A FWD DTS competitor? "V8 power and torque"? Maybe in 1995, but today, V8's in the lux class are all in the mid-300's. (I assumed FWD, I didnt see RWD noted anywhere)

They ripped off the quattroporte's tailights, (which is a good thing, but not innovative) and I dont like the steering wheel. Otherwise it looks like a new Lincoln.

I think it's based on the XF (and vice versa), so RWD.

To me this cars looks like the answer to the question that no one asked. It looks OK, nothing special.

The pricing is completely out of proportion for what it being sold/presented...

If this isn't rethought, this may be little more than another step in the (rapid) decline of Lincoln.

Wow! I'm surprised and impressed--it actually looks good!

And, SURPRISE, SURPRISE, there's the JAGUAR XF INTERIOR. I was wondering why it was so un-Jaguar, it really does work better in the Lincoln lineup.

I'll bet the Lincoln MKS is based off the Volvo S80.

You are correct, minus the Yahmaha V8 in the S80. Thought I must say they did a great job seperating the two.

whats going on in the middle of that dashboard?

hi de ous

and 270hp????? competitors' V-6s are offering 300+ with optional V-8s.

nice try, Ford. I wouldnt sell Jaguar just yet. Cuz Lincoln as a luxury brand just aint cuttin it, they're barely a notch above Mercury. Shameless what they haave done to this brand.
