Wow Great Job Lincoln!!

Competes with: Lexus ES 350, Acura TL, Cadillac CTS
Looks like: An elegant front end pasted onto a generic sedan body
Drivetrain: 270-hp, 3.7-liter V-6 with six-speed automatic transmission
Hits dealerships: Summer 2008
To say the MKS is an important model for Lincoln is just scratching the surface. The brand has been looking for a hit to stand apart from corporate siblings Ford and Mercury, and an upscale sedan is something it can hold up as its own.

The MKS delivers some remarkable styling in what will be a sub-$38,000 sedan package. Powering the sedan is a 3.7-liter V-6 engine similar to the one used in the Lincoln MKX SUV. Lincoln promises that a more powerful turbo six-cylinder will be added to the lineup later in the year. No price was given for that model.

There are a number of luxury features Lincoln is putting into the MKS. We haven’t gotten a breakdown of which are standard and which are pricier options, but we know the MKS will have the new Sync hands-free system, voice-activated navigation, a cap-less fuel-filling system, rain-sensing wipers, keyless entry … and, strangely enough, a new version of the old-school keypad on the door.

All that won’t matter if the looks don’t win folks over. The MKS is certainly more interesting than anything Lincoln has turned out of late, even the MKX. We’ll let the photos below do some of the talking and hope to learn more later in the day.

Agreed, It's saab-ish on crack, but interior is what really makes it special, I couldn't post pics off cars.com because they use Flash and I can't save pics

Yes, the grill sucks but it looks better than the ES350 at least.
