Lincoln MKS concept Auto Show Photo

This MKS (which Lincoln officials pronounce Mark-ess) concept indicates the direction Lincoln is heading with its next full-size sedan. Power comes from a 315-horsepower V-8 driving all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. According to company spokesperson Ann Stevens, it celebrates the American dream, but not in an ostentatious way. Subdued sybarytic pleasures include a suede-covered dash, a panoramic glass roof (just like in the mid-fifties Mercury Sun Valley), a 14-speaker BlueTooth stereo system, and heated and cooled seats. The styling breaks no new ground. The front is dominated by a traditional Lincoln waterfall grille, the flanks are sculpted like a BMW's, the rear borrows heavily from the VW Passat, and the roofline recalls the Lexus GS. Handsome cars, all, and the Lincoln MKS concept looks elegant, but it won't make the same impression as Cadillac's bold look.
