Thumbs up Upcoming D3 Lincoln

This is over at blueovalnews.com



There is a video of the front lighting system too.

Pretty sharp.

I know you guys are hungry for anything in regaurds to the NAIAS (Camaro being highest priority) and though I would drop this in here for you all.

Neat. Adaptive front lighting is definitely nothing new, but using LEDs to do it is something we've known for a while was the 'next step' but it's cool to see it finally happening.

Gotta say, with the new Zephyr and now this, I think Lincoln's styling has officially started going down the tubes. It's edgy, but I think I prefer the styling of the old Lincoln LSs a whole lot more.

Re: Upcoming D3 Lincoln

Seriously, did Lincoln's head designer get up one morning, start to shave, and suddenly realize "WHOA! New styling direction!" I mean every new Lincoln/Lincoln concept features this grille theme.....

Quote of the day right there folks! Having said that though, I think the car looks sharp.

Well seeing as the Ford Fusion looks like a Mach III razor, I'd say they're spreading out the razor theme across the family .

IMHO the old LS was MUCH nicer looking on the outside.

Re: Upcoming D3 Lincoln

That car is sexy, and edgy at the same time, exactly what Lincoln needs. This "love it or hate it" styling is what saved Cadillac, it is doing Lincoln some good as well.

I agree that bolder styling played a major part in Cadillac's turnaround...... but, when I look at these new Lincolns, I don't get the same feeling of prestiege that I get when I look at most new Cadillacs.

I think they are fairly classy looking (even if I do agree with the razor comments), but more along the lines of the Buick level, rather than Cadillac.

Re: Upcoming D3 Lincoln

Being that I am starting to see alot of Zephyrs on the streets (more than Fusion! ), I guess the public likes it.

This based on the FWD-AWD Five Hundred/ Montego platform I presume?

Re: Upcoming D3 Lincoln

I like it, the front view looks very aggressive.
