Well, there haven’t been any class action suits against VAG for any of its cars lunching on their own drivetrains, so it’s probably not a problem.

Meh. I’ll wait...

Almost all the others look better outside (except that horrid Bentley).

All they had to do was square off the grille and make it a little more in keeping with the rest of the lines, and it would be a big improvement (my quick and dirty photoshop):

It will crush everything in the NHRA’s new ‘tow vehicle’ class.

Did I say silver or black? Of course I didn’t. But metallic robin’s egg blue has always been the favorite of the blue-hair crowd. There are thousands of other colors to choose from if you’re intent on attracting people under 60 to your brand.

In states that require front plates.

It wouldn’t have to change that much - just square it off a bit and fill the bottom. Make it look more in line with the other body lines:

Why couldn’t they make that grille a little stronger and less mopey on top, and get rid of the stupid detent at the bottom?

The grille is the problem. The overall design is more edgy and sharp, but then they have this mopey soft rounded top to the grille, and that stupid detent in the bottom... They need to fire whoever is in charge of grille design at Lincoln, they haven’t gotten it right in forever.

That’s why it’s beside the point. They don’t have to look as good as a Range Rover, because fleet drivers want XL, not M. There are some decent elements to the design, but as usual they fail to tie it all together right.

The grille and the tail lights... especially the grille detent in the bottom middle... it’s awkward. Some elements are good, but they didn’t nail the whole package.

*you’re* wrong.

“How can we make something everyone intuitively understands completely incomprehensible in our next vehicle, so that maybe some people will die?”

Other makers (like BMW) have a park button, and if the car is in gear with the door open and the brake isn’t applied, it slams the car in park immediately. Utter fucking nightmare to discover that while trying to back up a trailer with the door open (thanks for that, BMW).

Nope. The grille is still heinous, and the interior looks like it was lifted from a 1950's design study of what cars would look like in 2020.

FOUR times? Well then they’ve made a massive upgrade... but most people would still rather have the certainty provided by a car that can do it a THOUSAND times in a row... and is faster at the same time.

The grille looks terrible, and the interior looks lifted from a 1950's rendition of ‘the future’.

It’s been remedied to where you can use launch control twice in a row.
