Four doors, top of the heap, cream of the crop

2009 Lincoln MKS

Lincoln’s all new flagship sedan is designed to win new buyers over to the Lincoln brand who previously bought Lexus, Acura and Cadillac vehicles. When it appears on dealer lots it will be with a 3.7-liter V-6, the V-8 will not be available until nearly a year after launch. But it will be the first vehicle to receive Ford’s new gasoline turbocharged, direct injection technology. Preliminary numbers for the V-6 are 270 hp at 6,250 rpm and 265 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,250 rpm.
