Why is Lincoln using PLASTIC HUBCAPS on a $41K Hybrid car??????? This is deceit, fraud andI feel totally cheated! In this time and age it's not what I expect from a "Luxury" carmaker... Plastic Hubcaps...Really??! I will consider suing Ford for fraud!

They're doing this because people want the chrome wheel 'look', and chrome over aluminum tends to peel and flake after a while, causing air leaks. The 'hubcaps' conceal a regular alloy wheel. You can get straight alloy wheels if you want.

My girlfriend is looking into leasing a 2011-2012 MKZ Hybrid. With the 2013 MKZ about to come out, what is the best rates that people have experienced? Do they even have lease deals on the 2011? The dealer told us that Leases only started on 2012 models.

I don't know about lease rates, but is there no way she can wait for the 2013? It'll be quite an improvement, I understand. But I like my 2011...

Thank you. She has a lease that expires at the end of May, which is the issue.

I agree the plastic wheels are disappointing. Also, unsure but my 2012 MKZ Hybrid does not track well on open highways. I have to constantly keep hands on wheel and steer the MKZ Hybrid to keep in center of hyway. In other words, wheels slightly verring right or left the MKZ heads in that direction. Also, steering seems very stiff as well as the ride feeling very stiff and jolting. The MKZ Hybrid is one month old maybe needs a greater break in period.
Comments welcomed

Mine has no problem on the freeway, I'd make sure the tires are correctly inflated (buy a high quality gauge and check first thing in the morning). If they are, I'd have the dealer check all four wheels for alignment. As to the ride, it is firmer than some, that's not a problem for me.

#19 of 19 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid - Where Is It? by red0624

Hi - I ordered mine in Sept. Have been continually stonewalled about realistic delivery date since. Customer care seems to be "care-less" and it's hard to become a customer if they don't deliver. What's the hold up?
