There's a persistent rumor Lincoln will get the S550 platform (why'd they name a platform this size after an M-B hi-roller?!) and a 4-dr will ensue. Maybe a "Mark IX" 2-dr reincarnate, too?

God knows, Lincoln needs help...

Would very curious to see the 5 year plan for Lincoln. They clearly need something.

Thought this might be a good place to post this, just costs you a few clicks and you can vote once a day.
Thanks!

For a lot of people it still boils down to how much can I get for my money.

Also a story, Mrs. Number 3 was Marketing Manager on the C5 Corvette. Early clinics were "CUP HOLDERS!!!!!!! NO ONE drinks in my Corvette. Why would I even want one cup holder". But when the car launched one of the biggest complaints was "the cup holders in this car SUCK". LOL.

For the Camaro to succeed, I've always suggested it needs to be the best coupe you can buy...............PERIOD. It should be so good that Honda and Nissan have to quit selling Accord and Altima coupes. And yet it should blow a Mustang into the weeds with ease.

I just look at the Impala. Look how good that car is....................but how good could that car be if it had the Hiper strut front suspension, linked H-arm rear suspension ANNNNNNNND the 3.6L TT engine. It would go from very good to GREAT.
Translation.

Municipalities are looking for ways to make money. It gives traffic cameras a second chance to snag the pictures. Also, the new "license plate readers" installed on police cars and other places are 100% more effective if they have two plates to catch images on when looking for plates/owners with outstanding warrants/tickets, or stolen vehicles, etc.

I got pulled over in my company delivery truck because the insurance expired and the cops ran my license plates. Apparently that all pops up when they do.
