Yeah MKS!!!

we just traded in a 750 li bmw which is an amazing car to drive, but we needed more room. We bought a flex with ecoboost. Driving through the hills and in traffic even with the cruise on is very impressive.  The rolling hills going to our home dont even make the flex down shift which almost all other cars we have owned did. Acceleration in traffic on flat ground is very impressive. Car drives and handles better than the X5 bmw we used to own as well.

The mark 7 ( i have one ) were terrific cars, as well as the innovative mark 8.
these cars had air suspen, abs and FI , composite lights, when most average cars had rear drum brakes no abs, carbs etc. look at the sales #'s. then linoln shot itself in the foot w/ the ls in 2000. good underpinnings but a bore to look at.
the mks too small- insuff power-boring looks( a mazda 6 better buy ) now w/ the LS-- maybe lincoln can come back. People who but lux/sport cars want v8 power. I think mks should offer as option, the 5.4 navigator engine w/cylinder managment for v-6 mileage at crusing. twin turbo engines are a maintenance nightmare.

Anyone who thinks this was a level test should be slapped with vacuum line... Multiple car manufacturers have run tests to show how altitude affects performance. There was a test a while back where a basically stock A4 2.0T was ran against an S4 at about the same elevation. Dyno proven at sea level the A4 was down 100hp to the S4. They took them up to high elevation, and the A4 was just as quick as the S4 at that altitude. This isn't even a comparison, its a commercial. A this statement comes from a Ford owner...

racinghcr:  Both Porsche and BMW have been running circles around their competitors w/ 6 cylinder cars from the beginning.  Put an equally-priced 335i v. the Lincoln and the Lincoln loses, regardless of format.  Ford is doing good things, no doubt about it.  But it's comical when American mfrs claim they can compete against the world--only on their own terms.  Look at what Buell has done in motorcycle racing.
