I think it looks awesome, but on the otherhand, they had an AWESOME car already, which they as per usual, dropped. That was the 2003+ Lincoln LSV8, especially the LSE or Ultimate models. They had a cosworth 3.9L V8 that made 280hp, and 286 ft lbs of torque, a 50/50 weight distribution, chasis and suspension from the Jaguar X-type (solid rear axle with panhard rod, and control blades), etc (the 05+ Mustang uses this setup too btw).
They need to let the guys in the engine depot put their really ballsy engines in stuff. Even the Duratec 35 would be an awesome engine as a base engine, with as much hp and tq as a Nissan Maxima, but only requires 87 octane. I know they are also planning to make a Duratec 38, an even more bored and stroked duratec 30 basically, or even one with FI. If they offered that car with the engine and driveline from the Mustang, you'd have a 4-dr mustang basically. That would be awesome too.
