Looks like the Lincoln LS replacement. The side profile looks too small to be a TC. The design looks really great for Lincoln. Now if Lincoln puts a competent engine in there, they have a winner.

Looks like a winner, better than the Zephr. I don't like the Zephyr's interior, though. I hope Lincoln has a better one for this car.

I don't think that is the new Town Car. If it is, boy, did they go in a different direction design wise!!

This is the D3 (500) based LS replacement that will be positioned above the Zephyr and below the Town Car replacement. I think it's supposed to have AWD standard, and a choice of the new 3.5L Duratec (the one that will be introduced in the new Aviator) and a V8, so that Lincoln finally has a credible player in the lux (M/GS/E/5/A6/RL) segment. I realy like the design. Hopefully the next TC will look good also.

Other than that, and the now-released Zephyr, Lincoln design has remained, well, conceptual. We'll see once they actually release the fully-redone lineup.
Side note: Lincoln's the last 'luxury' automaker to not go alphanumeric in its model designations.

BlueOvalForums don't really discuss Lincoln-Mercury all that much.
Officially, Ford has been rather quiet on Lincoln. A last-minute name-changeover could happen.

Zephyr is a historic nameplate from the 30s that Lincoln has a connection to. I dont recall the Aviator being a historic nameplate for the brand, so it is easier to dump.

Lincoln D3 concept which is an LS replacement, based off volvo(s60, xc90, s80) platform. Proposed mid 2007 production. Also a longer wheelbase flagship will be based off the same platform.

I give it the exterior a strong B+. Interior; an A. This is a great looking concept. And what we see is basically what we'll be getting in about a year. It'll also get the new 3.5L Duratec. Lincoln's new strategy (like Acura) is making alot of equipment standard at a comeptitive price will work well, here. Yamaha's V8 is a good engine, but they're really coming underpowered by today's standards. When this is introduced, the price to play will be 375HP. Very nice, Lincoln.

looks great! But 20inch wheels? How big is this thing? Because honestly, I would never have known they were 20 inches by looking at the pic.
