| New 2010-2015 overall line-up proposal provides Zero overlap between Mercury & Lincoln. (previous version) | |
| ver.3+ | Based on a new Rwd emphasis for Lincoln (and specialty Fords); the new highly flexible, global E3C platform replaces the Panther, D2C(Mustang), Rwd Australian platform, and in a superlight configuration, the S-Type and XJ(all aluminium version) chassis. The same wheelbases are used for most N.A. F-Awd and Rwd vehicles - is parts-sharing/cost-saving possible? MERCURY, pursuing its alternative rôle, specializes in Awd, turbos, & hybrids. -model chart duplicated below price chart- |
