builtfordtough13 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I can't believe that Lincoln took the Flex to this, it looks so different. I really like it even tho its just a concept.

rmc523 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) I can't believe that Lincoln took the Flex to this, it looks so different. I really like it even tho its just a concept. Heres the link: http://jalopnik.com/344333/detroit-auto-sh...oln-mkt-concept http://www.leftlanenews.com/lincoln-mkt.html Theres more pictures for you to enjoy. The front looks good. The interior --it's a concept, so it doesn't matter. The back, from the back view looks ok, however in a side profile, I dont like the rear end, the way it slopes down as it does, it should be more straight up and down, IMO. A mixture between Flex and this would be good, I'm thinking. Edited January 17, 2008 by rmc523 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyPony Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 What price range will this be in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 What price range will this be in? I can't remember exactly, it was probably here that I saw estimated prices, but the number $60,000 for loaded models is what I'm remembering, not sure about lower models. Don't quote me on that number though, because that's just a guess really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoln Lover Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Being that a fully loaded Navigator barely tips 60000.00 it will be more than likely be in between the MKX and Navigator price range. Think 43-52000.00ish, also remember it is a Lincoln version of the Flex. Probably about 6000 or so more than a fully loaded Flex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your numbers are probably closer to what the price will actually be than mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordFanForEver Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 If the MKT goes into production, would that mean the MKR won't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 If the MKT goes into production, would that mean the MKR won't? The MKT IS going into production - that was confirmed months ago. It may not look exactly like the concept but it will be close. The MKR won't arrive until the new global RWD platform gets here - at least 2 years.

akirby Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Wow, thats along time. They need to get that MKR out now. Got any spare RWD V8 sedan capable platforms lying around they can use? DEW98 was too expensive and couldn't use the modular V8s. They built the mustang platform as a one-off that couldn't be adapted to sedans. And nobody thought to work with the Aussies to share platforms before Mulally got here. There's only so much you can do with limited money and resources. Patience.

mettech Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Don't pay attention to him, he's the one waiting to buy a Kia If it is made in the U.S., then it's on my short list. If the product isn't made/assembled with U.S. labor..... It had better be something I need......or the very best on the market. :happy feet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mettech Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Why do you say that? \ New MPG requirements may require new engines in the current Ford lineup. I'm not convince that Ford will be able to survive with so many large SUV/CUV, sedans/wagons, and trucks. :reading: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's just a matter of time before they spread out across the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
