Hmmm...I don't remember hearing that, not sure.
The S197 (current-gen Mustang) is based off the LS's DEW98 platform though.

And yes, the FN10 is the Lincoln version of the MN12 chassis. The extensive use of aluminum in suspension components is what differentiated the platforms enough for a name change, apparently.

Yes. This:

The Coupe was approved to proceed into development just a few months ago. We were sitting on this story for a couple months waiting for more info and the right time.

I'm sure their no set sales for the MkZ and MkD but there is a return expected. So sales and ATPs will be important there.

The MkS will be on CD4.3 when the all new debuts. How long that platform is? Only Ford knows yet. As mentioned a year ago, the full size flagship is still just a consideration and if approved would probably be much later in the decade.

As of now, I believe the 2.9 will only be for Lincoln while Ford will keep the 2.7 for itself from the mustang to F-150.

I'm going with "MkD" until we hear different from within the company. Fact is there still could be many names up for the vehicle but its the MkD name that was originally attached to the vehicle.

If they can't open their eyes an see that people WANT a RWD lux/sport sedan, then they're doomed.  Apparently Cadillac has figured it out as they are now beating BMW and Mercedes at their own game (check out the latest issue of Motor Trend).

i must have still had a hangover when i wrote that last night. yes mn12's.


and if people wanted it they would make it. Car guys want it. vast majority of people could care less.
