Spotted this on the way home from work the other night. Manufacturer's plates, can't quite make out the letter after the MK. I thought it was MK7 but I can't quite tell if it's a 7 or not. Any ideas?

EDIT: Just figured out it's a new Lincoln MKT. Thought it was a pre-production model but I guess it's available now, so I'm assuming it was a Lincoln employee driving it. Oh well, thought I caught something special on camera lol.

 

I think it's a mistake that won't last long.

 

^

I'm hearing that they are selling pretty well...I'm not such a fan of it, either..

 

 

They need to re-do that rear end. Start by scrapping the taillight assembly. It looks like the pulled it off of a late 90's Mark VIII. :thumbsdow

 

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

 

the flex is sooo much better

 

Get that piece of crap off the road

 

^ they seem like very nice vehicles, but the exterior styling is just horrible, and for that reason i would never consider one

 

teh aztek is back!!!!!!

 

wow, that thing is terribly ugly

 

^^^^^^hahaha with all the positive replies, i guess im glad i can't see the picture at work lol


edit: just googled the car, fckin hideous!

 

most of the lincoln lineup looks like ass

 

that rear is

 

So is the front:

 

Ford needs some serious help with their luxury brand. It's a unique design, but that's where it ends. It's like their material and build quality suffers probably due to pricy labor, but design is something that can't be excused. There has to be hundreds of young, trendy and qualified designers and engineers that can put together something more along the lines of Cadillac, Mercedes, Lexus etc...

 

^I couldn't have said it any better

 

reminds me of this bad guy from SMB2

 

 

Considering everything they make is based on a current Ford, they'll need styling help and fit/finish help. The first is obvious. The second, well, they have to buy out a lot of the older workers and get the union to come to the table.

Plus, take the "cash reserves" they boast, and buy better plastics and trim pieces. hell, have their top engineers sit inside an Audi. I mean, if they are going to price their stuff at that level, try to field a competing product.

OP: I forgot to identify the Lincoln. My guess =

 

Another car designer stolen away from Acura!

 

I sat in this at the Cleveland Auto Show. The interior is great! The rear looks like ass, however.

 

Holy crap, that thing is ugly.
