That appears to be an old drivetrain/cooling mule.

Ford is really keeping the future Linc's under tight wraps, haven't seen anything leaked yet, anything substantial that is.

Looks like another Mondeo test mule.

Has a Mondeo-ish look, but the mirrors are wrong for Mondeo, lights as well. Could be a Frankenmule or the real thing.

Looking with a higher-rez monitor and some current models side-by-side, the lower grille looks Lincoln-ish.

Korean Cars are outselling Japanese ones...

The door handles are pretty cool...placement is similar to the 7 series...in the crease of the door.

John McElroy got to see the new MKZ (lucky so and so) and was waxing rhapsodic about it on the Autoblog podcast this week. If nothing else, the days of Fusion and MKZ looking like twins are about to end.

It will help a great deal when Lincoln gets their own design studio again. Then hopefully they can go back to making something worth buying. I wish they were more of a true competitor to Cadillac. Or a real option in luxury vehicles. As of now, they are neither.

From what I understand they already have their own studio, with Max Wolff leading a team of Linc designers independent of the other Ford teams.
