Ehhhhhhh, it's OK. But just ok. Sadly I don't think it's good enough.

 

That grill just has to go; it's only gotten uglier on this new edition. Neither of these will sell well - wonder if we're going to see some truly new stuff from Lincoln at NAIAS?

 

...needs turbine wheels to complete the look...

 

It will sell in black, where you can't see the ugly grill as clearly.

 

+1 .

 

new grilles are marginally better than the current one, so 'meh' overall.

refreshed MKS = ok, not bad, not as exciting as the new Caddy XTS.
refreshed MKT = disappoint. they didnt even refresh the rear, a waste of time and resources imo. hopefully in the full redesign, it will share platforms with the explorer and bring back the aviator nameplate.

the new max wolfe era of lincolns cant come any sooner.

 

Most likely Detroit, though some crazy people are saying the real Max designs won't hit until next year's LA show.

 

 

Remember that Autoblog pic everyone thought was a Photoshop?

 

We were hoping it's was a photoshop.

 

Happily, what we have seen of the next generation MKZ indicates that we can expect something entirely different from that car, because the MKS refresh is terrible. I love the rump we saw on the MKZ mini reveal recently, which should just be a lightly disguised 'concept' version of the actual production car.....I hope.
