Pics from www.autobild.de. Ford is displaying this car at the IAA. BTW, the car looks like "a future Mazda RX-8". I see a lot of design cues from the RX here, but that's not surprising since Ford owns Mazda. Just thought the pics would be interesting. Personally, I think it looks pretty good.

The doors are interesting and cool.  :rockon:

The interior, wacky.  :o

There definitely is some RX8 in that car, it's very attractive. I do hate the interior, but very few concepts have normal interiors that make it anywhere close to production.

Good to know about the interior. Though I have to admit that steering wheel looks badass. It would be great for a new "Knight Rider" TV series.  :lol:

That's a car with a unique look, I like it.

Wow, that is sexy! My only complaint is the headlights look like they belong to an Infiniti. What are the chances of production? What platform is it on?

You think Infiniti? I was thinking Lexus. <_<

I was thinking Lexus headlights, RX8 side profile, Aston Martin curves. Very attractive combination, really. Interior, like most concepts, is odd, but interesting. (Not appealing, though)

You're my age.  We're getting old.  Plus, now that you're married, your life expectancy has gone way down, since you're more likely to be poisoned by your wife.

Sweet looking car, but I can see the Jaguar emblem on it rather than the blue oval.  

Raza

Looks like a cross between an RX-8, Vanquish, and XK.  

Pretty decent, though.  I like it.

I absolutely love it...its a great design exterior wise, and would help Ford a lot should they decide to produce it.  The interior is wacky, but hey, most concept interiors never make it into production unless they are conventional.

Lincoln makes "good" cars, but they certainly don't make anything exceptional.

Good as in appealing = none.  The LS is OK but old school at this point.

I don't think Autobild mentioned those infos. But I am sure an English website will pick it up soon and be more specific.  ;)

the only thing i don't like about the exterior is the puny side view mirrors.

Considering it's a concept, I bet those are cameras, not mirrors.

I'm 100 percent certain they are cameras...there is almost no room to have any mirror there, so if they were just mirrors, you wouldnt be able to see a thing.

Wow, that car is freakin' hot. I definitely see RX-8 and Aston Martin in it. I really hope they produce this, since it would probably come out around the time I'm ready to buy another car.
