Replying to: toomanyfumes (May 01, 2009 6:00 pm) One other thing I noted yesterday when I drove a couple of MKSs: One of them had 2800 miles on it. It was so much quicker than the other one with 20 miles on the odometer that it felt like it had 50 more HP. It even sounded better under hard acceleration. The base 3.7 is really no slouch when broken in. I think it would run head to head with the base Cadillac DTS with the 275 HP Northstar V8 - maybe even beat it. |

Replying to: brucelinc (May 14, 2009 12:13 pm) Base FWD 3.7L V6 Auto 19 mpg $40,870 Base AWD 3.7L V6 Auto 19 mpg $42,760 EcoBoost AWD 3.5L V6 T Auto N/A $47,760 So if you load it up with all the goodies, You will be looking at between 50-58. Yeah I will have to think about that. I wonder for $5000 bucks can the ecoboost pay for itself in 2 years like they advertised last year. I tell you the 3.7 is good enough for me. I am sure in time it will get me a few tickets to put on the wall.

Quite a few test drives of the MKS with Ecoboost came out today. Here's one from autoblog: http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/15/first-drive-2010-lincoln-mkt-ecoboost-and-mks- -ecoboost/

Replying to: cowbell (May 15, 2009 8:50 am) I really hope though that the appearance package is not going to show up like 3-4 months after the first arriving units. Seriously it is rather annoying when a company reveals a vehicle in press photos, auto shows, and now lending out to automotive reviewers...showing equipment on a car that's not going to be available from the SOP. |

Replying to: akirby (May 15, 2009 5:28 am) There is an optional ecoboost appearance package that is another $2000. It is a late availability item - side skirts, spoiler, metal interior trim and other juvenile nonsense that make the car look like something it isn't. |

Replying to: cowbell (May 15, 2009 8:50 am) I wanted a relatively high tech mid luxury car that would go when you put your foot down. I did NOT want a sports sedan with a stiff suspension or silly body kits. So far, I am tickled to death with the prospects of an ecoboost MKS filling the bill. There will be some who will expect the MKS to be more sporty or more of a handler. Lincoln probably should offer the SHO suspension tuning as an option on the MKS. I wouldn't want it but it would be more in line with what the enthusiast press is looking for. |
