If you're not into luxury marques, feel free to ignore this thread. If you are, what could Lincoln do to be seen in your eyes as a viable competitor to Infiniti, BMW, Lexus, etc? Ford has been a real comeback kid recently, with a bunch of highly-praised models (from the Fiesta to the updated Fusion to the Flex to the updated Mustang), but Lincoln is still solidly in the "also-ran" camp at best.
So here's three options:
I. So is there something Ford could do with an existing platform to get your attention?
Maybe a MkZ (upgraded Ford Fusion) with AWD and the twin-turbo Ecoboost engine from the Taurus SHO?
Maybe a C Concept turned into production...a Ford Fiesta or next-generation European Focus with a premium interior and possibly an upgraded engine and rear suicide doors?
Maybe a MKR Concept turned into production...a larger sport sedan based off the Mustang?
Maybe a Ford Mondeo with a Lincoln face, AWD, and a premium interior? (The concept behind the Jaguar X-Type, but starting with a better Mondeo and better engines this time and going with a modern look instead of an old-man look).
II. Or would Lincoln have to design a new car from scratch to get your attention?
III. Or, as a last option, is there literally nothing Lincoln could offer right now that would make you want one?
