What really burns is same wheelbase and track as Falcon of the time. That was North America taking the piss at Ford Australia’s expense, they had zero intention beyond a concept at a show. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved that thing back in the day and remember thinking how it would put Lincoln back on the map. 3 minutes ago, jpd80 said: What really burns is same wheelbase and track as Falcon of the time.

I remember Mulally came in right after the Interceptor and MKR concepts had been shown and received positive feedback - he was seemingly ready to approve them, and then was told that they weren't intended for production, just concepts...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori 21 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Maybe they should've kept the Edge and Escape. Discontinuing the Edge will force me to go to a different brand. I've been a Ford owner for a long time. Now im just extremely disappointed 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twintornados Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 You know what would help? Invest in Flat Rock so Ford can build something other than low roof sedans and coupes there. Make it a flexible plant and either put a CE1 line in that can handle hybrid and/or EREV construction or (less likely) make it a C2 plant for future C2 production but I still have a hunch that C2 will make way for a CE1 gas/hybrid/EREV if it is successful in Louisville. Either way, Flat Rock is a solution waiting for investment $$. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
