It's a little too small to be a Lincoln IMO, but at least it looks good outside & great inside:

Here's the concept from last year:
http://www.lincoln.com/lifestyle/concept_cars_6.asp#

 

Ugh.....I like the LS better.
Looks like Ford's tradition of rebadging will continue.

 

I saw those pics of the Zephyr on autoweeks forums last week, and the more I see it the more I dislike it.

 

Front end's not too bad... rear end is yucky though -- looks like the new Accord (that's NOT a compliment).

 

That third photograph looks a lot like a Saturn LS.

 

It's OK - I wouldnt mind seeing that theme on the Lincoln vehicles comming up, but just a little softer. They need some sort of brand identify to tie it all together like Art and Science does for Caddy. The interior just seems too hard (if you can describe an interior as "hard") to me.

 

Jeez, does every new car have to try to look like an Audi now? And that retro interior has got to be the ugliest I've seen in some time. No warmth or beauty all all.

I agree that the current LS is a far more handsome car. I predict slow sales for Zephyr.

 

looks like an avalon and a CTS had a baby and maybee something is missing in the back of the car..the prototype of the cars rear looked more apealing to me.

 

I really wish they would have gone with the concept idea. Low and wide stance. Looks more sexy.

 

I don't think it is too bad... I'd give it a 6 of 10 for....

 

I like it, my only complaint would be that it is FWD. AWD should have been standard NOT an option. Luxury & FWD don't mix. Where is the DOHC 3.5L?

If priced right it will do very well. Lincoln needs more cars. LS is starting to feel old and the Town cars are for limo services and the retired IMO.

 

:blah:

 

Not good. It looks very boring and looks like a Volvo. I have to agree that the interior is the worst part about it. It seems to work more in the Navigator but here it just looks out of place and odd.

 

Hmm, I like the concept better. It's not bad, but...I really can't put it in words. It just looks weird to me. Fortunately Mercury's version looks better.

 

Audi? I think it looks more like a luxury Mazda 6.




Though the steering wheel could be better, the combo of wood & metal without the standard issue drab gray material most foreign interiors have looks pretty good. Then again, that's just my taste. I do like it better than CTS' interior.
