Description: Obviously that didn't happen, but Ford was concerned about the future of a RWD sports car due to the rising gas prices during the 1979 energy crisis. While gas is still expensive today, the Musta...

@brain. No I'm not. I'm saying there are people who buy these cars are either drag racing them or road racing them. Not everybody wants a live axel or I.R.S. They should make you order your car the way you want it if you plan on racing the way you want.
The Camaro and Mustang have grown quite a but, but they are still smaller than 90% of the muscle cars from the era. The Challenger has graduated to full muscle car status though from size. And the next gens will smaller than the current models.
Mustangs and Camaros were never muscle cars, they are pony cars. They are the inspiration for any car manufacturer who has put their biggest horsepower engine into their smallest best handling car.
@Justin, I agree you about having both 100%. They should make it not just with stangs but also camaro's to have the choice to have I.R.S or live axel for both crowds.
Should we also be pissed that the stang gets prettygood gas mileage when historically muscle cars get bad mileage? No lets take full advantage of all our resources
If want a sports car, then go buy one. Stop making muscle cars into sport cars.
Your right that's why the Boss 302 sucks around a track. Piece of garbage that you wouldn't have if someone gave you one right?
Actually the suspension does well enough for the track it just isn't geared for a track. Mustangs are actually raced at tracks quite often and hold their own with cars with "superior" suspension. IRS and solid axle are just different suspensions.
The solid rear axle may be out dated for cars, but it's not a bad suspension, especially fords, just because it's not good for track, doesn't mean it's a bad suspension, lol
Lol if it looks like this they might as well name it the fusion coupe.
They can't style the new mustang off of the original mustang forever guys...
This is good instead of trying to replicate the old mustangs they are getting a new design (I know it's a rendering)
And why has Ford been going with the Aston Martin grill shape for their new cars?
Who else agrees with me that Ford needs to make a sub 100k car? Ford needs to make a competitor to the Corvette and the amazing new Viper
The current gen mustang really grew on me to the point I would consider buying one. I really hope they don't screw it up
I'm worried how the mustang will turn out... This looks nothing like a mustang and all the other concepts don't either,. This is the only muscle car I like too so I'd b kinda disappointed
I think it'll be like most new looks for cars, we won't like it at first, but then it'll grow on some of us

Um heres a better idea than a german car period, any cadillac and the taurus is axtualy really nice on its own I drove an '11 all day yester day and as much as I dont like ford thats a bad ass car paddle shifters and all
4 door coupe based on the mustang GT! Cheaper alternative to the BMW 6 grand coupe, and Mercedes cls!
Yea it would be the reversed version of what Chrysler did with the charger and challenger
Lol seriously did you read it. Lincoln wants to base a car off the stang not the other way around
They're saying that they could stretch the mustang platform to make a Lincoln sedan
Oh no, please do not base the new mustang off a 4 door car platform. Chrysler did that with the LX and we all know how damn over weight and fat the challenger is. I hope they mean a Lincoln would be based on mustang, not other way...
Description: If Ford engineers are able to stretch this platform enough, we could be looking at a proper Cadillac CTS/5 Series competitor as Lincoln's new flagship. However, nothing is definite just yet b...

They also have to keep the two models looking different, it can't be like the MKS or MKZ(the previous body styles anyway) where you can tell its just a Taurus or Fusiin with a nice suit on
The Ford Falcon will also be on the new Mustangs platform. I would love to see that car here.
Lincoln could always rebadge the Australian Ford Falcon and bring it to the US
i love driving the mks with the ecoboost. really nice and surprisingly fast.the only problem is the looks are pretty non-original. they need to make a new continental
Preach on J. Jackson! The T-Bird would be a welcome sign.... If they do it right. I'm thinking they should make it a roadster with underpinnings that resemble a MX-5. Keep the Mustang as the 4-seater.
Put 375 lbs of torque on the front wheels and you'd be seeing the same stereotype for FWD cars.
@Jackson, with all the driving aids an traction control systems in place RED cars are just as effective in winter environments. That stereotype comes from RWD cars putting more than 375 lbs of torque on the rear wheels back in the sixties.
Lincoln falling behind. I agree. The need to think thinks over very hard. From product to marketing strategy. They need to start w/ a powerful flagship veh that is dependable. Folks are not throwing their cash away on disposable cars anymore.
@Chris: Front wheel drive cars give more interior space and are generally cheaper to produce since they have less drivetrain parts.
They need cars for people that are alive. I want them to make a sportscar.
Seriously, Lincoln ha nice cars but they need to individualize themselves and step into the ring because they are falling behind.
To put this quite simply, I hate all the new Lincoln body styles, but this one, (minus the front end), isn't too bad.
The grill on Lincoln's has always been really wierd. This looks even worse
Lincoln has yet to find there style. It's liked lexus, nice but sleep inducing. Theres no "I want that car feeling". I still think the town car was unique and you definatly knew it was a lincoln.
I never understand why they can't style both ends similarly the front needs to to be more sharp and subtle like the rear.
Yea I agree, the wheels don't look too intimidating, they look like they'll attract older people rather than the crowd Lincoln is trying to hit now
Aggressive 5-spoke wheels would go a long way in shifting consumers' opinions of Lincolns being soft sleds to legit well-engineered vehicles capable of speed and style like their euro counterparts.
Change the front of this car to make it complement the back and then we are talking.
Totally agree Clint. I named my probe ana-....I'm sure you can figure it out
The only contribution the Probe made to the world was the endless jokes about the name
For what it's worth GM was set to replace the Camaro if the Beretta sold well enough too.
Yah I've always thought probes were junk.
Wtf they seriously wanted to replace the mustang with the probe!? There is just no comparison the probe is terrible
The 2nd generation Probe GT looked pretty good, I'm can't speak to their reliability, however.
My first car was a probe... What a POS. Tranny blew 3 times, exhaust system fell off, o2 sensors went etc.. Junked it after the motor finally blew. I babied the car too.
For the fiftieth they ruin it
