2013 Lincoln MKZ Concept is 'Smokin'! (not in a good way)
« on: January 10, 2012, 11:29:11 am »
So Ford reveled the 2013 Lincoln MKZ concept today and it promptly tried to catch fire.  The door started smoking and Ford had to shut down the presentation and clear the floor while a team of people looked at the smoking door.

I will try to find more pics

They have it all wrong.  It's supposed to blow the doors off of the competition.

Some red faces in the Ford camp, no doubt.

Two best lines I read on twitter were:

1.) "Lincoln reports fire caused by built in defibrillator

2.) "That's the first smokin' model Lincoln's had in decades"

Behind the scenes at Ford headquarters:  When should we finally call a spade a spade and kill off this brand  ???

Maybe the lesson here is never name a car brand after a guy who was assassinated.

Maybe they used the Chevy Volt battery supplier to power the electric windows.

Two years ago we got booted from the show because the Audi display caught fire.  No real shocker that it was an electric issue....
