There is uncited text in the article, including some tagged with "citation needed" since March 2023 and a very large paragraph. History.com is used as a source, which is considered unreliable on Wikipedia (WP:RSPHISTORY), while "Auto Universum" and "supercars.net" might not be considered reliable.

- Exactly which sentences are being called into question? It's hard to address if you aren't specific, particularly in a reassessment of a GA. For instance: "Like many similar cars of the time it was not operational, except for the electrical components such as the motorized trunk and front hood, although some of its innovations appeared later in the Lincoln Premiere.{{r|supercars}}" all that is being cited is the fact that many of the features of the concept car Mercury XM-800 were non-functional, which is very common with a concept car (being a non-production model created for "looks" and promotion only). I wouldn't find it so controversial or contentious of a claim that would require more robust citations. 14.1.92.115 (talk) 05:48, 20 December 2024 (UTC) (aka, dennis)
- If the issue is whether the Premiere later had these features, <ref name="flory2008">{{cite book|last=Flory Jr.|first=J.
