I like it a lot. Not as much as the Continental as I prefer big sedans but as an SUV it's very nice.

As a former owner of the 2007 gen of the Navigator L, I love this concept twice as much. The more of this "overstuffed Range Rover" look that remains, the more likely I will buy one. Love it!

Looking at this I wonder if this shares chassis with the current Explorer more than F150 ?

Not sure what you mean, it's the new Lincoln Corporate grille as already shown on the production MkZ and Continental.
Looks like you copied KIA of all people:

Sorry man, just don't see it. To me they look nothing alike unless you're really stretching and just trying to find something to claim it's a knockoff of.

To me it's more reminiscent of the recent Jaguar grills, but still not close enough to think they were even inspired by them.

Grille is not a lot different to what it already had. Saw an older one today.

What? I'm no big fan of this thing, but the rear overhang? It's freaking tiny compared to my Expedition EL:

I genuinely think you wouldn't be able to get the door open more than about halfway at the parking garage for my office. That think looks about 12 feet high with the door open.

Psst it's a concept not the real deal. Every article says the Gullwing doors aren't for production.

The wheels give me a headache and everything else is just blah.

The doors could work if you hinged them so the the sides remain parallel to the sides of the truck as they go up.

I'm interested to see what it looks like on real production rims. The concept rims are a bit much but that's the point. I think the overall design looks nice particularly from the side/rear 3/4. I like the headlights/fender vent line. I hate the grille but didn't really like the old navigator grille either. I understand the doors/steps/interior are just boundary pushing to check reaction/grab attention. I hope the overall look makes it into production. I suspect it will given the actual side windows and B pillar. No reason to even have a b pillar unless the production design is pretty close.
