2010-2011 Crown Vic/Panther Platform Concept?

[biodole]

Ok guys, what is the deal with all this stuff I've been seeing online about a 2010/2011 Crown Vic or Crown Vic Replacement?

Are these just rumors and internet BS....or is this legit? I'm talking stuff like this:

So far I've heard that its only fan art basically and has no real truth to it.

I would personally love to see a new 400hp++ panther platform car...but I highly doubt that is doing to happen. I think they really dropped the ball with the marauder...only offering 302HP options...had they offered a supercharged model...or a 427 naturally aspirated model...tacked on a few extra K - I'm sure all of you and myself would have been very grateful.

Anyone have any real or artificial hope for me? hahaha


EDIT::

I guess it is real....

Could this be a semi-replacement to the marauder? A 415HP RWD Sedan? Or is this more of a luxury vehicle than a muscle car?

Given that the "Interceptor" concept has been around since 2006, DO NOT hold your breath that it will be a reality.

BTW ... Saw it at the NAIAS in Detriot ( er, Detroit ). T'was NICE.

Though I REALLY liked the Efijy.

There's something about the front end that looks too robocop-ish for me, but is a badass idea and car.

I agree with this...the front end is ugly...the Lincoln MKR which is the same car...but with different trim...looks a LOT better.

Ford NEEDS a 4dr sedan with some balls.
I would buy one.

Former SHO owner here, love the new one, wouldn't give the mm up right away for that. Hope that they throw that turbo motor from the new SHO into the edge to make it compete with the porche cayenne! Be a nice addition to the fleet, especially since we need the size for the tiny puppy! (Dobe/dane mix)

the interceptor concept was supposed to happen until recently. ford put on hold the new rwd platform indefinitely.
