The rear looks like Alfa. The front looks kind of "French". Overall, nice.

It's all M45 with a revised front, and a sharp crease along the beltline.

Because it was a concept car for Ford called Iosis. Arguably, the most beautiful Ford branded concept in history. The reason it's not here now is the reason Ford's in the condition it's in.

The problem is that they wouldn't be able to sell that at Taurus prices.

Very nice update to the Mondeo.

You could also fix that issue by simply placing a badge on it that said LINCOLN.

I always second guess decisions like this but it can backfire, look at VW and the Phaeton, while this might be an extreme example it might be a hard sell to say to Ford take a huge risk and possibly suffer a loss that could propel you lower then GM in terms of finacial stability compared to playing it safe with the knowledge you will sell cars, albeit with a lower margin...

With a Ford interior I don't see why it couldn't sell at Taurus prices.

If you're referring to the Iosis concept, I'd hate anything that beautiful to be stricken by a Ford interior.

The only interiors I'd consider to be nice and from Ford are the ones found on their Lincoln Navigators and top model pickup trucks, and those are definitely not sold at taurus prices.

I was referring to the Mondeo but I was joking..because Ford interiors are so cheap the exterior looks don't require a overall high price. Anyway, I like Ford interiors better than GM (at least production GM, some of the concepts are getting better). The only thing I hate on lincolns is the steering wheel tho

^ Yeap. Wow, so the next Mondeo moves from a sedan to a crossover? Looks like another product that would probably do great over here as a Mercury.

I would think that was the Variant/Wagon version.
