Lincoln Shows Its Interpretation of Modern American Luxury with MKS

MKS. The MKS will sit above the MKZ in Lincoln's family sedan lineup, and above all Lincolns when it comes to prestige, despite being physically smaller than the Town Car.

The MKS is a modern and handsome looking machine that, contrary to its all-American roots looks quite European. Ford's chief of design Peter Horbury has given the MKS and Lincoln a new face, and this is it – a divided grille with vertical slats with the brand's prominent “star” logo taking front and center stage. Many of the MKS' key styling traits, at least those up front were first seen at the Detroit auto show on the stunning MKR Coupe concept car. Its headlights, side profile and rear end design are very close to the original MKS Concept launched at last year's Detroit show.

The MKS' interior looks to be a big step forward over anything Lincoln has made with such high-end amenities as a leather-trimmed dashboard and

a sleek new look that's a big departure from the brand's previous '60s and '70s theme found on the MKZ, MKX and Navigator.

The MKS will share its underpinnings with the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable full-size sedans, which in turn were developed off the Volvo P2x platform that was used first in the previous generation Volvo S80. Ford has had much success with the Taurus and Sable with regards to safety, capturing multiple awards. In terms of suspension, the MKS features a completely new design which should provide a good blend of comfort and handling.
