And that version was NOT what Farley wanted to work with...not to compete with the Lincoln version's intended competition. And the Lincoln models (plural) will NOT be just 2-dr versions.
And now the S550 is what it is...a far better foundation than a flexi-flyer S197-based version ever would have been. At the Lincoln's price point, there's budget for light-weight tech adoption, that will eventually trickle down to the Mustang...
