It appears to be Lincoln to me, there is no way the FH would have a TJ magna grille.
That, and it appears to be LHD as well.

Hmm ... maybe that's the next MKS. They must be testing its wombat crashworthiness.

Probably the little Ecosport...
The two Lincolns are MKS and MKZ, most likely upgrades for 2014 year models.. Both still look to be Left Hand Drive models, most likely here for some development work on behalf of FNA.. |

They shouldn't still be testing the MKZ (unless that's an old picture). They just launched it a few months ago.

The one in the second pic has a bit of a Lexus GS300 vibe in it's silhouette.

Who is to say they are in Oz? Unless the one in the 2nd pic has XR8 rims? FG for those who have forgotten what a XR8 is...
 So very random having these cars near a test car only car park? Or is that a trailer park?...hehe

I can't see Ford trying to go global with Lincoln, at least not at the moment. The name doesn't resound elsewhere, the market segment is crowded, and Lincoln doesn't have the product to support global conquest sales. (Yeah, I know Kim Jong Il was a fan.)

Ah, so.
They've got a lot of work to do to catch up with Buick there.

I find it interesting that both Ford and GM exclude their China JV revenue/profits figures from from their respective Asia Pacific results. |

My hope is that Aussie designer Max Wolff can turn that mish mash of previous efforts into a more cohesive appealing style.
At the moment, Lincoln is trying too hard with gawdy overdone front styling, that oversized signature winged grille looks hideous. Maybe go back to a previous styling base and start form there like 2001 Lincoln LS that could have been Falcon based...

I actually think they are quite nice, and honestly marketed correctly could do ok here and take some sales from the typical EU stuff we seem to get and love.
God Im going to get all GWRD on you again..............
