Talk:Lincoln MKS

message: The MKS is at present a concept car "strongly hinting at" a future full size luxury flagship sedan, according to Ford Motor Company.  It is premature to speculate at this point whether it is a replacement for the LS in 2008, and any hypothetical "inside information" to the contrary would likely be a Company Secret, and not proper for disclosure on Wikipedia.  If some eager editors insist on releasing hypothetical secrets here, then the article may be summarily deleted due to violation of confidentiality.
Here is Ford's position (source: Ford Employee Network News)...
The 2007 Lincoln MKX (pronounced "Mark X") crossover utility vehicle (CUV) and the Lincoln MKS ("Mark S") concept sedan were both introduced Monday during Lincoln Mercury's media event at the 2006 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit.
How they, and the recently launched 2006 Lincoln Zephyr entry-level sedan, are received is how Lincoln will be judged in its efforts to lure a new generation of luxury buyers to the brand.
"Strongly hinting" at the design direction Lincoln will take with its future flagship sedan is the MKS concept. 
With an exterior that includes Lincoln's trademark waterfall grille and 20-inch tires, the largest ever on a Lincoln sedan, the MKS combines a new all-aluminum 4.4-liter V-8 engine (315 horsepower) with a six-speed transmission. 
"It's a concert of robust and confident acceleration, very good fuel efficiency and low emissions," said (Peter) Horbury (executive director, North American Design).
Inside, MKS features heated and cooled seats with 14-way power adjustments, the panoramic Vista Roofä and a variety of entertainment and convenience features including an advanced navigation system, Bluetoothä and DVD-audio surround sound. 
"This type of innovative and intuitive technology will be the hallmark of Lincolns going forward," said Horbury. 
Along with an array of safety features, the Lincoln MKS is also equipped with a steering column that tailors its rate of collapse to a driver's size and safety-belt use in the event of a serious collision. 
"Lincoln has historically excelled at full-size luxury sedans, it's been our hallmark" said Darryl Hazel, vice president, Marketing. "With the Lincoln MKS we're reaffirming what we stand for and signaling our intent to introduce a new full-size performance luxury sedan in the very near future." 
"Luxury customers have very high expectations for vehicle design, performance, comfort and service," said (Anne) Stevens (Group Vice President - The Americas). "Innovation is something they expect and demand. And they will buy brands that deliver it. Lincoln is becoming their luxury brand." — Preceding unsigned comment added by T-dot (talk • contribs) 23:40, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

message: The MKS has been revealed at the LA Auto Show, and press release and review material is available online     .  The article needs to be updated significantly as most of the current information (as of noon 11/14/07) is based on information about the concept car from 2006, and more recently some speculation and unofficial leaks.  The image for example is 2 years out of date.  Looking for assistance if anyone has some time...  --T-dot ( Talk/contribs ) 16:57, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

message: While it is known what the "X" (crossover) and "T" (touring) stood for in the MK nomenclature, it is a bit less open on what the "S" stood for in MKS.  For the purposes of adding it to the article, is there anything out there that has this information?  A little obscure, perhaps, but it would be interesting to find though.  --SteveCof00 (talk) 19:44, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
