It’s massive, and the way it opens is unusual, sliding down overtop the rear window.
The arrow is pointing how far it slides down.
But here’s the result – the cabin is almost all-open.

I chatted with Ford & Lincoln’s head designer Moray Callum, the gentleman who basically gives Ford its face.
Read it online at Autonet.
5th paragraph – Moray’s metaphor on why millimetres matter – imagine altering a face in Photoshop, 8mm here and 6mm there and woah, a totally different face is looking back at you.
Second favourite:
Moray: You still have to design for the idiot that doesn’t wear a seat belt.

2.0L outputting 141 hp and 129 lb.ft of torque.
Fuel economy rating is 4.2 L/100km, I got 6.9 L/100km.
Massive sunroof, woodgrain trim, and all the safety aids that are en vogue, bundled into a classy styling.
The wide-open interior is thanks to the E-shift. See the buttons running down the left side of the screen? That’s Drive / Reverse / Park / Neat eh.
Here’s a video [from last year] – the push button shift in action.
When they climbed inside, this interior made all my passengers get wide-eyed and go “ooohhh“.
They did last year too, so if that’s the effect you’re looking for, confirmed: this Lincoln will give you that.
Lincoln has an event on right now, #UncoverLuxury
This is very rare (usually the hybrid version is thousands more.)
Comfortable, perforated leather seats, and soft-touch everywhere.
2 large executives will fit easily into the back, where the rear seats are heated too.
Touch-controlled everything.
Too bad I didn’t notice the shadow on the door there, this was almost a good shot.
