Finally clean shots of the front and rear..not sure if I like the more vertical grill treatment on it.

Yeesh. Looks...pedestrian. Like...Toyota pedestrian.
So....a giant Fusion?
I hope that's not it...looks quite ugly to me...maybe the SHO variation will look better, shucks

Ugh Ford STAAAP!!
The body lines look like the Lincoln Continental Concept car pictures I just saw.

Same platform...a enlarged CD4
Did you see the new Lincoln continental?
Looks kinda bland .....

The more I look at it, giant fusion is right on.

Looks like it will have real fog lights this time...... At Least there's something good about the new front end :/
Is it me or does it look too much like:

Not digging it so far. But if they give it a 450HP EcoBoost from the Raptor, give it the Focus RS's AWD system, give it a 10 speed auto, and slap a SHO badge on it while keeping it under $50k, I'm sure most of us will change our minds!
Looks like a big Fusion to me too. I really hope that's not the finished product.

If that were the case it wouldn't matter what the car looked like as long as the rear looked nice...since the rear is what anyone on the road would see.
^^^haha!!!

Wow, that looks terrible. If they're going to give us a giant Fusion, that new Continental can't come soon enough.
It might make our SHO's value go up!
The Lincoln looks good. The taurus not so much. I'd definitely look at the Lincoln if it has some nice performance although not sure I want another automatic.
Sad news guys, no 3.5 GTDI in the next Taurus. There is the 2.7GTDI, but I've yet to see if thats Lincoln only, or SHO (if there even is a SHO..).
That doesn't seem saddening...
Natural progression of design advancement from a seemingly fine successor.
It's always possible to squeak out more power for a performance variant, using the same displacement/blueprint.

No sadness here, CGI block and some beefy internals will allow us to turn up the wick even more!
World debut will be on 4/18 in Shanghai, China
