I currently own a 2006 Ford Freestyle which has been one of the most comfortable cars I have ever owned. I used to drive Infiniti and Saabs’ Honestly this car has exceeded all my expectations. My only complaint is that I wish it was available with 8-way passenger seat adjusting ability. It performs really well, goes thru 23″ of snow with ease, and handles any load within reason. But now I’m looking forward to the Ford Flex because it looks sportier than the Freestyle/Taurus. (I like the ‘Fairlane’ name better though-Flex sounds like a fuel/hybrid version which this is not.) What I really like is the MK-T concept from Lincoln because it looks like a Lincoln-not a Mercury with a chrome package. I think it is the most exciting concept to come out of Lincoln in a long time. Every detail, the perforated design on the door handles to the lucite bezels around the gauges is all wonderful. So Lincoln build the MK-T, call it the Mark-T and you’ll have me, if not, I’m waiting for the Flex with my check book in hand. Oh and by the way my Freestyle lease is up Oct 2008. And make sure it has 8-way passenger seating adjustment for my very picky partner ‘Mark.’ So I guess you can say I’m hooked… I’ll see you at the NY Auto Show.. Ron

I currently lease a 2006 Town Car which expires in July’08..This is my 5th and last Town Car. I hope that Lincoln plans to build the MKR and becomes available in July ‘08.

Have a 2003 Lincoln LS, top of the line, 2006 Ford F150 Lariat, and 2007 Focus, top of the line. Can’t wait to trade the LS on the MKR…bring it on, I’m ready!

Been buying brand new Fords and or Lincolns since 1968, Montegos, Cyclone Spoiler, Marquee,Lincoln Town Cars, Taurus and the “fleet” I have now.

Right on Lincoln, it’s about time. I have not been as excited about a Lincoln since I had my Mark 7.
You build it and I will trade my Lexus GS in on it tomorrow!

I saw this car at the Miami auto show in nov. 07. I was very impressed with this design , in fact this the most beautiful car design I have ever seen from fomoco.( Execpt for that ugly grille) If Ford wants to sell lots of cars all they have to do is build this car. This car should be the 2009 MKZ. Come on Ford and build it.

 Congratulations on the new designs for concept vehicles. The MKR is a show piece in motion and would put Lincoln way ahead of the pack.
The new design is perfection from stem to stern and cutting the wind wave too is sensational. Get the right platform and power to match the design and the line for orders will form and it should be a production sell out. Bravo for a great American Flagship on the horizon!

  Get off your rear and start building The cars people want. Become the leader you once were. Quit being an also ran. If your present engineers can’t cut it, get some that can. You dug this hole over the last ten years by not up gradeing any of your cars. Now you are started in the right direction. Don’t falter now!!

 plzzzzzzzzzzzzz plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz plzzzzzzzzzzzzz build the mkr it is awsome, if u make it ill tell all my friends to buy it. ur dear frind jack potato and rember this all the time BUILD it PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!

 I am a Lincoln man. Always have been. I have owned several Lincolns: a 1962 Continental-430 MEL V-8, 1971 Continental-460 385-series V-8, 1979 Town Coupe-400M V-8, 1988 Town Car-302 Windsor V-8, and my current 1996 Mark VIII-4.6L (281) DOHC Modular V-8. What do all these Lincolns have in common? They are all REAR-WHEEL-DRIVE and V-8 powered! Those are the two properties a true premium luxury car must possess in order to be taken seriously in the current market. The MKR has one of those properties: REAR-WHEEL-DRIVE. However, it lacks a V-8 engine. True, the 3.5L V-6 is plenty powerful with 415 horsepower, but it is two cylinders shy of a proper premium luxury car V-8 engine. If you are so worried about fuel economy, just put a small displacement 3.5L V-8 engine under the hood with the twin turbos and get the same power and economy as with the V-6 engine of the same displacement. Fewer cylinders do not always equal better economy. Displacement, fuel management, and intake/exhaust flow are the keys to power and economy. Put a small Twin-Turbo V-8 under the hood sending power through a multi-speed transmission to the REAR WHEELS and keep the sexy bodywork and you will have a definite winner on your hands. Unlike most people, I fully realize that if this car actually does reach production, the interior will look nothing like the concept. Concept cars are showcases for the designers to flex their talent. Some of the designs are simply not designed for production. Such is the case with the MKR. The production car will probably have a much more user friendly five-passenger layout with floor-mounted shifter and console. Granted the production interior will probably be very upscale and luxurious, it will not have the flow-through lines and hard-back front buckets of the concept. Build this car and they will come. No doubt about it. The MKR will put Lincoln back on the map again.

