This car is so meh. I don't understand all these hipsters who think the car is retro. Maybe I can't get past the knowledge that it is a Lincoln LS underneath and drives in the same meh way. And the interior looks like someone took a Lincoln LS and went full ricer. It is supposed to evoke the metal painted interiors of the past but with the black top dash and, again, Lincoln LS radio/HVAC, it doesn't pull it off, at all.

To me this is in the same boat as the PT Cruiser and HHR. At least the HHR SS was a legitimate performance car.

So much teal...

I will say the Lincoln LS platform is probably totally fine for a boulevard cruiser with the 3.9L V8 providing juuuust enough get up and go to not be totally pathetic. But that's a pretty tepid way to describe what these folks are all excited about, isn't it?
