The concept version didn't look so droopy, but I guess they wanted to create some emotions with that front end.

That grille (or is it a fence?) is a little bit overdone.

Prediction: The front-end styling will be revised/toned-down to look very much like that of the MK-S within 18 months.

Turn the car on its back end, rev it up a few times to get it heated up a little, and bring out the brats! lol

It's a great car, I can tell...it's just the looks they haven't got right. I bet you if all of Lincoln's designs looked great, they'd sell like hot cakes.

Does cadillac, pontiac and chevy share the same design team?

Could I imagine the next 15 years ?

Humm... Hybrids, large pickups and an unsuccessful venture in Formula One ?

lincoln needs to bring back the continental with suicide doors and go back to their roots. that car would be a hit and get people in their damn showrooms, not these cars with Waterfall grills and Microsoft Sync in them lol

At least you dont have to worry about hitting anything cause that grill would just swallow it whole. The interior center console kind of reminds me of a infiniti G.

The good thing I take away from this is Lincoln is trying something less conservative and the quality is up there along with tech to be had. Ford is on a roll, even if this model doesn't float your boat, I like what they are doing.
