In 2040, You May Drive a Car That Looks Like This

The Lincoln Motor Company recently revealed a quartet of concept cars aimed at depicting the types of vehicles the automaker might potentially produce in 2040

"In 2040, You May Drive a Car That Looks Like This"

So we've given up on the illusion of self-driving cars, apparently.

It looks like a double-wide coffin, a Lincoln model double-wide coffin, but still...

I'll probably be dead by then

Vile.

Why is AD always so miserly when it come to photos? It drives me nuts. Two pictures and you can’t even see the whole car?

Can someone explain those rims? Is the car being pulled along a smooth flat track? How can a car drive on tires that thin?

What an exercise in futility. The Lincoln brand, much like Buick, Dodge and Chrysler, probably won't be around in 5 years, much less 20.

Buick and Lincoln each only have 4 vehicles in their lineups (one of Buick's models is simply a stretched Encore; one of Lincoln's models, the Corsair, will probably be dropped soon and not replaced). Dodge has 3 (soon to be 2 with the demise of the Durango) and Chrysler has 2.

By 2040 the roads will be so bad because of zero investment in infrastructure that we’ll be driving electric Sherman tanks.

I hope I’m dead before this monstrosity hits the market. They look utterly ghastly for sure..🤮

And if I do have to stay here against my will, I hope by then transportation technology has advanced to lessen the burden of today’s highways and byways.

If there's one thing I'm sure of is that we NEVER drive the predicted "cars of the future"

[Quote]Lincoln teamed with design students

Twinks making cars. That explains it.

Next time, they need to get slightly more experienced engineers.

I don't think there will be many "cars", as in sedans, in 2040. That Lincoln concept will be DOA.

So in 2040 we’ll all be rappers, ballers and various thugs.

@9 Buick and Lincoln are huge in China.

The little Red Devils LOVE a Buick sedan.

They’ll fit right in with the rest of those little ol’ Wacky Racers.

I'm still waiting for the jetpack I was promised.

There won’t be humans left by 2040.

Appropriate, since I'll probably be dead in 2040.

In 2040 I'll be drooling into a cup.

What bodily fluids are you putting into a cup in 2021, you old pervert?

This is the only car I’ll be riding in by 2040. I certainly won’t be driving it.
