New 09 Lincoln MKS revealed

[FlipTrac_511]

Ford revealed the all new 09 Lincoln MKS sedan. It gets a 3.7 270HP V6 with plans for a twin-turbocharged version. I think it looks very good overall. Sure beats a Buick, but very good for a Lincoln. Nevermind that it's a Taurus platform. I like it. Kudos to Lincoln for making it look its own and not just a fancified Taurus or Sable. Well, it still is really, but not obviously so.



I predict the MKS will do well. Now the Pontiac G8...that's gonna be a hit IMO. Will Lincoln build something off of the Mustang platform? MKR?



The Lincoln website also has new info but the images and sounds are kinda crappy. Enjoy these from Insideline:

I like it. The profile shot reminds me of an Infinity G35 sedan.

Nice BUT cannot and will not be able to compete with CTS, 3 Series, C class etc. It will be more of a competitor for the Buick Lucerne if anything. Also, its front wheel drive...definitely not a true sport sedan setup. Looks nice tho

Well, AWD is available. Also, I think the true beauty is supposed to be the relatively cheaper cost compared to those models you mentioned Sean.



Oh, here's another link from Ford's official home page:
