Lincoln MKZ 3.0 performance

[Brucelinc]

They hate the car but the numbers are pretty strong.  Better than a stock SHO or MKS ecoboost.

C&D was too hard on the car.  You either get the idea of a fast luxo boat or you don't.  No front drive platform with this weight will ever handle well or even have that great of a driving experience.  These cars are about comfort and spanking the occasional sports car in a straight line.

I can see me owning my MKS for a few years and then going back to a rear drive based car.  They just drive better.  That being said, I don't hold it against the MKS because it is what it is.
