I'm not that precious. However, I don't subscribe to the view that all modern cars look the same, when in any post-war design era, most cars tend to be similar to each other. The world doesn't covet outré cars in large volume. Heck, to many the New Beetle and MINI were seen as a mark of individuality, yet they were so in thrall to their past that genuinely new design such as the FIAT Multipla and Pontiak Aztec were largely derided.

Quite an achievement for Ford, and certainly a knock-out among the press, but I'll reiterate what I said the other day: Man, there might not be enough distinction between this and the MKZ to make it a strong sales choice. But, fancy door handles! Interesting powertrains!
I'm really eager to see it in person next week. Could unseat the CT6 as my luxo-barge of choice at the moment.

Front yay, rear nay.
But hot damn that interior.

Interior's nice, in those colours at least, if about 6 years behind what the Germans are doing. Parts-bin switchgear maybe to blame?
Pretty faithful exterior reproduction of the concept version. Grill and lights are a bit too close to the Jaguar XF maybe. Proportions are a little bit pedestrian. Probably down to it having a short bonnet/hood compared to an S-class, 7-series or A8. Looks more like a scaled up Mondeo or Fusion than a true luxury saloon. It's too cab-forward. Might give it a little more interior space, but robs it of presence.

Unpopular opinion:
I love the rear of this car. I think those lights are one of the nicest looking things on this sedan.

Same here.
I know this might sound silly, but I kinda like the red bar thing that extends across the back of it connecting the taillights.

I know that, but isn't this car around the XF size, Lincoln's generally are cheaper then the equivalent sized offering from Europe.

I wished they went back with a hands-on shifter instead of shifter buttons for this car, those just look like they're controls for the radio/touchscreen.

So this whole subject went so quiet that I forgot it was even a thing, but I spotted this in the recommendations on YouTube just now, it was uploaded yesterday.
And this was uploaded a almost a week ago:
I actually really like what I'm seeing, all around, including that display in the rear armrest. I mean, you can still clearly see the Taurus in parts of it, but it's hard to hide all the curves of a car the size of the Taurus within another car.
