Looks like a G35 to me. I'd rather have a G35 personally because have never known someone with a Lincoln that was under 70, but the G35 does not appeal to me either.

So I heard. I searched for about 20 seconds and found a Ford press realease saying so, but you can't go by that. Regardless, I see I was wrong, the MKS is a full sized car, in which case I think it looks very cheap and is way behind the styling of the segment.

Seeing them on a pretty regular basis around here. Ford shops are really happy with them from a sales standpoint.

Very cheap? Granted the outside could use an extra dash of imagination, but the details overall are good. And I certainly don't think the interior looks cheap. I have no idea what price segment this thing will be in, but if it's in the $30-40k range, I think it could work.

Also, Lincoln stylistically has been a company that thrives on sharp lines, trimmed-down details (meaning less is more), a very spartan look in general. I think this car fits that mold, even if it isn't perfect.

The MKS is not revolutionary, but it's hardly cheap looking.

Ford seems to be a little late with their new line-up, nevertheless their seem to be alot of Fusions/Zephyrs and some Milans driving around in at least MI, OH and IL(all based on the Mazda 6 platform). No doubt due to the big three being located in MI. Those cars have definitely less visibility in states such as California and Florida. Better than a Taurus, yes, but it will take several generations of models to make right what has been wrong for years



off topic...
There was this middle aged lady that thought she could out accellerate an S in a "Sports Luxury Sedan" Zephyr ... she failed twice
It wasn't a match anyway, but at least now she knows.

The styling of the new Lincoln family cars looks okay to me, I just dont know about the alpha designated names. MKS, MKK, etc. Maybe there is more to it, but it doesn't seem very imaginative and not anything that will be memorable to people when they are shopping for cars. I didnt really agree with Acura's model name switch but its easier to remember that a TL is differnt than an RL in my opinion.
