2005 LS?

This was posted over at www.blueovalnews.com - 'probably a photochop, but is something like this likely? 'Certainly more distinctive than the current LS...I'd almost consider one in 2 door...

That car really looks awesome. Now if it came in a 2 door model I would be sold. It would look fantastic as a 2 door. The rear doors on it right now look kind of small. Definetly needs to be made as a 2 door.

I disagree. All the concept lincolns are looking like this and I cant stand it. They are wrecking a great car line which has always had classic styling..... Makes me afraid my next car will be a seville.....

I believe what you have found is pretty much the finished product for the 2005 LS ... Looks Gggreat!!! But, you are right...that back door looks too small. Do you think that roof-line would come off as good on a coupe? I am not sure on that...

Looks somewhat similar to the Mark IX prototype?

I like it but it's probably a PhotoChop of the Lincoln navicross as someone pointed out at BON.

To me, it's reminiscent of the '61-68 Continentals. The only problem with reviving those lines is that they don't work on a 'cab-forward' model!!!

Put a 6' hood on that sucker and stretch the car to 18' - 19.5' overall length, and that's a winning design in my book. Suicide doors are optional.

That is one of the ugliest things I have ever seen.

Yep - 'looks like a photochop. While I think a scaled down LS version might not be too bad, I think the Navicross is a just a solution looking for a problem...I mean c'mon - a cross between a luxury car and an SUV???

Don't like it !! Looks like it's sitting kind of high. I like round smooth lines like a woman!!

Mark VIII, corvette.

Jeoychgo,

Well the Seville is in for a change too....we are working on the new tailights for it, and they are going to be vertical as opposed to the current horizontal ones. Looks CTSish. Although it is rumored to be rear wheelk drive.

I absolutely hate the front-end look on that LS pic. I really, really hope Lincoln doesn't make a car with that styling. The squared-off front end doesn't work on a car.

GAG!

I like the current LS. I saw an ad recently stating the LS handled better than the BMW 540i sport. That would be amazing, as our 540i was on rails! If the new LS is really that athletic I want one. (Affording it is another matter...)

I agree that this "new" car sits very high. It is so butt-ugly that they probably will produce it....

That's what their website says: http://www.lincolnvehicles.com/vehicles/interior.asp?sVehi=LS

LOL! The cynicism is strong with this one...

For some apparent reason, if I stare for more than 5 minutes, I find the car absolutly stunning looks wise, alot better looking than the Cadillacs (CTS, or otherwise).
