The front end is OK. but overall it seems lacking to me.
The main problem is that the Volvo platform has really awkward proportions.
As they say you can put lipstick on a pig but ............

As of right now Ford has no product that I'd buy to replace my Lincoln LS.

LIke I said, it's ironic. Ford builds great looking concepts, but when it comes time to translate it into a real vehicle, it always seems to look like it's five to ten years behind the competition.

This MKS would've really been cutting edge...10 years ago.

By contrast, I saw the new Challenger in the flesh at the local autoshow yesterday, and it looks stunning. A prime example of how to go from concept to reality. (Not quite as big as I was imagining it would be, either.)
