When Lincoln first began their new design language and Matthew McConaughey ads, I loved it. I was happy that they were following Cadillac’s cues and refreshing their entire image, and I hoped that the end result would be yet another brand of vehicle my generation would be interested in. The MKC was unveiled and my enthusiasm held. Here was a modern-looking SUV with a lot of hype and excellent standard of luxury. I thought it would appeal to buyers of all ages and I couldn’t wait to see them on the streets.

I'm so glad he didn't have to write about my Lexus RC-F.

They should not have stolen Audi's headlight from 7 years ago. Looks stale.

Don't care for it at all. I miss the Lincoln LS.

Looks like a Chrysler mixed with a Bentley

And ss with most Chryslers, nothing an aftermarket grill won't take care of.

I like it, especially since you'll be able to buy it for $20g in 4 years. Good price for a 400hp/tq AWD sedan.

They're still targeting that geriatric demographic and it sucks for the rest of us. Whatever though, if they think they can stay afloat selling expensive cars to old people, so be it. GM has successfully moved Cadillac and Buick into a younger audience and I think they're seeing benefits from it. Maybe Lincoln thinks they're gonna steal former Buick buyers. I guess we'll see.

I like it. Maybe it's time to look into "homes"...

GM also has more potent platforms to play with besides kick ass design and engineering. Lincoln is still more like Acura than Cadillac.

Does this compete with Cadillac ATS?

If so I think the Lincoln looks more interesting, especially inside.

Pricing wise. But I think it's more against Acura TL, Lexus ES.

Interior has not changed much from the debut 3 years ago except up a bit more upgraded material.

As least they put the start/stop button above Park now, so people don't accidentally shut their car off when they want Sport mode.

Hey now, I'm totally cooperative... usually.

I like the face lift a lot. Getting tired of Lincoln's sharp bird like front ends.

It does look a bit dated already though.

[LOLzilla]

I like it. Sweet powerplant.

[freshprince1]

It's not bad...it's just a Lincoln. Maybe they truly are focusing on their prime demographic? It looks like a nice solid old person car...which is what a Lincoln has been for 2 generations...maybe there's success in repetition?

Impressive power plant!

If its good enough for Matthew McConaughey, then its good enough for me :)
