Finally, there are a couple Lincoln's worthy of the name. The MKS, now this.

And that Motor?!!! Maybe Lincoln should do a light-ish weight 2dr RWD with some of this DNA. I'd buy.]]>Jan 14th 2008 9:25AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/
I would rather see a Lincoln version of the next Explorer, more of an SUV look. But maybe we'll get one of those too.]]>Jan 14th 2008 9:25AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/

It looks like it might eat somebody (or something - my vote goes for the Honda Pilot to be the first meal), but I think it's pretty cool. Interesting to see how the menu of design elements talked about in last year's MKR concept have been utilized here, but somewhat differently: the upkick to the beltline, beveled edges, etc.

Certainly distinctive - bold statement that is also very different from Cadillac's origami stuff.]]>Jan 14th 2008 9:28AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/Jan 14th 2008 9:34AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/
My only suggestions are to change the name of the new V6 back to "TwinForce - with EcoBoost Technology." Also - offer this in a Hybrid form to allow the rich folks to make an Eco statement. This high end segment of the market is ripe for high class hybrids - big $$$ there.]]>Jan 14th 2008 1:07PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/Jan 14th 2008 9:37AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/Jan 14th 2008 9:37AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/Jan 14th 2008 10:24AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/Jan 14th 2008 12:12PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/
I for one really think this vehicle is great - now FoMoCo just bring the thing to market ASAP.]]>Jan 14th 2008 3:52PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/Jan 14th 2008 9:44AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/Jan 14th 2008 9:48AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/Jan 14th 2008 10:04AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/14/detroit-2008-lincoln-mkt-concept-bold-and-bedazzled/
The nose is a bit radical, but, overally, this "look" is exactly what Lincoln needs to make a statement that we stand for new American luxury and design. Going this far out may be a bit of a risk, but given the situationa Ford is in, a bit of a risk is worth taking vs. the alternative of producing another "me too" upmarket Ford.
