The outside looks nice but the interior can use some work. It's ugly and too old fashioned for me. Could it be a Continental relacement?? I heard last year that theyre gonna come out with a new Continental around that year, but I guess not. Anybody know anything about that?

Interior too over done. Now if the EPA (so I've been told) would allow the new Commom Rail diesel in US cars that is being offered in the Jag, 2.7L 206hp, 360 ftlb torque @1800 and overall 40.3 mpg and 47.3mpg at steady interstate speed. Which for some strange reason Delphi's supplying injection/computer system and not Visteon. The EPA does not like Visteon? Visteon is only allowed to develop diesel for trucks???
So how is it that Damiler getting to intro a new Diesel? MB E 320 CDI.
Anyhow it's silly we now can have gas powered lap-tops and battery power cars.

Oh I forgot Americans can't stand the smell of diesel? Nope the sulfur is being removed in diesel and just read even in gasoline?

No its not the continental replacement, when that comes around, it will probably be named the continental. Originally posted by blueovalnews.com:

BlueOvalNews has confirmed that Ford Motor Company will officially introduce the long awaited "Baby" Lincoln LS at the 2004 NYIAS (New York International Auto Show) on 07 April 2004.
Lincoln has decided to call the new model the ZEPHYR - a name that harkens back the to original 1936 model.
The vehicle will be built off of the Mazda platform that will also be shared with other Ford models. Lincoln plans to market the Zephyr as the entry level Lincoln below the LS. Pricing should be close the $30,000 U.S.D. - hopefully, without massive incentives or rebates.
Whats with the hating on the 3.0 duratec. I think it would probably be the lincoln version that puts out like 240ish HP I believe (and that gives pretty good times in the LS, a larger car), and i'm sure the 3.5 will be significantly better, sounds to be covered on the perf. aspect.
The rear end is sexy, it would be even sexier if the tail lamps were filled with mercury vapor like the Mark VIII, that would be HAWT!

The exterior is pretty good. The center section of the dash looks like some kind of upset mechanical man's face.
I haven't seen anything about an MTX. A six speed ATX is mentioned in a few articles. Disappointing.

Overall, I like it. Bill mentioned that it will be below the LS in price and size? Gee, wouldn't that make it about the size of a, oh... I don't know... CONTOUR?!   Got any definite stats for both trim levels? Will either be available w/ MTX?

Poisonaly I think they should have gone to Chip Foose and said hey dude design us a modern Zephyr. I'll bet he'da come with something that you could get your visual teeth into. This one I'm afraid ain't fly very far (pun intended.)

The reason there's so much ignorance is that those who have it are so eager to share it.

I like the exterior, just needs a smaller grille and a bit more of an "angry" face. The interior does not fit the "spoty" theme at all! It looks like it would be at home in a Town car, not a car in the same price class w/the TSX, 3 series A4, etc. Not a bad attempt overall, but needs tweaking.
