Lincoln Previews MkC with NAIAS Bound Concept

[Logans Run]

The interior looks great.
I really like the back end, except for how it bumps in so much above the taillights.
I really hope they smoothe out or eliminate the shoulder ridge on the sides. That look is just too generic now, and reminds me of Nissan or Hyundia.
The C-pillar should be more upright, and the window much larger. The blindspot must be huge.
The front grill looks better here than on the MKZ, but...well...we've seen it already, and it doesn't look upscale enough.
The little details do help the exterior, but when I see the vehicle form the side, I just don't see Lincoln.

The reveal photos today give me a better feeling. The grill looks better integrated and upscale from these angles.
I am still at odds with the shoulders and the small c-pillar window.

I love it all.
Don't change a thing.

From Autoblog:

The showcar is expected to closely mirror the production model (due as early as later this year), so much so that Ford global marketing boss Jim Farley explicitly told the press conference masses, "When you see the MKC, do not think concept."

EXCELLENT

I think its already been mentioned, but I love how they've brought the grill detailing inside to the ventilation openings! I'm still not sold on the split wing grill, but love that detail inside!

Amazing design. I hope the power liftgate makes it to production as is. Everything about this vehicle says first class all the way.

The original Concept C has come a long way to becoming a reality. Similar to how the original '36 Zephyr came to life. The Briggs-bodied Zephyr and Concept C show cars were odd looking for their time. The production '36 Zephyr came to life looking much better. The same can be said for the new near production MKC.

Can't wait to see the next MKX and MKS.

Congrats to all.

When I had a glimpse into Ford’s product future years ago, before Mulally arrived even, I was very bullish, and voiced that excitement on forums like this over and over and far above the occasional negative remarks otherwise. Looking back now, I would say my enthusiasm was justified.

Well, I am even more bullish on Lincoln’s future. The team is in place. The commitment is stronger than ever. Product is on the way.

LINK???

as I said I *love* the shoulders but wonder how much will be on the production cuvlet
&but
I dislike most-all C-pillar windows just because imho they're functionLESS due to the thick doorframes blocking any view thru them from the driverseat;
would rather see them tucked onto the door itself (also making it easier for the door-window to roll all the way down!)

We all miss Mercury.
But is it worth hating on every Lincoln that comes along?

This is a good looking CUV, far better than any Mercury, ever. Heck, even extreme GM fans love this styling.

I agree with Mercury & Buick Fan. As for Me, I can't afford to buy a Lincoln. The Lincoln may look great. The botton line is I can't afford to buy a Lincoln. The Mercury was priced where I could afford it. The Merc looked better than Ford. My friends mostly have Hondas. I didn't want to go there, but they are affordable. I may buy a Ford if they ever come out with a Thunderbird.

Ok, so, you want another enterely different car!... I think this concept looks very good... is a Lincoln? i dont know... what is a Lincoln today? What is a Lincoln in the century 21? Lincoln never was a compact crossover... but that kind of car is the volume seller in the near luxury market... so, Lincoln must make a good compact crossover to compete...
