Will we ever see the Mark IX come to market? I like to imagine it will have the 5.0 and a modified Mustang platform, but will Ford say

Technically one did as a one-off. Ford built one, auction it off, and now a collector owns it.

Looks like a nigger's wet dream.

Ask Marked about any previous models since he's such a filthy ford shill.
it could work as an upscale mustang GT but i really have no idea what ford's focus is with Lincoln so it's anyone's guess if they'll ever put in the effort

Anon has been using the same jokes for the past decade and it doesn't grow stale?
>>13990517
>Implying manufacturers cater to an extremely niche market and white people don't be mirrin' to account for the overwhelming majority of profits.
Anyways, you're projecting.

I see you are new here. You should check out /r/car or whatever it is.
>>13990577
Fuck off, fag. Anon is hivemind, you gianormous retard.
The black jokes are basically ylyl threads; nobody wins, nobody laughs.. It's just the same boring shit.
>>13990641
>Anon is hivemind
Jesus, you are really fucking new. Anon refers to a poster that isn't using a name or trip.

>i really have no idea what ford's focus is with Lincoln
Looks like they're going to go with the traditional American take on luxury cars of comfy ride and interior with lots of power rather than chasing the dynamic driving style popularized by the Germans and imitated by Cadillac.
>>13990710
in that case, a new Mark series would be absolutely perfect. soften the ride on the GT and just have it be a comfy barge with a fuckhuge smooth v8
>>13990402
That implies that Lincoln will be anything but a shit.
Thanks Obama.

You are me, but you're too caught up in you ego to realize it.

china. and china no likey 2 doors
I imagine a Lincoln coupe is coming VERY soon, because Lincoln is aimed squarely at not only making a splash in China, but going head to head with the other luxury brands, Cadillac especially, who they've been losing ground to since 1998.
Whether it will be a Mark IX is up for debate. I personally wouldn't mind them making a Continental Coupe. They could even make it a really nice Personal Luxury Coupe to go up against the likes of the S-class coupe.
>>13992858
maybe, but they aren't going to give it one of the old names like continental, they're going to give it an alphabet soup name because everyone else is doing that now and it's weird if you don't
i hope it's a number designation though
>MK1 (first of the new mark series)
>MK10 (mark 10)
>MK50 (for 5.0l)
I'd buy a lincoln mark 9 if it didn't have the ugly lincoln grill they're putting on their cars now.
>>13992889
Well, it sort of sounds like Lincoln could be abandoning the letter naming format within the next few years, considering they are returning the old continental name. Maybe they will return other names like Zephyr, Versailles, and even Town Car.
>>13992909
They're phasing that out and replacing it with this.
>>13992951
>those ripoff audi DRLs
the grill's a little too generic unfortunately
>>13992951
Okay, I like that.
But is it going to get me out of my Lincoln mark 7 with my T5 in it? I don't know.
