Datagen, congratulations for owning both an MKS and an MKZ. Have you ordered an MKT, yet? 
The 2010 MKZ is a pretty nice car. How would you compare it with your MKS in terms of ride, quietness, and overall refinement? Is your Z FWD or AWD?

My Z is AWD and it is much more responsive than the MKS. I had the Zephyr for a while and was able to compare the Z with it. I notice a more responsiveness even compared to its predecessor. The electronic toys are nice, but what really stunned me was the style of the interior. Just when I though my Zephyr had a beautiful interior, this new Z leaves it in the dust. The ambient lighting adds a nice touch to it as well. It seemed to me they took the 1950’s and made it look new again. Since it is a lighter vehicle than the MKS, it responsiveness is understandable. Even though it has the THX certified sound system as well, The MKS seems to blow by it with the extra speakers (tweeters) front and rear. The Z give me a more sports car feel where the MKS provides a more luxury ride. For some reason, I am not in tuned with the MKT yet.

"..penchant for kicking those that are down...."
No.
If anything we have a "penchant" for "rooting" for the underdog.

Well, I saw a new Taurus today with manufacturer plates (silver/chrome wheels) and then a few minutes later an MKS Ecoboost with the Appearance Package in black drove by. The car was very clean, it looked great.

My dealer is having their Taurus introduction "event" the last week of July. Not sure if they will have inventory to sell or just a couple of cars to show the public. They think my MKS might be in next week. I have my doubts about the delivery of mine so soon based on what I read in BON. I hope I am wrong. I wouldn't mind driving an SHO and an ecoboost MKS back to back before I take delivery, though.
All the press drove pre-production MKSs with the appearance package but that option will not be available until later. They should have had it ready for those who want ecoboost with a bit more difference from the base car. I didn't really want it but a lot of people seem to like the appearance package.

I would not expect there to be any damage at all with a one quart overfill. Added to that, you only drove it 200 miles that way, it's VERY unlikely that any consequences could be a result. I would drive with confidence.

I would recommend you examine both carefully and take extensive test drives in both. A dealer should have no problem with you taking either of these cars home overnight or maybe even a weekend. It is also important to decide exactly what your priorities are, what you like, and what you couldn't live with.
I have driven both and I am buying an MKS. However, your priorities may be totally different than mine. If you like sharp, sporty handling, tightly controlled ride, and good comfort in a smaller package, you will probably prefer the CTS. If you lean more toward quieter, softer luxury, and lots of room front and rear, you may prefer the MKS. They are vastly different cars and are both excellent at what they do. They just do different things well!
What is your current ride? What 3 things are most important to you in a car?

Brucelinc is correct. You can have a vehicle to test overnight, even weekend. I did it with my Zephyr, MKS, and MKZ. They will even deliver the car to your home once it arrives and is prep for you. He is also right about your own needs. If I recall correctly brucelinc was waiting for the ecoboost engine which I will be able to give you a direct report on at the end of the month. I will be test driving the new Taurus with the ecoboost and several other vehicles. So I plan on taking notes and letting all who are interested what I experienced. Brucelinc also hit on another point in the room area. If you plan on doing long distance traveling (300-800 miles), you may consider the MKS, City stuff the CTS can handle well. If you are looking at a sportier ride, then the CTS is your baby, but you may want to check out the New MKZ. It is very responsive and I suspect I should have a couple of speeding tickets by the end of August.
