I agree....the new front end is a huge improvement.

I'm glad they didn't change the back end and the front end looks much better though does it look at all like a Jaguar?
Front end screams Jag to me.

"Boss, Jaguar made an Audi clone."
"Really?"
"Yup."
"Well, we don't want to miss the boat. Get on it."
"Right chief"

But the new engine should be sweet.

it looks much better, but it certainly does seem to be "clonish"...the front end does look Jag/Audi like, and even the pattern in the speaker grills seems to be a copy of the higher MB products...like Sir O said though, that new engine should be a hoot.

Not only will that new engine be sweet, but it will really help Lincoln seperate itself a bit more from Ford.

Audguar? Jagdi?

Total, total mistake IMHO. The previous grille had the flow that went with the overall design, and the previous grille had finally reached a brand identity. This is generic luxury bling.

I see some Kia in that new grill, too.

I see Jag/Chrysler...the XF200?  Jagler?  Chrag?

Unlike the comments above, I would actually consider buying one (assuming a smaller version comes out - this thing looks HUGE (a la S-Class size)).

Call it the Lincoln MKA, make it no longer than 186", no wider than 72", and no taller than 60" and...well...*purr*

400hp from a 3.0T.  Not bad, Ford.  Not bad.

I wonder how close the 3.0TT it is to the 2.7 or 3.5TTs?  Same block with a shorter stroke (like Chryfi's 3.2L vs 3.6L V6)?

It does look like a Jag from the front and that side crease just above the door sills looks a bit odd.  Looks good from the rear anyway.   ;D.  I didn't like the waterfall grill either, but I was expecting something better than this after seeing the Continental concept a while back. 

Edit: I haven't seen a Navigator around in so long I had to check their website to see if theyre still being made.  They were all over the place when they first came out in the 90s.  I rented one a couple of times in the past and it was the ultimate isolation chamber.
