thanks for this thread Andrew L, I like LSC and Red Label, but I choose to stick with Red LabelHello everyone. Just for fun after looking back at the thread I started going over the history of the Lincoln Performance History (which you can find here: http://www.fordinsidenews.com/forum...-Collaboration-of-Lincoln-Performance-History ) I thought it would be fun to throw some ideas for a name for Lincoln's Performance line. I think it has been pretty well documented that Red Label might get the line but I thought of some things that might make it fun.
Cadillac has V, Lexus has F, BMW has M
Lincoln could use K?
OR a 2 letter designation?
The Mark VII and VIII had the LSC trim for the ultimate performance model and the LS had the LSE. LSC is Luxury Sport Coupe I believe and LSE was Limited Special Edition... so perhaps LS_ ?
Or just stick with Red Label.
Let's keep the discussion civil.

But EcoForce sounds like the name of a group of liberal climate super dweebs dressed in tights and a cape!! :thumb:
TwinForce on the other hand brings to mind the Madsen twins dressed only in a cape!!
^I like TwinForce.

For the time being, Red Label is pretty unique....... K would be derivative, IMHO.

Sometimes the obvious answer is obvious! :thumb:^I like TwinForce.
I like Twinforce too, Im not sure about K^I like TwinForce.

K would be a throwback to the Model K like the Navigator K concept in the Performance History thread
Here is a 1938 Model K one of my favorite classic Lincolns

I'm not sure what name would be appropriate. I guess you could use K. The Greyhound would make a great logo, though.I like this idea!
This actually is my background on my work computer:

Here's an idea. What if the Red Label Lincolns had a red Lincoln emblem with Greyhounds?
It would be like the Continental Mark II emblem but all red and Greyhounds.
THANKS for the Poll, Andrew!

investing in COAL is probably a good idea; seeing as how many FiN stockings will be FILLED with it...)

[ on topic ]
my old idea was "HRL"
as in HotRodLincoln
&
tho it goes back so far (to a song from the late 50's/early 60's) that's it's kind of a joke,
I'm still quite serious about suggesting it...in a self-deprecating kind of way (dry semi-British humor?)
otoh
I'm also drawn to the old RollsRoyce mantra of just saying their HP is "sufficient";
implying it's déclassé to be overly concerned about the exact number of horses
plus
looking to the post-peak-petrol future: Why Bother?
OR
start out by using kiloWatts (there's a "K"!) since the electric motors & batteries are using that
(HP *can* be converted into it - as done in Australia & other modern countries)
but
as I've said before (& SP1966 said similar above)
using too many [Labels] ruins the whole scheme
(tho I do like [WhiteLabel] for pure bespoke - IF they ever offer anything near that)
