ANTAUS Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 The interior in beautifully opulent and luxurious, but the exterior is simply unforgettable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark B. Morrow Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 The grille explains the "Lincoln Wall" at the car shows for the last couple of years and the Lincoln Star headlights are outstanding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 The interior in beautifully opulent and luxurious, but the exterior is simply unforgettable You're sad because it's unforgettable? I don't think it's bad, heck there's a little jaguar in the front and a homage to the LS which is not a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullynd Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 the exterior is simply unforgettable Did you mean to say forgettable? Unremarkable? Or is the smiley misplaced and you did mean unforgettable? Overall I like it. Not 100% sold on some of it though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) I like the grille pattern a lot. It's distinctive without being retro. Or retro-esque. The interior, however, seems a bit, well, 70s-ish Edited March 30, 2015 by RichardJensen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Sometimes you have to keep changing until the right combination of design and styling is struck,this is the real challenge of finding your way in the luxury market, it's meant to define what Lincoln is.I take it all back, this is so much more than simply renaming MKS, it's like a breath of fresh air wafted through Lincoln.Maybe it's not RWD like Cadillac's CT6 but Continental leap frogs Cadilac's XTS and consigns the current MKS to history Edited March 30, 2015 by jpd80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

probowler Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 At first I was But then I was like I love this concept. If Ford (Lincoln) is planning on building more vehicles like this, then I think I need to buy more F Stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosetang Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Im not in love with the faux hips, always liked a straight waist on my Lincs. And while the grille pattern is neat, I wish the grill shape and front end overall were less generic. But I like the direction overall and hope they are able to bring it to the street looking as close to this as they can if for no other reason than to shut the naysayers up.

silvrsvt Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Not a fan of the grill on it, seems a bit generic, but I do love the little details of using the Lincoln emblem as the openings and as the headlight projectors shape Has a lot of potential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullynd Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I like the grille pattern a lot. It's distinctive without being retro. Or retro-esque. My concern with the grill is production being 2/3 solid for aerodynamics, and another 1/4 solid for the collision avoidance system, etc. It's also IMHO a little too big, and the bottom tooth seems very KIA.

Fgts Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Exterior very Jaguar like, I like the interior that's Lincoln throwback and don't take from other carmakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomcat68 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Cadillac must have just shit themselves! I love this! It is so modern and yet echos the classic 60's model sort of the way the new mustang does... but I think it is done better here! MKS sales will go down to about 2 per month now, so lets just sell the rest of them to Michael Bay so he can smash them in his crappy movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92merc Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I like the external styling over all. But the interior is what gives me pause. The seat contouring and the velour looking inserts in the seats remind me of the 80's interiors, and not in a good way. Also, the bolstering looks over done, similar to the 80's style "pillow" seats. I think a perforated leather insert in the middle will go along way towards toning that down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope LMC doesn't use the overdone theme of diamond-pattern quilting or perforations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
