Ford considering Mustang-based Lincoln

Could this be the next Lincoln Mark IX coupe? According to
Automotive News, Ford is considering a proposal to build a Mustang-based sport coupe for the Lincoln brand. The Lincoln
will have its own unique style, but the basic bones will be shared with the new Mustang. The coupe could show up in
2009, when plant capacity could be available at the Flat Rock, Michigan plant. The Flat Rock plant currently assembles
the Mazda6 and Ford Mustang. Lincoln is not confirming the coupe, but our sources also indicate that Ford is
interesting in reusing the new Mustang platform for other vehicles. We’re wishing that they would produce a sport
sedan, but a Lincoln coupe does have a certain appeal. There is no doubt that Lincoln’s new design language will carry
over into a Mustang-derived coupe.
