Re: 2010 LIncoln MKZ dealer experience [mountan09]
I am curious which you ended up with. I am trying to decide between a 2011 TL or a 2010 MKZ. I have been driving Lincoln LS's for the last 10 years, so I now what features I get from Lincoln that are in excess of what Acura base cars provide. My concern is the residual value. Looks like the Acura beats the MKZ by about $1500. My concern is the ... Read More

Re: OEM Tires [gregg_vw]
I chose my Zephyr over the Lexus ES for because I could get it w/o a moonroof (I'm 6'3"), it ran on regular gas and it offered great value. It's no longer the value it was and Lexus is retuning their product line to run on regular (the 2011 ES drops 4-6 HP but, recommends regular fuel). The gas thing was one advantage the MKZ had over it's competition but, now ... Read More

Re: OEM Tires [akirby]
It is not that easy, Allen. Ford knows more or less what the Ford brand is about, and has learned some hard lessons. The Five Hundred's styling was a really awful idea, and transforming it into the 08 Taurus just wasted more limited funds. Thankfully, they got right to work on the 2010 Taurus. They also screwed up with the Flex, in that they took the Fairlane concept that in production ... Read More

Re: OEM Tires [akirby]
Let's agree to disagree. Anyway, it keeps the board lively. A more important topic - does anyone have sales figures for 2010 Lincoln? A few weeks back when Ford announced pulling the plug on Mercury, I read in the USA today that through June, Mercury had only sold 82,000 units. And I'm quoting here, "But Mercury is still outselling the struggling Lincoln brand." OMG! How bad is it? Lincoln is a ... Read More

Re: 2010 Lincoln MKS AWD Lease Rates
Hi kam41765. Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2010 Limcoln MKZ AWD with 18,000 miles per year are 0.25% and 54%, respectively. This car's 36 month numbers are 2.5% and 46%. Its 39 month numbers are 2.75% and 44%. I believe that 18,000 miles per year is the highest mileage allowance that Ford Credit publishes residual values for. If you need ... Read More

Re: Test drive [gregg_vw]
Lincoln's bread and butter volume car is MKZ. And it is really funny how Ford does not care about MKZ. There are no LM dealerships left in SF bay area. And most of Ford dealerships have only couple of MKZ, what kind of volume car it is if there is no cars in dealership. San Leandro Ford has only one MKZ, Fremont Ford has three and two of them sit there ... Read More

Re: Test drive [gregg_vw]
Cadillac's success in November was with the SRX which accounted for over a third of their sales. Their passenger car sales were down.

The Fusion and Fusion Hybrid are excellent cars and are doing well. They have had excellent press, too. Focus and Escape ... Read More

Re: Test drive [savetheland]
I don't know, but I doubt that the Milan is going away any time soon. The MKZ seems more likely to either fade away, or evolve into something relevant.

Re: Does MKZ has start push button? [gregg_vw]
Couldn't agree with you more concerning Lincoln (especially the MKZ). I own a Zephyr and I am quite happy with it's durability. I am very disappointed, however, in the 2010 MKZ. I'm sure it's also very durable (Ford is making some pretty reliable cars). Unfortunately, the styling of the 2010 is very forgettable, the interior is sub par for that price group and the car is overpriced. Ford is just not ... Read More

Re: Does MKZ has start push button? [savetheland]
All GM core brands were up in sales Nov to Nov. Lincoln continues to be down, and that is very bad, considering how bad Nov 2008 sales were.

The popularity of the new Cadillac SRX, along with the CTS wagon and the stunning CTS coupe will not help Lincoln (for those who are looking ... Read More

Re: MKZ over 535xi [akirby]
"Any extra plant capacity not used by the MKZ can be filled with Fusions and Milans which are selling quite well." I have a great idea. Let's stop making the MKZ altogether. That way ALL capacity can be devoted to the Fusion and Milan. You seem to be fixated on the idea that Ford isn't interested in selling any MKZs. Perhaps you are correct but, I think Ford better be interested ... Read More

Re: MKZ over 535xi [gregg_vw]
I have no idea what will happen to Lincoln (or Mercury but, that 's for another day) over the next few years. One thing is for sure. To once again become relevant, they have to start selling cars in significant numbers. Right now, this just isn't happening. The MKS has been out for some time now and I've seen two. The MKZ has been out for 4 months and I have ... Read More

Re: In Person Analysis of 2010 [displacedtexan]
I had the same issue with the Edge and MKX. I've owned a LS and an Aviator and generally prefer the Lincoln versions. But after looking at the MKX I concluded the only difference that mattered to us were the cooled seats and that wasn't worth the $6K price difference. I actually preferred the Edge dash over the MKX. Given the 2010 MKZ was just a mid cycle refresh, I think ... Read More

Re: In Person Analysis of 2010 [tiger16]

I believe akirby has said the Z offers more ... Read More

Re: In Person Analysis of 2010 [tiger16]
IMO, the new grill and tail lights are an improvement. The old grill was too pedestrian, too anonymous. The new tail lights are more like the Lincoln signature, going almost (but not quite...don't know why they didn't extend them all the way) across the back. Your complaint about the interior is mostly about color. Some people prefer black interiors, but I don't like them either. Too much black, but to each ... Read More

Re: 2010 Test drive [akirby]
I agree rebates will be needed to sell this car. The local Lincoln dealer has been moving the current generation well over a year by advertising it at $26K.

That being said, the MKZ in a sub $30K territory will be very attractive against the family sedan competition and should have really its eyes set on ... Read More

Remember that the 2010 Fulan is significantly quieter than it was (adopting much of the 07-09 MKZ noise suppression). LIncoln did make the 10 MKZ quieter than the 09 though. The 2010 3.0 liter is much improved over the 09, and the hp gap between that and the 3.5 is now far less. Plus, the same 3.5 is now available in the Fusion. None of the engines sound refined under hard ... Read More

Re: 2010 MKZ test drive [akirby]
Lincoln has improved the MKZ quite a bit since Zephyr days. However, the MKZ drives like a Fusion Sport--without so much sport. Behind the wheel, it does not feel significantly diffferent from other reasonably equipped, non-luxury mid-sizers like the Fusion and Malibu. For the kind of coin they charge, the "feel" from behind the wheel should distinguish this model more. I'm afraid that until Lincoln has the resources and time to ... Read More

Re: MT First drive of the 2010 Lincoln MKZ [theman123]

It's too bad Ford doesn't have the resources right now to make an MKZ hybrid, by either adding some hp to the Fusion 4 cylinder setup or hybridizing the 3 liter.

The MKS and MKZ are decent efforts, but so are most of the competitive models out there. ... Read More

Lincoln needs to equip the 2010 MKZ with a 3.7 that produces 300-315 hp in order to be competitve with other cars in its segment. This along with a hybrid option in the future should give it even more first time, conquest and reapeat buyers

The 2009 goes into production next month for a 6 month run. The 2010 models get the refresh and will be on sale in January 2009.
