Well lady folk and gents, this is very interesting - a large luxury sedan and possibly a global AWD/RWD Ford platform...

interesting car, not bad but you can keep those wheels. They'd be completely impractical in the real world outside of suburbia.

Looks fantastic. Has great presence and would be a great addition to the local range once Falcon is finished.
But this will be another "One Ford" (I know its a Lincoln) that wont be available outside the US and China.

Looks amazing.
Good to see a car with a long living nameplate return. Shame it'll be unlikely that it will come to Australia.

Im not sure if i think it looks good, but it doesnt look stupid like alot of new Lincolns.
Ive got a feeling it would be a monster in the flesh though. Looking at the proportions, primarily how much glasshouse there seems to be compared to the body and then factoring in that its using 21 inches, this isnt a small car. |

Calling it "America's Fairlane" is very amusing to an American.

not sure about the exterior, the interior reminds me of some cars from the 50`s/60`s , i like
, the push button auto is cool too , it looks like a good cruiser, all it needs is a couple more cylinders. |

It could be the next gen Taurus/Explorer platform underpinning it, CD4.3 or whatever Ford refers to it as. That would go a long way to explaining the proportions if it's an SUV platform.

Yeah not bad, a bit generic though. Maybe ford are being more conservative? Previous Lincoln concepts have better and stronger styling.
This just looks like a rehashed concept from a few years back...the 500?

I really like it, it's great to see something so formal and stately while looking so modern as well.

From the side it looks a bit like a tarted up Falcon, inside is just fugly, and the wheels look like something that they won at the Easter Show shooting gallery. I would rather have my old ZL