 I would love to be one of the first people to own this most beautiful car. I look forward to the date when this car is produced, I can’t wait. This is a dream car if ever I have seen one. Ford does indeed have a better idea, and this Lincoln concept has again proven it. Keep up the good work! My first car was a Mercury Cougar. My next car should be a Lincoln MKR. You must build it.

 Build the MKR!!! It is an awesome car! Just make sure that it remains REAR-WHEEL-DRIVE!!! Don’t water it down and put it on a FWD Volvo or Mazda platform. Lincoln needs a proper REAR-WHEEL-DRIVE car to compete against the far superior cars offered by Cadillac, Merceded, BMW, Infiniti, and Lexus. If the Mustang platform is too plebian for a premium luxury sedan, switch to the more modern Jaguar C-XF platform. That would certainly put Lincoln back into the premium luxury segment where it belongs. Lincoln has been going downmarket for far too long. No longer is Lincoln associated with upscale luxury. Lincoln has become a slightly upgraded Mazda/Volvo. Lincoln needs help. The MKR would definitely help boost sagging sales. Please build it!!!

 Dear Sirs:

At sixteen my first car was a used 1972 Mark V. It took my 3 years to save for that car. It is still the car I had for the longer time. Since then I have dad 33 cars. At least a third has been the Mark line. However, Lincoln lst me to the Germans. Another third of my cars has been Audi. I tell you now Build this car as front or all wheel drive and you will have me back for at least the full run of this model!!!!!!!

I have been a Ford/Lincoln man since I was a child. You lost me when you lost contact with Henry and Etsel’s mission. However, we your customers did not forget what FORD and LINCOLN are about to us. This MKR is a return to the elegant luxury and style Etsel began. I am only 47 years old. If you want my next 33 car purchase stop playing around. Get to know use (your customers) and build this car right!

Yours Truly,
Anthony Parisio

Build it and I will buy it!!!

FoMoCo, Lincoln, Mercury, Jaguar, Mazda, Land Rover, Volvo and, Aston Marton, you go head on then. Building something close to these concept car will be perfect for your market, make america proud. Let know that you all can still build nice fuel efficient cars. Will there be a V8 Ford Taurus SHO, in the future.

This is the most beautiful Lincoln I have ever seen! I am in college right now and I drive a ‘94 Lincoln Mark VIII. I really like the car, but it’s getting old, and you discontinued the LS (big mistake!) I have been waiting for cars like this to come back in America from true Amerian car companies, and when I become an engineer, I will have my check book in hand, ready to buy one of these beauties, if they are produced! Be smart, Ford, build this thing!

this is the vicle of its kind ,no one has in market .i ll love to c that one in market … and ll buy/

This car is hot and I can’t wait to drive one. How big is the trunk? I am an LS owner who is looking for my next Lincoln and just found it. Build it now!

Very impressioning automobile (MKR) and I highly recommend the sooner the better to put this out in the market.. It will sell like hot cakes.

