2013 Lincoln MKZ


My wife just looked at the car and said she loved it, so go figure! May be its a chick's car!
 
Have to get one.
Tomorrow the wife gets her new Platinum F150 and said go to the DAS and order one of these for yourself....
Man I love that girl!
 
I really like the front view.. :thumbsup
 
They should do a EcoBoost version with a 5.0 Coyote.

"Son your gonna drive me to drinkin if you don't stop driven that HOD ROD LINCOLN" :driving::biggrin
 
The 5.0 is not an Ecoboost engine, nor are there any v8 ecoboost engines in development. The largest currently in the works is a 3.7 upgrade of the current 3.5.

Making the 3.5/3.7 EB available in that car would be quite quick. Not currently planned though.

Even if a Eco 5.0 could be made to 'fit', there isn't any drivetrain (currently) that can manage that kind of power. Even the currrent (3.7L) SHO is limited in HP due to drivetrain. Lots of untapped potential in that engine alone.
 
I think the front is a swing and a miss. Don't care for the front grill. Rest of the car looks pretty good. The current model grills and styling are double ugly in my opinion. You can spot them a half mile away, but you probably could say the same for the Edsel grill as well. I hope they can come up with something a bit better looking for the front. Still a huge Ford fan and stockholder, but Ford really needs a winner to save Lincoln.
 
I will be first in line to buy a 2015 GT500 ecoboost 5.0. Please build it.
 
Production interior is very nice.

Ditto on production rear exterior. Exhaust tips and lower valence are very cool.

I remain ambivalent towards the front end:

Considering that it was a very, very late redesign that had major limitations, I'd say as a first shot this bodes very well for Max Wolff's time ahead at Lincoln.
 
needs magna ride and 650hp... then I'd be all over that badboy.
