This is a midsize entry-level luxury car meant to compete with the Acura TL, Infiniti G35, Cadillac CTS, etc.

It's based on the Mazda 6 platform so it's FWD. Power is from a Duratec V6 with a 6-speed automatic (exact specs unknown). AWD is also supposed to be available.

Nice body style to it... not bad from Lincoln.

But the interior is hideous! Look at that wheel! Quality looks to be top notch, design looks terrible.

Not sure if I'd pick a Duratec V6 over a VQ, VTEC or Northstar engine, but to me that car looks a LOT better than a CTS! Spec-V would trounce it though.

"will attract new and younger customers"

They forgot a word in their...I'm thinking...

"new, younger, and richer customers."

Unless they plan to price this car like a normal car...

I think the front grill is ugly

They don't even use Northstar in teh CTS do they?

that interior looks odd. Not bad, but just odd.

The pic is stretched vertically. The wheel is oval shaped. That's why it looks funny.
