2010 Lincoln MKZ

The 2010 Lincoln MKZ is the high-class relative to the Ford Fusion and the Mercury Milan. It offers you loads of luxurious toys, awesome power, superior handling - and a lot of potential to make anyone that you desire to take notice. Lexus RX350 shoppers take note: the Lincoln MKZ is about to be loosed on the world - and it wants you to take a good look at it.

It will grab your eyes with its split-wing grille and hold your attention with its sleek design standards. Once you enter the cockpit for the first time, you may well develop a new addiction. It presents a variety of well-thought pleasures for drivers and passengers alike. One particularly interesting feature is the rear view camera that displays its images on your rearview mirror - or your 8-inch navigational system's touch-controlled screen if you prefer.

Other goodies include the SYNC voice control system, fully-adaptive HID headlamps, an ear-piercing THX sound system, a way-cool radar-based blind spot alert system - and a lot more. Make your choice of available front wheel or all wheel drive setups. Either way, you get a SelectShift 6-speed auto transmission that Lincoln promises to be powerful, durable and optimally smooth. One note of interest is that the driver is able to upshift at will, but downshifts are prevented electronically in order to prevent the engine from sustaining the abuses of over-revving.

Speaking of the engine, it's a 3.5L 263hp 249 lb-ft DOHC 24-valve V6 that will shoot you forward like a bullet from zero to sixty in only 7.1 seconds. ZOOM! And, Ford engineers made it so you will reach those quick speeds in a smooth and quiet fashion. The 2010 MKZ will be heard a bit though. That's because of the beefed-up resonators included on the air induction system.

The MKZ Sport Package is available to offer you a firmer suspension system featuring stiffened coil springs and a bigger set of stabilizer bars. The Sport version also features a dark grille and headlights along with piping that stands in obvious contrast - and eighteen inch Euroflange alloy wheels. The interiors of all models utilize high-grade materials and are obviously crafted with great care. The Sport MKZ shows off a unique interior design from the non-Sport models though.

All versions of the Lincoln MKZ for 2010 have been made quieter, smoother, more balanced and more fuel efficient. Fuel economy ratings are reported at 24-28/17-18 mpg highway/city. CO2 emissions have been estimated at 0.9 to 0.99 lb/mile. All versions of the 2010 MKZ have smaller turning radii than do the 2009 models.

The 2010 Lincoln MKZ is one awesome vehicle in terms of safety as well. As you would expect from a Lincoln, there are loads of standard safety features in place to optimally protect you and your passengers at all times. Take it for granted that when the Lincoln Company releases any product, it is going to be superior to many of its competitors. There's just no doubt about it. MSRPs are reported to begin in the low $36,000 range. Be on the lookout in the spring of 2009 - the new MKZ is coming!

2010 Lincoln MKT

The brand new 2010 Lincoln MKT is a culmination of modern innovation and well-thought convenience. It truly presents a revolutionary compilation of unique features all meticulously crafted to epitomize your pampering. There are four trims to select from: the base 3.7L Lincoln MKT, 3.7L Lincoln MKT Elite, Lincoln MKT with EcoBoost and the Lincoln MKT with EcoBoost Elite. MSRPs for those trims respectively begin at $44,995, $49,995, $49,995 and $54,995.

The EcoBoost classification implies that the MKT is fitted with a fuel-saving 3.5L V6 engine that cranks out 355 horsepower at 5700 rpm. The standard 3.7L 24V Duratec V6 engine is slightly less efficient in terms of fuel economy, but still delivers an awesome amount of ready power. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed SelectShift transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The 2010 MKT is front-wheel driven.

Lincoln is synonymous with luxury and the MKT tops the line. One of the most noticeable features on the MKT is the huge Panoramic Vista roof. Everyone inside is treated to spacious views of the sky or city lights at all times. There is an optional power feature that allows the entire glass to be retracted as well. While the front seats come with standard heating and cooling, the rear seats are offered with these features optionally. The versatile seating configuration is also one-of-a-kind, offering the ability to fold down flat either one or both rear seating rows. Fold down the first rear seating row to maximize space for back passengers as they enjoy leather captain's chairs. Fold them all down to create a cavernous cargo area.

The available Active Park Assist feature uses ultrasonic radar sensors to automatically detect the amount of space available for parallel parking. With just a few button pushes, your 2010 MKT from Lincoln will easily park itself for you. The Intelligent All-Wheel Drive System automatically delivers more power to the wheels with the most traction whenever wheelslip is detected in adverse weather conditions. And the BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross Traffic Alert gives both visual and audio signals whenever there is a vehicle in your blind spot or whenever there are vehicles approaching in either lane as you are backing into traffic.

The Lincoln MKT for 2009 also treats you to the voice-activated Navigation System with SIRIUS Travel Link - a system that gets you where you're going with real-time traffic and weather updates. The screen is huge, full-colored and displays bird's-eye turn by turn voiced instructions to maximize the ease of your navigational needs. It also provides area-specific movie times, sports scores and more.

The list of standard features, safety and otherwise, is far too lengthy to list, but be assured that Lincoln has made it very impressive. The 2010 Lincoln MKT enters the new decade with a crossover vehicle that combines more than what seems possible. Every possibility for your traveling comfort and indulgence has been seamlessly incorporated. Pricing has been kept at a very respectable range and presents incredible value. Definitely allow yourself the privilege of experiencing the new MKT soon.
