I am seeing lots of MKZ's in the DC area these days. Not the 2010 but the prior years. I even saw a newly sold 2006 Zephr in Black and it really looked sharp.

If you take the time to notice them. If you don't know what one is, and have no particular interest in Lincolns, it really blends in with the crowd. From a distance, it looks like a Fusion with a funny grill.

2011 MKZ?

Do any of you "insiders" know of plans for the 2011 MKZ? My plan was to get a 2010 something or other. After recently checking out all the prospects in this segment, I've eliminated the 2010 MKZ. IMO it's overpriced and doesn't measure up to the competition. I'm most interested in the ES and CTS, however, if the MKZ is having a major revison next year I might wait.
By the way, the 2010 MKZ has been out late April/early May and I have seen only one on the road. I didn't think it would sell well but, can sales be this bad? It's not like I'm out in the country somewhere either. I'm right in the middle of the Baltimore-Washington megalopolis. Just wondering if the poor sales might speed up a complete redo.

I don't think the value on the 2011 will be any better and I don't expect major changes until the new platform is ready in 2012 or 2013. I do expect it to get the 3.7L engine and some new tech toys and possibly a new grille but that's about it.

Does MKZ has keyless start push button? If not - does it use that little crappy Ford Fusion key made from cheap plastic with confusing buttons?

what kind of key would you want it to be like? a replacement key is about $40.

All luxury cars and some non-luxury too, like Nissan, have keyless entry and start fobs.I.e. no mechanical key. At least as the option. I have nothing against physical keys, but it is now expected part of luxury experience, as well as dedicated well appointed dealerships with well trained personnel and free loaner cars.

Maybe, but it is a gimmick. I have keyless go on my Suzuki SX4...hardly anywhere in the same universe as a luxury car. It is nice to have the key in my pocket and not have to insert it to open doors, start the car, open the hatch, etc., but the fob is still made of plastic (no matter how expensive your car), it contains a key you can remove to use in case for some reason the keyless go fails, and replacement if you lose it is several more times expensive. So I wouldn't write off a car if this wasn't on it, but that is just me. I do write off the MKZ for myself, because it isn't enough different from a loaded Fusion Sport to justify the price difference. However, given the poor sales of Lincolns (the Ford brand is responsible for FoMoCo's success lately), the real price difference is not all that much different. If you like the MKZ, go for it.
