Can you believe it? It'll be the first rear-wheel drive Buick since their 80's hotrods the Grand National and GNX. Could a new Buick GN or GS be far behind?
So what's Ford doing in response? They're planning on moving the Lincoln LS and Town Car to front-wheel drive platforms. But this isn't as bad as it sounds, as all-wheel-drive versions will be available for both.
The top-of-the-line, AWD, Lincoln LS will be powered by a
311-horsepower, 4.4 liter Yamaha V8.The Town Car name will likely be ditched in favor of the Continental nameplate. But whatever it's called, it's to get a 3-valve 4.6, maybe stretched to 5-liters. If it gets 5-liters, I'd guess horsepower would be in the 340-360 range.
