Lincoln MKS lots of pics

Saw this when I was working last week. The guy claimed to be from JD power and was testing it.

The exterior looks hideous, just like the new Nissan Murano. The front looks like a whale and the back just doesn't look right. Looks like there is something missing. Gives me that cheap unfinished look which reminds me of Saturns and the new Impreza sedan.

This car is not built on the same platform as the Mazda6, nor does it look anything like a Mazda6. You're probably confusing it with the MKZ, which is built on a modified Mazda6 platform.

Too bad the Buick died.

255's are pretty wide for a stock tire.

The leather seating looks like all the othe stock cars out there.

And they are uncomfortable.

good luck selling the gas guzzler at 5 bucks a gallon.

a little blah, nothing terribly attractive about it. too bad

twin-turbo v6 is supposed to debut a year after launch, so shouldn't be a terrible gas guzzler

I'm sure it gets much better mileage than my RX-8.

You really like your G8 GT, don't you... I swear, that's all you talk about. There's some other dude on here that all he talks about is his GTO. Bunch of doofuses.

I agree the MKS is not the hottest, but it probably appeals to some older folks.

Transam kid 01, was anybody watching as you were taking 10,000,000,000 photos of a Lincoln in a parking lot? Stalker...

Interior looks like a Jaguar.............exterior looks like it could be a nice Hyundai.

Not impressed.

It looks like Lincoln and Mazda had a comptetition to see who could build the uglier sedan. Lincoln won by miles

Before we judge the car we have to drive it.

It may be very nice and comfortable, quite, and fast too!

lol, the guy was attending a party that I was working. I asked him what he thought of it and he said "it's a ford" (with a really condescending tone) and he said that he thought it would not sell well.

As for the 10,000,000,000 pics, figured I might as well get every kind of angle

Can someone tell me if this uses the same chassis as the Fusion?

I do not like the looks of this vehicle, and I especially dislike the interior. Lincoln has managed to introduce some circa 1980's styling (lots of squares and rectangles) into this car. If that was their intent, I don't understand it.

I am really trying to be objective here. I'm not a fan of a lot of the exteriors of new cars coming out now, whether foreign or domestic. But Lincoln has just managed to outdo any other 'luxury' car maker in terms of terrible interior design.

I drove a 1991 Towncar from when I was 16 years old to when I turned 23 and moved out to Phoenix and got my RX8! I love that car but for totally different reasons than the RX8.

I've not driven the TC for 2 1/2 years as I've not been back east. I'm really curious to see how I'd react to it. It's still in awesome shape as I took good care of the car.

Anyway, I drove with a friend in his Dodge Magnum some time back, I honestly felt sea sick from how that car sways from right to left with the massive body roll. He thinks it's a sports car cause the V8 will carry that tank to 100 mph. I honestly never missed bolstered seats SO much in my life and the leather had me flying all over the place.

I haven't been that happy to get back into my own car in a long time. I love my Towncar but I'd honestly never buy one again.

^Just the same, I drove a DeVille when I was 16. Loved it, but couldn't get another.

I would buy a Cadillac a million years before I would get that ugly Mk S. The CTS is actually really cool.

When Ford goes bankrupt making ugly cars like that, can I buy their part of Mazda? I have been saving for a few years.

Nice find, as far as the styling: not bad but still not my style.

Cadillac still owns...
