This years LA Auto show Lincoln availed it's MKS concept car,Inside line was there to cover it and this was their thoughts to date.
The car as a whole is more convincing as a luxury-brand ride than the Mazda6/Ford Fusion-based MKZ that preceded it. Like the smaller MKZ, the MKS is derived from proletarian hardware. In the case of the MKS, it's the Taurus that donates its innards. This so-called D-platform makes the MKS one of the few front-drivers in its class. We're not entirely sure what the MKS's class is anyway, although Horbury says that the car is designed to compete with the Cadillac CTS and not the European and Japanese. But like the Acura RL and Lexus ES 350, the MKS offers neither a V8 nor rear-wheel drive.
Lincoln seems to have nailed a lot of the basics such as esthetics and content, But they will have to cover a lot of ground in the areas of quality and drive line feel and static quality, otherwise this car will resemble an updated version of the Lincoln continental..and will be received as just that.
