I think it looks great, but won't all of that interior chrome cause a lot of annoying glare on sunny days?

Looks like the "SUX 3000" as seen in the Robocop movies.

I like the overall shape of the car, but the shape and treatment of the front grill is horrendous. Rework that, then put into production.

Yawn. Boring and predictable. Looks like they combined the more plain elements of a chrysler 300 and a bentley continental to create a very bland car.

Looks a little like a 2015 CTS SEDAN, but with hips and curves.
Both are sexy cars, flip a coin.

The grill looks a lot like that other brand's Continental.

some very nice nods to the 70's in that interior.

Hey the AstonMartin-copy grill has worked for Ford, so why not a Bentley grill for Lincoln? Ford...the new British.

I have to admit that it is far more handsome than the baleen whale grills of late.

Of course, this is much better looking! Because...well, just because,

At first, I didn't like the angular look of the Caddies. Initially, I only liked the SRX and the XLR, but over time they've grown on me which is surprising since I usually prefer curvy cars. Yep, don't like the Lincoln above.

I really like the mustangs of the past 10 years or so too, but don't think that I'd have one just because they are so bloody common.

Looks..................
The body is too derivative and the wheels just suck! Ford can do better!

Ford has to do something to help Lincoln reclaim their mojo. More than a decade of selling rebadged Fords has made them little more than a punch line. They either need to invest serious cash to make distinctive new products or pull the plug. We'll see if this one moves beyond concept, at least it's more interesting than a Taurus. |

Good golly, those wheels are hideous....
Overall, the shape is pleasant enough, the "hips" are a nice touch, but the tumbledown (at least from this view) looks like it still needs work. To me. I'm fine with the grille. This isn't a car for me, but it's not bad for a great big boat. In fact, come to think of it, it's weird that I even have an opinion on it! |
