Re: Lincoln: No Reveal At NIAS!
Coupe is coming sooner than expected from what I've heard. In concept form first of course.

in fact / imho
if they don't make a sportSEDAN out of the S650 :: they should NOT BOTHER
also... believe the "coupe" IF THEY BUILD ONE needs to be a CoupeCabrio-hard'vert ...for differentiation
ps/edit - want a sportbrake TOO, prolley raised &or with adjustable ht. suspension

Platform sharing isn't bad! CTS and ATS are nothing like the Camaro and they both ride on alpha. I expect a similar effort from Lincoln at this point, especially on something like a coupe.

As far as Lincolns usage of the Mustang platform, ideally the best route would be for them to develop both an entry level sport sedan and a coupe. A sedan for volume and a coupe for pedigree/image. Of course these variants would be differentiated as much as possible as their Ford counterparts (if the Continental and Navigator are indicators they will be). Taking advantage of the Mustang platform if only for its superior driving dynamics and engineering should be one of Lincolns main priorities in the next few years.
Not to mention, the Mustang is popular in Europe and for good reason. I'd imagine that an even more refined Lincoln coupe would do just as good if not better than the Mustang and could even be Lincolns gateway into Europe. Who knows?
This chop of a Lincoln coupe a couple years back was very popular online, can anyone try one with the new design language?

^ other than that chop which I never liked, agree with everything else you posted, CJKnox 
to see other chops try:
• StarShadow grille chops &
• STARstang: the beginning, as well as
• Mission: Lincoln tho it's mainly pre-Conti

Lincoln on the other hand doesn't have the same brand/name recognition or desirability level as "Mustang" outside North America (besides China).
Chances are most non-car enthusiasts from outside North America would probably recall two Lincolns (if they recall any), the 60's Continental (presidential limo) and the Navigator SUV in music videos.
For me I think Lincstang would need to be a 4-door sedan or coupe-ish 4-door since this has a larger market share globally than (non-iconic) 2-door coupes, then niche models can follow when the core models gain more traction.
All I can say for now is I can't wait for some of the Continental's elegance to rub off the other Lincoln models.
