Just kill off the brand already if you're going to re-badge again...

I don't think it's a bad idea but I sure hope that's not the final body shape. I'm guessing it's just a mule at this point though.

I would like to joke that it is a Ford product. Isn't even production yet, and is broke down on the back of a tow truck.....
Sorry |

They should give this one AWD and boost to further differentiate it from the Focus. Sort of take up where Volvo left off with the S40 T5 (2nd gen chassis was also the base for previous generation Euro-spec Focus and Mazda 3).

now sure how I feel about this. Ford has vowed to reinvigorate Lincoln and spent over 2 billion to do it. The focus platform is very good, but a quick grill change may not be enough
However, I ask the ladies and gentlemen of the jury, how well is the VERANO doing? If it was successful, then that bodes well for this car. In the compact segment, there is not a whole lot of room for profit. So you have to make something else work. VW manages well with that new VFQ (or something chassis) for darn near all its future cars. So perhaps ford will do well with the focus chassis badged as a lincoln |
