is that a lincoln badge on the steering wheel?

does that mean the interior seems more upscale because it is for the lincoln version and the ford version will be more watered down?

I'm not sure, but I think there already is a Lincoln version in the new MKS.

Holy crap,,, just took a side by side look. Interior looks better appointed than the current Lincoln MKS. You can see from the pics alot of the influence going into the car.

MKS Interior,,,

Ford is coming back, I invest a little more into them weekly and I am happy with my descison. The new fusion looks great, now this blows the avalon/camry away (maybe even the es350). Ford has its ***** back and making quality nice cars. BTW can't wait for the fiesta.

Look a little like a Honda Accord on that front grille.

Look far better than previous Taurus's. At least Ford is trying.

exterior is bland.

interior looks nice, at first glance. but we know the material quality will be super cheap.

i like the waveform center stack.

I saw that exact car on the road last week, i didn't have my camera with me. I couldn't keep up with it because of traffic, it pulled into ford building before i got to it. I'm liking the interior a lot more than any other Ford.

Looks good. With the guys hand on the shifter I thought it was MT for a minute. Wishful thinking on my part.
