The Lincoln team shot one second of video every ten minutes over the twenty weeks it took to put together the new MKR concept car. See how a concept comes to life.

This would be a better replacement for the Town
Car than the MKS. If the Town Car is discontinued and Lincoln does not have a suitable replacement, after 7 Lincolns, 5 of which were Town Cars, I will have to be a former Lincoln Owner.

I truly hope that Lincoln will listen to the people. We Need this car on the market. I have always owned Ford, mercury products. I have recently been leaning towards buying a mercedes or BMW, but when I saw the MKR, my jaw dropped. It is purely the sigle most captivating car I have ever seen, and I must have one!! Please build it, the world needs a change from the usual mediocreties, and this car will do just that!! Make a statement!!!. Don't change a thing, just build it, and we will come.

what a great video

 Finally a Lincoln that looks like a Lincoln should look. It is reminiscent of the early 60's without resorting to the obvious and lazy retro thing. Please build this car and don't mess up the design before you get it in the showroom. This along with the other new developments you have come up with will make Lincoln reach new heights. This looks like a logical progression from the early 60's Continentals. Good job!
Thanks,
JW

 I've driven Fords & Lincoln / Mercurys all my life. The MKR needs to go from concept to reality. With the LS and probably the Town Car disappearing from the American landscape, Lincoln needs a new replacement and I am hoping the MKR is it. Lincoln needs to move forward from ( your grand/parents kind of car) to My kind of car. I like luxury, ride, sound, and style,and I think the new MKR has it, because it's not my fathers Lincoln anymore. I hope Lincoln decides to produce it within the next two years because my current lease on my Zephyr is due in Oct/08 and I am very interested in another lease and maybe the MKR as long as they don't price it beyond what is affordable for the American driver. Too much competition out their right now and Lincoln / Mercury is going to have to follow as a leader or fall behind. Good luck Lincoln..

Wow I never realized how much effort goes in to making these concepts (considering half of them never go on the market).
Kevin says (January 9, 2007 at 6:33 pm):
Very cool stuff, amazing how many times the parts are put on and taken off over and over again to get it just right.

Interesting video. I'd like to have seen someone get in and drive it away... like me maybe.
MikeJ says (January 7, 2007 at 6:49 pm):
This was a great idea. I never realized how much effort was put into concepts. I hope this does not become just another non-starter. This is an amazing design and speaks American luxury. Hey Ford, thanks for not following the crowd. Remember you started all this, how about you reinvent the wheel once more. Show them boys how we do it here in the US of A.
John says (January 7, 2007 at 5:01 pm):
