I really like the sheetmetal. Looks even better in person. But some interior details and ergonomics kill it for me.

Nice car. Shame about the look. This car looks like something from the past.

I've always liked push button autos.  What's the point of a space wasting and ugly shifter in an automatic these days?  Ie Toyota venza.

 Pinching ones lower back you say. The cup holders seem to have lots of room at lower back level. There's a lot to like here though and I find the looks just great...not retro at all...more responsible you might say. Gets away from over folded swoop...which is a good thing IMO. Actually a nice column change for shifting is what I personally like and the little Dodge knob seemed nice but I suppose it is only a rotate version of push buttons. Still a lot to like here. I can't give it a rating...I always seem to be swimming up-stream.

I'd agree with that - looks great from the outside, some very cool features for the price point (LED headlights, massive panoramic sunroof) and powerful engine but just some details about the interior that don't complete the package.

Ah, yet another hybrid review.  Let me spare the usual suspects of the trouble of posting their usual hybrid-related comments:

"....but believe when you're dealing with premium customers, the fuel economy of a hybrid falls second to the cache of driving a "hybrid"
As for myself the savings have to make sense above the novelty of a hybrid."

"$7K is a lot of fuel.....does it really save that much except for pure bumper to bumper situations??"

"It the same as with a hybrid, most people get to feel good , and lower dollar per km price"

 "most vehicles today are very efficient dont really see the benefits of a hybrid...."

[Fobroader]

Sparing the usual comments about the usefulness of the hybrid.....this thing is ugly. The front end is all squinty eyed and the rear end is too high and big....to this guy anyways.

[ipolski]

In the pictures, the rear end looks very... hmm... dramatic.  I'm curious how is it "in person".

I've seen that colour in person, and it's GORGEOUS.

This is definitely one of those cars that looks better in person.

Lincolns?........they still make Lincolns?
