Spy Shots: 2009 Lincoln MKS Spotted Filming Again

Quote:

click above image to view more new pics of the 2009 Lincoln MKS

The 2009 Lincoln MKS will make its official debut at the LA Auto Show in mid-November, but this luxury sedan-turned-Hollywood actor has already been spotted on the set of the new Batman movie in Chicago once before. A sharp-eyed reader, however, has caught the car in the middle of filming again, whether for the movie or for a commercial we don't know, and has...

Personally I think Lincoln has a great car on their hands with this one just from what the pictures are showing.

These pictures definitely look extremely good.

The MKS doesn't seem to have that jacked up on stilts stance that plagues the Taurus. I really feel that this car, especially coupled with the TwinForce, will complete Lincoln's lineup that has been lacking for years. Although it is not a BMW competitor, it still has solid cars with good reliability and luxury. Auto journalists may not share my sentiment, but it only matters what the customers want. Unique styling, solid quality and good pricing will hopefully launch Lincoln into an era of sustainability.

Ya me to! And from what I've seen from the pictures it has the style to win people over! Cant wait to see the interior! And again I pray Ford makes this thing RWD (even though i know they wont).

looks like Lincoln is getting closer to competing with the likes of Cadillac!

It blows the DTS out of the water and make the STS look a little stale.....

MKS is a lot bigger than the CTS.

Re: Spy Shots: 2009 Lincoln MKS Spotted Filming Again

WOW now that is a Lincoln! I like it all around and it sits so nice on those hot rims. Is Lincoln back in the game? Looks like it as long and Ford does not give a 80's block interior.

Re: Spy Shots: 2009 Lincoln MKS Spotted Filming Again

It's OK. I see nothing particularly "Lincoln" about it. It's a pastiche of mostly Asian design themes that have been around for a while now. Handsome enough, but nothing new. It has a great interior, though.

Re: Spy Shots: 2009 Lincoln MKS Spotted Filming Again

After reading some of the comments about the photo all I can say is that theres hope for Ford and GM if they keep building cars like this and the CTS

Quote:
I'm the guy who took the shots and I gotta tell you this car looked damn good. I drive a TSX and I'm going to have to shop the MKS when my lease is up. I can't imagine buying a Lincoln but the car looked that good. It's very well proportioned and nicely sculpted. It looks tough in the front, very clean on the sides, and like a Maserati in the rear. Good job Lincoln!

Went to look at a CTS a few days ago... never really a big fan of Caddy but the CTS impressed. The interior of the CTS was AMAZING!!
