Its a nice car but nothing right now can compare to the 300C in my opinion. The 300C is my favorite new car. I have to say that by Chrysler making the 300 we might see some better big sedans from Detroit. Just to keep up with the 300 in styling and performance.

Nice looking car,....... maybe because IT LOOKS JUST LIKE A CHRYSLER!!!!!!!!!!! DC Has had 4 or 5 extremely impressive sedan prototypes of the last few years, this is a complete rip off of more than 1 of them. Cant they ever think of anything besides suicide doors,they are pathetic.

Although I am old enough to not let ya'll get under my skin, it is still saddening to see some of you wanting Ford to go out of business and another saying GMSucks. Without them we would have "The Big None." That vehicle above is gorgeous and it is hilarious to read someone say it looks like the Bentley-copied 300. Cars all are looking similar because the wind tunnel tells all manufacturers the same thing. That Lincoln shows some nice retro touches and yet modern styling but we know it will be lacking in power. It is unbelievable how uncompetitive Ford's sedans are for engines. Their automatic transmissions are cool though. 5 speeds, 6 speeds and CVT's rule the automatic world here where we just cannot seem to understand why Mercedes Benz offers a 7 speed automatic. GM still is putting 4 speeds in Vettes and SSR's and Neon just gave up its 3 speed. When Neon first came out, a lot of us pleaded to Program Management to make it a 4 speed auto but the official stance was the consumer is too stupid to know the difference. That is actually true for some like my wonderful but naive mother-in-law but they ended up offering the 4 speed as others move to 5, 6 and CVT's. Thnx for the post of that beautiful automobile! The "lollipop" mirrors seem a step backwards.

i want ford to crash and burn. they design produce and sell garbage. it would benefit everyone not to be cursed with there sh*t. as fro GM i would nothing more then for all car companies except DCX and GM to go out of business and then we have a dual monopoly if u will. things are better when there are only 2 big competitors. plus gm makes nice stuff.

as for the CVT read some reviews. it is crap. it is supposedly extremely slow in cold. well what good is that for people in Michigan. i wish my intrepid was 5 speed auto, but o well.

as for this car it looks good for a ford...which doesn't mean much.

It is another version of the 500 body, just not as uglified.

Looks similar to its corporate sibling, the X-type Jag.

Probably just a photoshop by a professional, but it looks nice...

It is the the Ford 500 pretty much, by the way, ya'll do know GM and DCX are working together on new hybrid engines. TOGETHER!

I'm told they also worked together on my transmission on my Ram - I tell my father in law (Chevy fan) that that means that there is a 50% chance it will prematurely break down!

They need to take the 500 off the roads...I fall asleep everytime i look at one. God there cars are sooo boring. How about the escape and the freestyle. They are by far the dullest vehicles on the road. I think both of them look like early 90s escorts.....i just have to laugh.

that car is not a ford at all- its the new bentley (or rolls - i forget) but i know this for a fact- someone photoshopped it to look lincoln

that wont make it very well, it has suicide doors, I can only imagine how the Fed's safety regs wont allow that. Otherwise it probly IS a Jag with Ford badging. DCM is doing the same thing though, alot of the Benz technology is filtering its way to the Chrysler and Dodge lines. When I first saw the Crossfire , I looked at it with skwinty eyes and saw a benz with a weak-ass motor.

here is what that car REALLY is. its called the bentley flying spur, and i think its just a concept as of now but aimed at maybachs and phaetons. it is not a jag, lincoln, or ford in any way shape or form. and the suicide doors were also photoshopped!!

Honestly the more I look at it as a Lincoln, the more I hate it as a Bentley and I bet at a Bentley's price I could buy 6 of them as a Lincoln.

Fake or not, those are all gorgeous pix! I am old and love retro, including the doors. Lutz not being for retro is costing GM bigtime. Can you imagine if GM marketed new versions of the '55 to '62 Chevies, '59 and '60 Caddies and '57 Vettes with modern powertrains, suspensions and brakes, etc.? How about a new '57 Dodge 500, Desoto Adventurer, Plymouth Fury or Chrysler 300 C? '49 Merc or Ford" I do not see how a car that Lincoln would charge around $50K for is "their answer to the 300" which starts below $24K. Nice pix, but they do no one any good until they are available...... kind of like the Magnum SRT. The longer I wait for one, the more I justify getting something else instead. It frosts my ass that there is no employee discount for them .. but then there is no employee discount for anything, is there??!!!!! Since the employee "discount" became available for EVERYONE, it is no longer a discount. It is simply ... "the price."
