I'm the guy who did the render.

C'MON LINCOLN! You've done it before, you can do it again! This car needs a spiritual heir and Lincoln desperately needs to be cool again. Win/win!

I think it depends on where you live. If/when I move back within the Chicago city limits again, I will probably buy something smart that gets great mpg's, because I'll have few opportunities to go fast anyway (last time was with a 2002 GTI and a '72 280 SEL - both to varying degrees the opposite of that). However,

Pretty sure the vast majority of the hate is going to fade away once people start seeing them on the streets.
