looks nice i guess.......but the back kinda reminds me of a saturn aura. I really wish that Lincoln had a more distinctive look to it, one thats not so......what it is now.

 

Actually, I think it looks more like the Maserati Quattroporte:

 

Its not the most thrilling design ever, but I find it quite handsome and a good bridge from the Panther Lincs to the future (MKR?). Best thing is that it does NOT look like a re-badged 500/Taurus, while it may emulate its competition it looks like a its own animal, not a trim upgrade. The more Lincs that look like their own vehicle, and not re-arranged Fords, the better.

 

looks good, just a bit too tall, IMO.

 

It's definitely a major step up...but does it go far enough? And does it try too hard to emulate Japanese styling cues?

What Ford REALLY needs is to build the MKR, and put to rest once and for all any questions as to whether or not it can turn Lincoln into a stylish, world class luxury division again.

 

looks nice!

what engine is in this car again?

 

Supposed to be the 3.7L Lima variant with DI from the start, and TwinForce coming later in the year.

 

Couple that with AWD, and it looks like Lincoln is aiming directly at the Acura RL or whatever it's called these days...

 

That'll be tough target to hit, aim or no aim.

 

Acuras are overrated.

 

So is sex, but I still like it.

 

You need a new dancing partner . . .

 

So much for that revolutionary C pillar that Ford worked to hard to keep hidden.

 

never heard of this so called revoltionary C-pillar

 

That'll go over big with Olga!

 

like it or not, Acura as a brand is doing better than Lincoln. maybe it's going after cars like the ES from Lexus?

 

I googled Acura and the first car to show up was the Advanced Sports Concept, googled Linc and the first car to show up (after all the Abe headshots) was a heavily camo'ed MKS. So I'm guessing neither is doing to hot with gettign their current lineup to younger buyers.

 

Fact is, Honda is deep into the black. Ford, on the other hand, is still in the red.

So much for this silly comparison.

And I was speaking primarily of the RL interior. Lincoln will have to pull a rabbit out of a hat to match that >>

 

Not much better considering Acura's lineup vs. Lincoln's.

Acura October sales down 22% and YTD down 9.7%
