Check out the dash-to-axle ratio on that thing... yikes.

The Alpine looks great as is, though to be honest I probably wouldn’t buy it.
This is a way better solution than modifying the body panels for “pedestrian safety,” resulting in the bloated, ungainly appearance so many modern cars suffer from.
Best looking modern Volvo, full stop. Like the S90, I love the RWD proportions! That is one sexy wagon.
The V8, RWD performance sedan Ford always should have sold in the United States (particularly as a Lincoln, imho).
Still my favorite vehicle on sale today.
Fixed.
I wish they would quit trying to rebrand the cars as “Mercedes-AMG.” It makes it sound like some kind of joint venture between Mercedes and AMG, when in fact AMG is a wholly owned subsidiary of Daimler and has been since 2005. Plus “C43 AMG” rolls off the tongue a hell of a lot easier.
The least impressive part is the dash-to-axle ratio.
I think you’re right, it does look significantly toned down compared to the concept.
The FWD proportions of the thing are killing me.
Thanks for being here!
But it is! Holy shit!
And around the same time (when Lincoln was actually doing rather well) Ford chose to rest on their laurels and not make the necessary long term investments in Lincoln, instead foolishly buying up as many luxury brands as they could. They then tried to cut costs by sharing platforms and components with mass market Ford…
IS, GS, LS... all RWD.
I really, really like it. I think this is the best looking thing to come out of Lincoln in 20 years. I am glad the split wing grille is gone; it wasn’t working on the cars and hadn’t for a long time. The exterior styling is sharp and stately, the interior, from what I’ve seen of it, looks great. This car marks a major…
Couldn't have said it better myself.
