Re: I sat in the Lincoln MKS yesterday

Well, seeing those pics, it almost makes me think of a Jaguar XF for the layperson. Sort of how the LS was to the Jaguar S Type in it's day.

Now obviously they are completely different platforms, but the sizes will be similar, as well as the slopy shapes. I have no doubt more than a few buyers will cross-shop these cars despite the driven wheel difference as well.

I give them props for really jazzing up that interior with MINIMAL use of the Ford parts bin and that cheap POS radio they stick in everything else. I also give them kudos for the full stitched leather dash components. Otherwise though, it is quite a snooze. On a more direct comparison, this thing is going to have a HARD time competing with the Hyundai Genesis, ESPECIALLY with its available V8.
