Lincoln MKZ

i think the ass of the zephyr looks sweet with a small spoiler.

and the engine and made it AWD

in a way yes. But the car has been refined a lot. when they made the fusion the stretched the chassie a few inches as well as stiffened it a bit for better handling. they also added a lot of sound insulation. the build quality is also better on the ford, lincoln, and mercury’s soposedly. so basicly a reworked one yeah.

dont mind the chrome grill so much as the chrome mirrors. They look like ass after a week. But the AWD is good stuff

some new info http://autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061030/FREE/61030002/1024/TOC01ARCHIVE

“Lincoln had planned to offer the MKS with a Yamaha-engineered 4.4-liter V-8, a version of the Yamaha engine used in the Volvo XC90 crossover. That plan was canceled this past summer, although Ford is said to be developing a V-8 for the MKS and other vehicles.”

that 4.4 would have been a nice option
oh well

Not too bad, I like it minus the grill.

^not too bad either, 3.7 V6 and possibly a v8

yoru saying the name zypher sucked???
:bloated:

the name has so much heratige, tis one of the first cars to be extensively customized, and the most famous is Scrapes

Zephyr is a neat name, but more befitting of a car to compete with the XLR/SL/SC/XK/etc. Or a Lincoln flagship if it must be a sedan.

Hmmmmm…XK rebodied and tweaked to be a Zephyr…idea. Better idea–put in the Volvo I6 and make a cheaper XK/Zephyr. Hm. But it’s transverse mount and would take too much work. :frowning:

I keep thinking about the contour guys. the engine has the same overall dementions as the 3.0 and 2.5 tech so it MIGHT swap into the contour with some work. and beyond that if the 3.5 is being modified to be a 3.7 then those internals should swap into the fusion, mazda 6, 500, and edge.

I love Lincoln :tup: I’m honestly supprised to hear anything good about them from people here though lol

Meh…I just don’t like the sound of it. I don’t know what a Zypher is but it sounds like some kind of large land mammal.

^
no, it sounds like a fat chic, and i dont believe they are mammals. i’ve heard they have “gills” that can pull the oxygen out of crisco.

I want to know what ever happened to the mark IX :frowning:

or the mark VIII vert… or the supermark

blah

actually its the god of wind
