Lincoln Previews MkC with NAIAS Bound Concept

[Andrew L]

This shows how far the radiator grille has evolved since first appearing on the '69 Mark III all the way to what we see above.

One can only imagine how the twin wing grille will look 40 years from now.

It's too bad, I miss it!

I agree! I don't like the new MKS compared to the old one

And I agree on the old grilles!

I think they need to use this grill! specially in the new navigator

Thanks, Jose!
I like this:

BUSSE: ...but of course this is a show car, so it’s tough to say what will survive in production, but the mirrors will not make it, the handles will probably not make it, that little funky detail will not make it, but the overall body, I think is quite successful.

MT: Funky detail?

BUSSE: That chrome detail (on the bottom of the doors), I bet my money that’s not going to make it to production like that.

What usually designers do is, this is a production car and then they say “let’s go to the show and make it a show car,” so they throw a few little details on there like the small headlamps, small little details that usually are either not feasible or too expensive for production, but you can play with them in a show car...

cuz
as I've already posted, imho that detail is too rectangular for the shoulders (my fave part)
Kinda think a simpler shape (partial ellipse?) might be good and might actually make it on the production C

I like the new mkz grill, I think it will fit fine in the new mkc, mks, mkx but in the navigator and mkt/aviator they should use the 2003 navigator grille again

I feel that Ford will be let down if Lincoln doesn't reach 18% sales increase this year. At the St. Louis Auto Show, few people were at the Lincoln display. I'll give it 2 to 5%. Wish them luck! I don't mind being wrong!

At my auto show I was quite saddened to realize that more people were looking at regular production cars than the MKZ rotating that had never been seen before in person by many.

I don´t know if it´s the lights or what but there is some awkward line on the right side of the hood of the mkc concept in this picture

like this one, Jose??

(autoblog is less co-operative than NetCarShow imho)

I don't see anything different one side from the other,
do you mean driver's or passenger side?

on the driver side, the right side of the hood there is a line near the windshield, maybe it´s just the lights
