It looks really good. Derivative, yes, but what isn't these days. I find this much more visually appealing than the current Genesis, which is not a bad looking car by any measure but is rather anonymous. Hyundai did a nice job here.

I have just one complaint:

Because a manual is "sporty" and wood is "luxury"
What if I want both? Ridiculous, isn't it?

Personally, I'd take a Brooklands or Azure over any variant of the Mulsanne, principally because I can't stand that goofy Spongebob Squarepants face they put on it. To answer your question, I believe the Mulsanne cabriolet has been cancelled for the time being, though truth be told I'd rather see a refresh before any…

Ah, one of my favorite debates. As a fan of luxury cars, I must first state that, in my mind at least, wood = luxury. I quite like the look, and would not buy a luxury car without wood trim, or else I'd swap it out for wood. I have a strong appreciation for the classic look and warm tones that a few nicely finished…

That. Looks. Awesome.

it has to be this

There is only one way I can answer this question

I believe this is a fair and accurate review of what IMHO amounts to a mediocre offering from Lincoln.
My thoughts:
Exterior/Styling: From the A-pillar back, I like it. Especially the rear end and rear 3/4 view. From the A-pillar forward, I hate it. I can't get over that bulbous baleen front end, and that grille is…

Actually, for longitudinal applications (A4, A6 etc.) Audi uses the Torsen system, which is a fully mechanical permanent four wheel drive with either a 50:50 font-rear default torque split, or in more recent applications 40:60 front-rear default. Only in transverse applications such as the A3 & TT does Audi use the…

It's radar-based active cruise control; the shield protects the long range radar sensor which is behind the grille. There's a decent overview here.

There is a resemblance, I'll give you that.
I'll throw another one of my favorites in here for the hell of it.

That rendering is lacking a lot of detail. We all know by now what the basic shape will be (a lot like the current one, and that's a good thing), but it's the details that will make or break it. IMHO the headlights look too narrow, leaving too much plain space in the front of the car. Not really liking that rear…

They want how much? $70K... For a freaking Kia?!
Don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely thrilled to have another large RWD sedan coming to our shores. Perhaps it will be a great car. But $70K great? I doubt it. Now, the kind of people who buy economy cars, Kia's traditional demographic, probably don't care much about…

I agree, the rest of the car looks really good, especially from that rear 3/4 view. It's that bulbous baleen front end that's the dealbreaker for me.

I must respectfully disagree. It's a bloated, ugly, overpriced Taurus. And this is the refreshed model -

Ugh... that center console is my biggest issue with the car, besides the bulbous baleen front end. Look at it - covered in Ford-standard cheap grey plastic that will scratch easily and not wear well. This is unacceptable at the price point and has no place in a luxury car. And I hate the capacitive touch non-buttons…

I hope it's something like this

Earthroamer! I want one of these SO bad
