I've always liked Todd Lassa. One of the better automotive reporters IMO.

Yeah, but he is starting to show his age.

Pretty sure that Japanese car nuts felt the same when they've heard that the next NSX will be built in Ohio.

Oh, good call! Two birds/one stone, and all that.

As long as they enter LMP1, sell diesel engines in their cars and build an R8 rival, I don't have a problem with it.

Really if you think about it that's not a bad idea.

It might make me sick if an American flagship is built in China like everything else. Fine build your toys, toothbrushes, and clothes in China. But our guns, cars, planes, ships. Things like this need to stay in the craftsmanship of Americans. Excited for Lincoln to possibly differentiate from Ford though.

Read the whole article. It could be built only in China, not sold only in China.

Moving all production of the new Lincoln large sedan to China makes more sense, especially if it gets exclusive use of the RWD proportions. Lincoln's plan for China anticipates sales for the brand there equaling sales in the U.S. in a few short years (it sold 81,694 here last year), and one source said the division is "considering all possibilities" for Chinese production. Ships full of MKZs, MKCs, MKXes, and Navigators sailing from North America to China could return with the MKS replacement, the source says.

That'd be a change. That said, if I remember correctly, the next gen MKS has already been spotted testing in heavily camoed prototype form and it looks to retain its Taurus roots.
