Remember it is a concept.
It wont look like this in any way. It will be WAY more boring in production!
How often do the concepts look great, you just think "produce that and EVERYONE will buy it", and then the production just looks like CRAP and failes.

I thought this was marketed mostly towards the Chinese market? Maybe this sort of thing works for them a little better than it does here.

Who is this car supposed to appeal to?
Matthew McCaunaghay (sp?). The rest will follow.

Don't like the headlights or the wheels. Otherwise, it's a nice concept. Looks like it's intended for the global luxury car buyer. Probably Chinese. Maybe not the global 1%ers, but probably the 5%ers.

56 mark II looked way better

Sure thing. Kind of funny as I recall in the 1970's, Ford marketed the Granada looks and performance of the 'pricey' Mercedes Benzo. LOL

This fine Lincoln is equipped a Cardashian Thong grill.

Outside is pretty nice, I think. Better than some recent efforts from Mercedes, BMW, etc.

I don't like the ultra low profile tires that everyone thinks are cool.

Interior looks like a '76 Thunderbird, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Way too much chrome on the dash, imagine the fingerprint mess.

Meh.

IMHO nothing will ever beat the Cadillac 16. I still lust after one.

There is only one. I still think Cadillac should have built 100 and charged a cool million a pop.

It's not so bad. It looks an awful lot like an XJ to me.

Yeah, I know. A freakin' shame.
