[QUOTE="mustangc, post: 13389934, member: 87570"] Yeah, a 4-door Boss has been available in Australia. I cringe at a four door [I]Mustang[/I], but to be honest I would love a four door RWD performance sedan from Ford (or Lincoln). Had the (2015) Mustang came out first, followed by the (2013) Fusion, we'd all be praising the Fusion for looking like a Mustang. Then the Fusion would have been even cooler because it looks like a Mustang instead of the Mustang looking like a common (albeit beautiful) sedan. Order of introduction does make a difference on impression. (Hear that Mr. Jim Farley?) A RWD Ford sedan could challenge the Charger and SS. The Lincoln could finally a go toe-to-toe with BMW! Launch the exclusive Lincoln first to give that brand a shot in the arm with the image of a Halo car. Follow up with the midstream Ford a year or two later as a way for blue collar wallets a purchase the platform for less money. No longer would the Lincoln be a gussied up Ford, but a Ford would be an attainable Lincoln. While I've got Jim's ear and my soapbox: Drop the Mk_ garbage. I understand the strategy of making the brand more important than the model, but little name differentiation allows the models to all run together. When I talk to people about a Lincoln model, I say "Lincoln MkZ". They respond, "X, Y, Z, Which one is that again?" I respond, "You know, the one based on the Fusion." Poof! We're back to the image of a gussied up Ford again... Sorry [/rant] [/QUOTE]
