the others). Good luck finding either of that these days.
