I about shat myself watching this on a whim. Felt like a cross between Blade Runner and Star Wars..

Doesn't look like much but it does raise the question as to where Cadillac, Lincoln, and Chrysler could go within the next 10 years..

Neat idea, but it looks kinda like a hearse.

FenwickHockey65 · 06-14-2009, 12:06 AM

I think I'm the only person who thinks it looks absolutely horrific.

*The_Blur* · 06-14-2009, 12:06 AM

I'd rather have a CTS.

The exterior is extremely hideous, the interior is really neat. However, this is a concept and we all know what happens from concept to production.

For a neat car that has a chance of resembling the final production model check out the Tesla Model S.

Anyone who finds anything about this car appealing ought to have their head examined. It's positivelty WRETCHED. It makes the Aztec look "cool" in comparison.

The body style is preposterous.
The interior looks like a Circa 1997 Star Trek: The NExt Generation Set
The controls look as useful as "Flexi Grips"
The seats make park benches look comfortable.

Caddy probably has to change their pants because they saw this and laughed so hard they peed a little.

Seriously Lincoln, I love the MKS. I saw it at the Indy Auto Show and absolutely loved it. I saw it at my graduation and in the middle of a picture, pointed at it and said, "That's a nice car."

And then you showed this...thing.

Downgrade, Lincoln. Massive downgrade. In all honesty, I'm not sure what they were even trying to achieve with this.

I agree with everything you said, but it could be a best seller.

At least its somewhat unique. Not something I'd buy or drive or ride in... However there are people out there that would buy that.
imo Current Lincolns have the grossest tail light looks that I've ever seen.

I don't really care for the current caddys body stylings either but I do like their performance powerplants. =)

Then again I am really against trends/sheeping and to me the trendhoppers would be the kind to buy into something like that.

And to the rest of this thread, my posting this was kind of that point. It's almost like a pet car that CAFE and the admin. can put in their pocket and say to GM/Chrys "See, why can't you build this?"

"Well because it has limited return potential and limited appeal.."

"And the Camaro doesn't?"

"You sumbich.. alright, when do you want it.."

Hey, it's true. If you look at it as what I said: Where Caddy, Linc, and Chrys could go to maintain sales within the luxury market that could potentially be penetrated with new-age college grad/chic city people..

May make you puke, but it could very well generate sales and a new trend that may have the Imports trailing US.. Just think about it.
