When i saw the pic all i could think of was G35 and M45, the grill is overwhelmingly familiar to the infinity line... Kudos to Ford if they build it, i guess this was what came of the Ford 500...

Looks good but too long, gotta love that V-10 though... great find

It almost looks like a modern inerpretation of a full size RWD Oldsmobile to me....that is if GM were still in the Olds business.

Wow! I was just gonna make a joke about Ford ripping off the old Fairmont style in order to take its sedans retro, but it seems they've gone and done it already!

It's not what I hoped either...

Ugh. Looks like Ford tried to copy a CTS but couldn't pull it off. The front end is way too blunt and square. The rear end could be worse... but does remind me of a Fairmont. The car seems like it is not yet finished, especially the sides. Keep trying, Ford.

It's not bad. I kinda like it. BUT, it looks too much like the current Cadillacs. And not nearly as good. The details leave a lot to be desired.
Keep working at it Ford.

ANOTHER retro car by Ford??? They must be out of ideas. They right now have the GT, 2005 Mustang, Thunderbird, and now the 427, all retro cars. That's simply too much.
