Lincoln News: Lincoln Sets A Goal Of 18% Increase In Sales
2b2 replied to William Maley's topic in Lincoln
I'm trying my best to believe that the "large" sedan Mr. Mulally recently mentioned is the MKS's bigbrother (E386) to replace the MKT!!... ...imho eventually the MKS will be replaced with a new RWD Continental -
just imho we won't find out for at least a year

Lincoln News: Lincoln To Focus On High Volume Segments

^ I really disliked the new Z until I saw an early video - either on a turntable or the camera orbiting around the car THEN it made sense tho I'm still withholding judgement until I see it in person & Kudos on keeping an open mind, ocnblu- 25 replies

^ oops, sorry, I didn't double check on the Z as for Smoked Quartz, I think it's one of those new paints that change greatly with its surrounds but basically a rich gray here's a recent video favorite frame:- 25 replies

for some reason can't edit ^ so I'm ashamed I forgot there IS a unique color for each the MKZ & Fusion MKZ gets the lovely Smoked Quartz while the Fusion gets Ice Storm (tho only on the Hybrid)-(which may or may not be the same as their old Ice Blue Metallic)- 25 replies

as I've gone from forum to forum on this subject I'm becoming actually AGAINST marketing Lincoln performance. (possibly except for a subtly different badge: based on the original Continental MkII) Fomoco needs to develop a comprehensive program/philosophy for it, but imho it'd be better to not make a big a deal about one trim and adopt more of a Rolls Royce attitude of, "We have more than adequate performance for you - at whatever level you prefer"... ...whether that's Light/efficient/green or enthusiast driving 'con brio' and everything in between. for enthusiasts: a nextgen MKS (AWD) with a 400hp 3.5EB or a nextgen MKS (AWD) with a 400hp 5.0v8 (LINK) OR a nextgen MKZ (AWD) with the 400hp 3.5EB or a nextgen MKZ (AWD) with a (upto) 350hp 2.7EB OR an AWD Focus/GCMax-based "MKE" with the (upto) 350hp 2.7EB OR a RWD Lincoln "Zodiac" (LincStang) with one of the above engines or a RWD Lincoln "Zodiac" with a 600hp 5.0EB OR a RWD Lincoln Continental (GRwdP) with any of the above engines
