Jqa1824 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Did anyone see the social media post by Lincoln a few days ago? Along with the Lincoln logo and a picture of the moon and a sunflower along with this text: “Get ready, we're on the cusp of marking a very important Lincoln milestone. You're all invited. To a new century of you.” it smacks of marketing nonsense, but Lincoln desperately needs to start releasing new product beyond its current lineup. And of late, Ford has been revealing new cars at unusual/non-traditional times. Leaving aside the sedan/Zephyr debate, I think Lincoln needs a CUV below the Corsair (Sojourner?), a replacement for the Nautilus (Oakville EV?) and possibly something else that is a unique or interesting body style. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudz64 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 It must hint at their 100th anniversary milestone, and maybe something will be announced soon? The NY Auto Show is back on, usual time around Easter, but maybe they will announce something sooner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudz64 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Evidently the date they bought Lincoln was Feb 4, 1922, so I guess we’ll hear of something this Friday. someone asked if it was their electric car and Lincoln wrote this back: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausrutherford Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I'll have to say it again...if the Mark series is reborn, it will not big a personal luxury coupe. It will be a 4 door SUV coupe. Why? The 4 door SUV coupe is the personal luxury coupe of today. Same goes for Thunderbird. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the Ford Mustang, the 2-door coupe is pretty much a dying market. The 4-door SUVish coupe is definitely a way to go if the Mark Series returns as well as the Thunderbird. The success of Porsche's Cayenne Coupe is a good example of SUVish coupes while the regular Cayenne is the SUV style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Continental for Aviator coupe. I guess Ford is capacity constrained at Chicago? I would have added Explorer and Aviator coupe a long time ago. They would print money for Ford.

But everything that is old becomes new again. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a slight resurgence if sedans and hatchbacks 5-7 years from now, with Ford and Lincoln bringing back sedans. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell. Not everything. Convertibles were all the rage 'til the '60s; just about every model throughout most full-line automakers' lineups had a convertible variant, but for the last 40-50 years, 'verts have been very much the exception. Likewise, station wagons were a range-spanning staple for decades, but they've been all but dead for the last 30 years; if you put it on stilts and call it a crossover, it's ok, but calling it a station wagon is the kiss of death.

If there is such a car, Lincoln might designate it the "Mk XI," as there was an Mk IX concept, and both Mk-X concept and production models. But I like @silvrsvt's "Cornea"the best!

But I like @silvrsvt's "Cornea"the best! Hopefully Lincoln will use model names only going forward and will never go back to the "MK" nonsense that was so confusing. It's one thing if they use "Mark" for a new model, just as long as they don't use MK. My opinion only from a marketing perspective. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
