Nice looking car,....... maybe because IT LOOKS JUST LIKE A CHRYSLER!!!!!!!!!!! DC Has had 4 or 5 extremely impressive sedan prototypes of the last few years, this is a complete rip off of more than 1 of them. Cant they ever think of anything besides suicide doors,they are pathetic.

Although I am old enough to not let ya'll get under my skin, it is still saddening to see some of you wanting Ford to go out of business and another saying GMSucks. Without them we would have "The Big None." That vehicle above is gorgeous and it is hilarious to read someone say it looks like the Bentley-copied 300. Cars all are looking similar because the wind tunnel tells all manufacturers the same thing. That Lincoln shows some nice retro touches and yet modern styling but we know it will be lacking in power. It is unbelievable how uncompetitive Ford's sedans are for engines. Their automatic transmissions are cool though. 5 speeds, 6 speeds and CVT's rule the automatic world here where we just cannot seem to understand why Mercedes Benz offers a 7 speed automatic. GM still is putting 4 speeds in Vettes and SSR's and Neon just gave up its 3 speed. When Neon first came out, a lot of us pleaded to Program Management to make it a 4 speed auto but the official stance was the consumer is too stupid to know the difference. That is actually true for some like my wonderful but naive mother-in-law but they ended up offering the 4 speed as others move to 5, 6 and CVT's. Thnx for the post of that beautiful automobile! The "lollipop" mirrors seem a step backwards.

i want ford to crash and burn. they design produce and sell garbage. it would benefit everyone not to be cursed with there sh*t. as fro GM i would nothing more then for all car companies except DCX and GM to go out of business and then we have a dual monopoly if u will. things are better when there are only 2 big competitors. plus gm makes nice stuff.

as for the CVT read some reviews. it is crap. it is supposedly extremely slow in cold. well what good is that for people in Michigan. i wish my intrepid was 5 speed auto, but o well.

as for this car it looks good for a ford...which doesn't mean much.

Looks similar to its corporate sibling, the X-type Jag.
