Saved My Life

On December 3rd, 2011, I was in a side swipe car collision on my way home from work. The intersection happened to be at george bush and coit road in Dallas, TX. As I was driving home, I was making a left turn and noticed a green truck, not thinking about it to much, ended up turning and was hit on the side of my car. It took me some time to register what happened, but I am glad to say I was in a Ford when this happened. 4 air bags deployed, the seat belt locked securely in place, my car dialed 911 immediately for me, and the only thing I walked away with is a minor knee injury and a burn on my hand from the airbag. But I am very thankful for my car and Bill Utter Ford for maintaining my car so great! Because if it wasnt for those two things, I am not sure where I would be right now. Thank you Ford for making safe, drivable cars!

This is a great illustration of how safe Ford vehicles are especially when they are equipped with SYNC services ie 911 Assist which was used to call 911 operators to get this person the help they needed fast!

Your Ideas

I want Lincoln to produce a Continental similar to the Concept from 2002. It should be powered by a 5L Coyote V8 with Ecoboost that produces 500+hp and 500+ft/lbs TQ in top level trim with N/A 5.0 and 3.5 Ecoboost avaliable in less opulent trim levels. It should be a clean sheet design with RWD, suicide rear doors and classic 60's styling with an ultra modern slant. It doesn't need to be a CTS-v or AMG chaser. The design should be like the Rolls-Royce Ghost in execution at a fraction of the cost. Basic livery models should start at $50K with the opulently appointed bespoke "4 seaters" up to $100K. This car should spawn 2 door and SWB 4 door variants along with a halo Ford sedan like the Interceptor concept I think should be called Galaxie. Fo Mo Co can do this I know it, give us world class.
