Full 2008 Lincoln MKZ Review
What's New for 2008
Heated and cooled front seats and satellite radio become standard on the 2008 Lincoln MKZ. The innovative "Sync" hands-free communication and entertainment interface, developed in a partnership between Ford and Microsoft, becomes standard equipment later in the year. The optional navigation system is now voice activated, and buyers can now opt for reverse parking sensors.
Introduction
Deciphering the names of Lincolns nowadays is starting to be like cracking Soviet spy code. The 2008 MKZ is joined by the MKX and soon by the MKS, plus there's inexplicably the Mark LT. Unlike the LT and eight previous Lincoln Marks, using quasi-acronyms is apparently way cooler and more likely to attract a younger group of buyers -- younger as in south of 65. The logic behind that, though, is like handing Ed McMahon a skateboard and expecting him to host the X Games. While the MKZ is certainly more lively than the geriatric Town Car, it has a long way to go before it can be considered a realistic competitor for other entry-level luxury sedans.
