If the ads are anything like those lame MKZ vs ES commercials...

That picture on the configurator doesn't do it any favors. Bad color and wheels.
Yes I have seen them in white with chrome wheels as well. But I still don't like it. Just base on looks, I would rather have something like this.



or this

I really like the looks on the NX. I'm not sure if it is because of our age differences (I'm a lot younger than the average Lexus owner).

doesn't matter though as the production vehicle won't look anything like that.

That isn't what some sources are reporting.

Plus if you look at past LF concepts, their production counterparts looks pretty similar.

I am still not loving Lincoln's design language, and that doesn't change here. Something about the front end looks very unfinished to me, and it looks derivative while trying to appear original. That back end, with the tails stretching from one side to the other, absolutely has to go at some point. That is truly awful looking.

With that said, I hope this does well for Lincoln...they need a good core product portfolio to expand into other segments. Ideally, I'd like to see them compete with Cadillac but whereas Caddy has been fighting a good fight for the better part of a decade, Lincoln is just waking up.

Rumor has it a RWD coupe is coming to Lincoln, and let's see what the next MKS has in store. New EcoBoost, 9-Speed and lighterweight are also part of the rumormill
