Why isn't the mustang AWD 400hp /o/?
>>14581293
>MKZ's 3.0-liter GTDI V6 twin-turbo
>TTV6
why...
Didn't the 2016 MKZ only cost 35,000ish?
I guess Lincoln and Cadillac wanna be back in the game?
>Lincoln
I wouldn't even buy it for $10k
>>14581293
Looks like Ford ripped off Jaguar's style.
>>14581311
But it is...
>>14581311
Oh and as for the awd, because the Mustang isn't fwd biased.all of ford's awd understeers badly.
>>14581293
Who cares? It's an ugly, angry looking, modern car with too much safety bullshit
why isnt it rwd
why isnt it rwd
why isnt it rwd
would buy if it had a creamy sounding v8 and RWD, but until then

Because you dont buy a fucking Lincoln to race
>>14581625
Ford owns Jaguar
>>14582101
Tell that to Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen.
>>14582127
Not for a while
>>14582127
Im pretty sure that was last true over a decade ago.
>>14582127
You found a way back to 2007? Pls take me with you senpai
Is this the outcome of the Lincoln Continental concept?
>>14582093
RIP Holden
>>14582101
lincolns need to be rwd, like cadillacs
make lincoln great again
>>14581293
I don't hate that fascia. In a world of angry cars, this one is relatively reserved and conveys a quiet strength and dignity. Pretty fat though.
>>14582195
It makes zero difference to anyone but benchracers. You never went fast in that old barge, and I would bet my scrotum that if they had today's AWD they would have put it on that machine, because they already had enough problems with the shitty tires breaking traction in a wheeled cruise ship.
WRX BTFO
>>14582226
true, but still wouldn't a rwd mkz or any lincoln be a lot cooler
>>14581293
>a Lincoln that doesn't look like dogshit
whoa
>>14581625
I think you mean Aston Martin's style
>>14582303
My thoughts exactly do they only want to cadet to 70 year old?
>>14582307
Ford is sexier
>>14582317
until you look at the tail, at least

They revealed the production Continental at Detroit.
>>14582337
isn't that basically just a snazzy Taurus
>>14582351
It's based on the Fusion platform. The MKZ is a more direct adaptation of the Fusion, the Continental is modified quite a bit.
>>14582226
FWD is a sign of cost cutting. That ruins what they are trying to achieve.
Nice Audi
>>14581356
Cadillac has been in the game since '09
Lincoln has been stuck in the 90's for a while now. Even a 400 HP "AWD" system will still be FWD biased and understeer like a pig.
Not that this concept is inherently bad, I just wish Ford would fucking man up and make a true Cadillac competitor.
>>14582226
>let's put front wheel drive in our Lincolns
>let's cut corners in our top of the line luxury cars
>>14581293
Looks better than the hideous grill they are using right now.
Still just a fusion re-badge though.
>>14582526
*BMW competitor
Sure Caddy make some good cars nowadays, but their market share is still comparatively tiny.
>>14581643
>all fords understeer badly
fixed
>>14582831
Nah my 2005 exploder you can get the rear end out a bit in the rain. My parent's AWD 2013 explorer though... it's so shit. Understeers like crazy.
>>14582127

>>14582139
Ford doesn't own Jaguar but they still have an incredibly large stake, and they all share engines - so it's not totally radical that they share some design languages as well.
>>14582226
Every performance difference aside, FWD feels like shit to drive. I hate it. Everyone hates it. It's a sign of budgeting. It's less comfortable and less fun. Who likes having their steering wheel ever turn itself even a little? That shit pisses me off.
>>14583422
>have an incredibly large stake,
Nope.
JLR has a ongoing technical partnership with Ford and PSA and they share production facilities, but it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata
>>14581311
>mustang AWD
That is a super cool bad ass idea!
>>14581351
is that the same engine they are using for the SHO taurus?
>>14584754
no, the SHO is powered by a Duratec 35 strapped with twin turbos, the new MKZ's engine is a punched out version of the 2.7 V6 ecoboost found in the F150
>>14585291
>2.7L V6
>in a halfton
Why is Ford such decrepit shit?
>>14581356
>Cadillac wants to get back in the game
where have you been for 10 years
>>14585335
because the turbos give it 350 hp, thats why
