Wow. This is a true example that we are returning to 80s boxy designs (and not just the instrument guages on that car!). If the trend continues as is, I will probably never buy a car that's newer than an '02.

Man that's one sterile interior.
Is it just me? The center dash unit looks like a 1950's toy robot.

Not too bad looking, but that interior completely ruins it for me. Ugly really isnt the word for that.

Thank god they fixed the trunk. Last time I looked at the models for the car (admittedly it was months ago I last saw the Lincoln clay) the trunk lid was nasty. It looks pretty sharp now.
As for the interior, it looks much better in person, the pics don't do it much justice because of all the light colors. I'll admit that the blonde wood is pretty goofy looking.

ugh I hope it has nothing similar to the 80's Mercury Zephyr's. My parents had a Zephyr station wagon and it was horrid. It never worked properly.
It was ugly even back then. Should never have been made.

The gauge cluster resembles the Mopar K-car, Charger, Omni, etc... That's about the only fault I can see for the car, other than Lincoln will charge way to much for it...
