I like the interior. Not a fan of the ass end. Not a fan of only a 3L V6. Not a fan of likely FWD.

3.0-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine will most likely be transversely mounted, with front-wheel drive the standard and all-wheel drive available.

My stock 3.5L EB V6 5,000 lb Flex will out perform my Mark VIII V8, not sure where the power will be for 3L EB, not sure Ford has one yet, maybe the meant the 3.5L

i like it! i too am hoping for a rwd configuration.
Lincoln already has a 2.7 v6 ecoboost making like 325/375, they may just enlarge that to 3 liters for this vehicle. sounds simple enough.

With a full length console you would think RWD would be easy!

Concept or not, it will surely be FWD/AWD. And as heavy as it would likely be, it will need 400+ HP to be any type of 'performance' car?

 

[enriquei]

All pages I've seen refer to the engine as 3L or 3.0L. It's not going to be the 3.5L unfortunately. I'd say it's gonna push out 335/345 at the flywheel.

I have seen Ford, Lincoln and back in the day Mercury at car shows with concepts that were production ready. But when the got to the showroom floor they disappointed. Maybe as Chris says they are making 2.7 v6 ecoboost a 3L.

Marc (leadfoot) sent me some photos that he took of it at the show.

Nice car!

On the first few photos I saw of this car, I didn't think I liked the grille.

I seem to be warming up to it. Otherwise, it looks very nice. I'm assuming this will replace the MKS? The proportions seem about right..

Ha! from the article - ""Do you want us to send the product tooling?" Donckerwolke posted on Lincoln designer David Woodhouses' Facebook page, a comment that was subsequently deleted, Automotive News said."

me: Yes please.

Hmm.. I guess I can see some similarities. Mostly in the "beltline."

 

[Last Mrk]

I can see where they might be ticked off, the Lincoln is actually a better looking car IMHO.

Now I know what the rear end was reminding me of...

 

[driller]

Oh please... have you noticed how many cars you see that you have to get close enough to see the insignia to actually know which brand it is?

Bentley took their styling from this car.
