When you see a luxurious, high-performing sport sedan on the road you may think that it is a ‘gas-guzzler’ and the wealthy owner doesn’t care much of the environmental damage that it causes. If that luxury high-performing sport sedan is the new 2011 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost you’d be wrong because this car offers smooth performance from direct injected and turbocharged 3.5 liter V6 engine providing V8 power with V6 fuel economy and lower emissions. The 2011 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost flagship sedan evokes luxury from its exceptional quietness and comfort to its premium materials, class-exclusive features and confident high-performance driving demeanor.

“Tastefully blending luxury, performance, and advanced technology”
Lately Ford’s luxury division is not getting as much front-page exposure as the company’s latest redesigned vehicles. Nevertheless, Lincoln should in no way be overlooked. Ford ingenuity and survival skills have trickled down into vehicles such as the new Lincoln MKS luxury sports sedan.
The new 2011 Lincoln MKS is not just a redone or rebadged Taurus. It is much more and it is ready to battle with any car in its class. If the American car companies have learned anything over the past decade it is that the old rebadging notion will only result in possible bankruptcy. Fortunately for Ford they were able to keep things moving without the assistance from the government. The reasons why really show in not only the Ford lineup but also in the Lincoln division, especially when it comes to cars such as the new MKS.
Ford To End Production of Mercury Vehicles in Q4

Several of us knew this was coming. Mercury sales have been down for some time now only accounting for 0.8 percent of Ford Motor Company’s overall market share. Ford’s President of the Americas, Mark Fields, along with Derrick Kuzak, group vice president of production development, officially announced that the Mercury brand will be discontinued during the 4th quarter of this year.
This may be good news for Ford considering how well the brand has been doing lately. Ford was one of the Big3 that did not take any government bailout money to survive. Ford will now focus on their Lincoln brand and possibly introduce some more fresh new models in both the Lincoln and Ford lineup.

Lincoln refines its award-winning MKX Crossover for 2009 with more innovations including available voice-activated navigation with industry exclusive SIRIUS Travel Link, standard power liftgate, and important customer conveniences like a front passenger grab handle, cargo compartment hooks, cargo net and universal garage door opener.
The 2009 Lincoln MKX is strength and elegance perfectly blended in a refined yet dynamic design. The MKX’s confident exterior and luxurious, quiet interior underscore the direction of Lincoln’s modern design. The high beltline is defined by a stroke of chromed trim that caps broad shoulders, pronounced wheel lips and short overhangs that give the MKX its wide, athletic stance. Standard chrome door handles and chromed caps on each side-view mirror add a dramatic finishing touch. Black rocker panels plant the vehicle to the ground, accentuating the standard 18in. wheels and tires. You can choose 20in. chrome-clad aluminum wheels for an added touch of upscale flair. Side marker light cut into the simple, clean fascia and bend around to the side of the vehicle. Chrome-ringed fog lamps are integrated into the lower fascia and echo the chrome-lipped dual exhausts. Distinctive lighting is a hallmark of modern Lincoln design, offering the perfect balance of art and functionality. An available adaptive front lighting system consists of motor-driven halogen low beams based on steering wheel input that swivel around curves. When cornering, the headlamps can illuminate a stretch of road up to 36 feet longer than conventional headlights.
