MKZ Official: 2013 Lincoln MKZ

Agreed. This car isn't comfortable in its own skin. The Fusion looks more effortless, confident in its skin, and "right".

The Fusion looks more like a rip of 5 different cars. Aston should sue them on the front alone.

I agree, but I think it works mostly, in the sense that it doesn't look tooo forced (haven't seen it in person so will withhold final judgement).

It is a shame that car companies can't sue each other for blatant ripoff designs. The Aston front is a cheap shot, and will win over the sheeples who feel they can have (what really is a poor persons version of) an Aston look for the price of an Aston's wheel.

M-B would have owned Hyundai through how much they could have squeezed from them, if that was the case.

Horrendous. It doesn't match the front at all, and that lip is just getting uglier by the second. And what's up with that antenna..?

 

[K-A]

Whoa, didn't realize that either. AntennaFail.

f you're a fan of Lincoln, get ready for "a really great story" come May 1. That's how Ford marketing boss Jim Farley, in a call with analysts, characterized the coming April sales report for the MKZ. At the moment, there are probably few things that the executive VP could want more than a happy ending for the ballyhooed sedan that has made people cry boo-hoo for the past six months.

The massive glass roof of the MKZ is trying to support a burden that would make Atlas tap out, and it hasn't shattered, but it has shown a few cracks. The car we called "a big step in the right direction," the embodiment of the reinvention of the brand and a test of Lincoln's commitment to a new rear-wheel drive offering was given an $8-million dollar Super Bowl ad spend earlier this year, then quality control issues during its assembly scuttled deliveries. Lincoln got over that and kept up the ad blitz, now it just wants the good work to take hold.

If Farley's not leading us on, April could be the month. He said the results (so far) show "the product is being very well-received," inventory is finally where it should be and the MKZ Hybrid is doing better than expected. It bears noting that Lincoln is offering some aggressive incentive programs at the moment, including 0.9-percent APR and $1,000 off for conquest buyers stepping out of competitors' vehicles.

@HighestOfHigh - Rumour has it that a well known member of GCF from DC had ordered a MKZzee

I love Lincoln and I use to own a Towncar, but right now if I order anything it would be the S65 AMG w222. I still wish Lincoln much success, but right now I'm in love with the S-class.

They're selling, I'm seeing them more and more now. Its a distinctive looking car for sure, but it's still a nothing car as far as I'm concerned. Lincoln is just past its expiry date.

The Towncar rides on steel springs? Yet I have read that the ride is sublime, we do not get to come close to your cars, so how does it ride?

Edit: One old barge I respect is the Crown Vic. What a tank!

Oh my Towncar was totaled in a hit and run several years ago. This isn't actually mine, but this was how it looked.

Wasn't sporty like the Germans, but it served it's purpose well.

I think that looks really good. Clean, crisp and fresh. They really nailed the retro-modern balance with out going overboard like Cadillac.