It is about time Lincoln started showing some life again. For so long the imports have been far more innovative and stylish, reducing the American Luxury automobile to no more than a second rate wanna-be. I hope with the introduction of this brilliant MKR concept Lincoln is reasserting itself and reclaiming its proper place atop the field of luxury automobiles. I am a young professional who has recently been looking at Audi and BMW as I am considering what kind of Luxary car to buy. Thank you for giving me a viable superior American option. I would even wait to buy a new car if you are planning on putting this concept and similar models into production anytime soon. In other words, it would be a monumental mistake not to put this wonderful concept into production now. Seriously, who ever designed this car needs to be promoted to Top Ford Designer if such a designation exists.

Build it just the way it is and don’t overprice it. Lets keep it real and give the imports a run for the money.

The MKR is just what the doctor ordered for Lincoln. It is REAR-WHEEL-DRIVE with a powerful engine (although it is two cylinders shy of a “real” Lincoln engine), restrained yet luxurious interior and fabulously sexy and cool bodywork. Lincoln should certainly build this car and at least attempt to compete with the RWD V-8 powered cars from Cadillac, Chrysler, BMW and Mercedes. The current Lincoln lineup can’t even compete with Honda. Please bring Lincoln back to the PAG and make the brand a true “Premium Luxury” car instead of a pseudo entry-level near-luxury brand!! Don’t let the MKR go the way of the wonderful Mark 9 and fantastic Continental concepts of a few years ago.

I just was at the Washington, DC, auto show today (1/27/07), and the MKR had non-stop crowds. You’ve got it…go with it! I am a hard-core, die-hard Lincoln guy. I own a 1972 Mark IV, a 1979 Continental Town Car, a 2005 Town Car (and a 99 Mountainer). I’ve had a Navigator and an LS, too. But I’m frustrated with the delay of getting the MKS out (we’ll see what happens with the MKR). I’m ready to sign a contract for the MKS right now, but the show folks tell me that its another 12 to 14 months. The MKS and MKR were the first Lincolns I’ve been truly enamorned with since the Mark 8…get these cars out there!

You (Lincoln) need to be aware that we “mid-Boomers” with our excessive disposable income, are who is going to buy your cars. We grew up knowing Lincoln was it…give us something to buy!

Finally, something to get me out of my ‘97 Mark VIII. I hope that I don’t have to wait until that car hits 200k miles. I’d probably be in a Cadillac before then.

The new MKR is amaziing…..looks like Lincoln has a winner in its hands. Build it and Pull all Americans to the Lincoln showrooms!!! ( donot delay the production of it……getset…go!!!!)

youre cocepts look great build them and they will come

Absolutely Beautiful, please build this car, bring Lincoln back to strong Luxury, not bland luxury, as the TownCar has become, my favorite year of the newer TownCar was the mid 90’s model. p.s. I love the tail lights, use that type of light on more Lincolns.

I love it build it buiild it build it and i will buy it. build it just like the consep

Build it!, Build it!, Build it! The powertrain is already there. It’s built on a mustang platform correct? The hardest challenge is die devolpment for the sheet metal. From a cost perspective, I know how expensive it is to develop a product from clay, production version, and onto assembly. If the Lincoln Brand want’s to compete in the luxury market with the Cadillac, BMW, Mercedes, and Lexus; this vehicle must be in the showrooms within the next 2 to 3 years. Ford, we must get away from the “boring” styling and start producing vehicles like this MKR.

totaly cool! the most awsom car at the show!

This concept vehicle is very luxurious and a seemingly practical design for lincoln I beleive that this model car if it were to be produced would be an excellent seller for Lincoln.

I think this is a pure thing of beauty,,, absolutely stunning..
BUILD IT !

Now this is a car! ford you go 2 winners to save your company, the interceptor and this. buld em both

you should just build this car as is

I love the new Lincoln MKR, I will buy this car soonest hit the market, I always buy the Lincoln Mark for the past 25 years is been my favorite car, I stop buying cars hopping that the Mark car come back I am running the last Mark come to the market is been many long years, now I am ready to buy this new type is not Mark but it is a new Mark for me.
