No no no no no
Ford should be ashamed.....Crown Vics and Town Cars all now just history. These little Lincolns are just plain scary looking. What "fleet" is this going to match? This will certain make used Lincoln coaches hold their value. UG-LEEE I hope I never see one in person. Perhaps some professionals will shift to Cadillac.
Shame shame.

Best styling in a crossover-based hearse I've seen so far. I prefer it over the Eagle Icon and this: http://ow.ly/i/k5u0/original

From a design point of view? The front end is proportionally too small and squaty with doors and rear quarters high and flat enough to plaster billboards on, being a crossover base, and the oval side windows are set too high. I don't taking multiple interesting or unique design elements (while by themselves may be good ideas) and putting them all together in hopes of having an attractive and cohesive overall design works. For example, look at a BMW Z4. I'm not sure the guy designing the front, side, and back were all the same people or talking to each other.

Dont be shy Kevin, tell us what you really think? Hehehe! I think it is ok, have seen worse.
I wonder if there is sufficient market demand for a more purpose-designed coach? By that, I mean restyling the front body supplied by the OEM to be more formal and dignified; cut off the ghetto styling and replace it. Two fenders, a hood, and a grille should do it. With modern materials and manufacturing methods, it would certainly be possible.

that so far is the best I have seen. I don't like the nose on the lincoln either. still looks like a whale sucking plankton to me. but if they are going to use the factory glass the least they could do is add to the top of the door so that the opening goes up into the roof. that would bring up the body lines on the side to help match up with the back glass. as for changing the nose that would be simple. but then it's not a lincoln
