Cadillac Forums: I sat in the Lincoln MKS yesterday
Maybe they'll come up w/a ricer wannabe coupe like the CTC and their design problems will be solved !! !! !!
The pointy front end of that MKS w/the huge rear looks like a blinged up beady eyed 400# gal sucking on an unripe persimmon. And this thing was supposed to replace the Town Car at one point...? The Town Car front end would look better than what they did.
The Taurus and Sable are absolutely hot in comparison...and the MKZ as well. (And I think all 3 are acceptable at best...)

That car would be a disaster as a livery vehicle. It has a trunk opening the size of a Porsche 911. Good luck getting a set of golf clubs in there. Lincoln is Prattin' clueless...

The MKS is so hot looking. I cannot wait for the TT 3.5 to get under the hood
If you think the MKS looks hot, then you must think the Buick LaCrosse is incredibly sexy. My gawd, and you're only 24? Lincoln took a decent design and did their trademark castration before release...
Cadillac decided on Art & Science, stuck to it, and had the engineering and parts to back the looks up, and look at them now. .
Dont like the Cadillacs either. Ok, I'll take a CTS V even though its semi-ugly just because of the drivetrain and 4 doors. Interior sucks too but its got a good heart.
That's an insult to Hyundai. At least the latest Hyundai styles are clean and linear, not a slab of shapes and inconsistent lines...
I'm am noticing public perception of Hyundai has changed a lot over the last few years. Who would have thought?. I remember when they just came out and much like the Yugo were the butt of almost every automotive joke. Today they are competing with and surpassing cars built by the likes of Toyota and Honda, etc. Impressive.

The LaCrosse looks alright, it mostly depends on the color IMO. I was digging the Park Avenue Ultra that was at the NYC auto show though. But the picture that was posted of the MKS in silver doesn't do it justice. The one they had at the NYC auto show was beautiful. If you haven't seen it in person then reserve your judgment until you do see it in person. I was iffy about it in the pics but once I saw it there was a huge difference. What I would love would be for the TT 3.5 version to come in AWD and with a stick shift option As for Lincoln's usual castration on their vehicles, ehhh.......it's a hit and miss thing. The new Navigator's exterior is ugly but the interior is beautiful. The MKX looks great in certain colors but looks ugly as sin in others. The one consistent that I do like with Lincoln is their interiors. Since I spend most of my time inside the car I'm much more worried about the interior then what the exterior looks like.
I followed one down the road the other day ......... took todays design cues and stuck on the car with little attention to taste or aesthetics. To be honest it reminded me of what Cadillac did to the Cavalier when it made it into the Cimmaron (sp?) back in the '70s!

The Cimmaron was from the 80's and to compare the Cimmaron to anything Lincoln has ever made is the ultimate slap in the face. The Cimmaron was nothing more then a rebadged Cavalier, I can't think of one Lincoln that was as blatant of a rebadge then the Cimmaron was. But are the MKS's even out yet?
EDIT: According to Lincoln the MKS isn't out until summer of '08
