If they do the EcoBoost V6 with AWD… That would be cool. I figure it’s just as boring for now - but what car in that class isn’t? Camry, Malibu, etc. ---

I kinda like it. And I agree, it would be nice to see another SHO, but Ford did a pretty good job of hacking it with the 3rd gen cars. ---

I’m sorry, mkz. shitty names (that’s why they can’t sell cars - too similar names MKS/MKZ/MKX). They need to go back to Continental/Town Car The MKS is based on the Five Hundred/Volvo S80? platform ---

its not the same as a 500, as far as i can tell it’s an entirely new car, it shares no other common ford suspenion parts. i think the AWD transfer case is the same in fords crossovers. the 3.7L v6 is a bored out 3.5L they put in the MKZ/MKX
