About what I'd expect from Edmunds. I't been pointed out to everyone that car isn't aimed at BMW, think E class and Lexus GS with more much room, and at a lower price point.
Car and Driver's take:
With the Lincoln name, you’d expect a smooth ride. Is it as calm and unperturbed as in an E-class Benz? Call it a tie, we’ve decided, until we can do a side-by-side matchup.
Is the cabin as quiet? The ears say yes.
Does interior quality match that of a Lexus GS? To our very great surprise and delight, it does. The textures and sheens of the dash top, windowsills, and door panels look Gucci rich. The Scottish leather of the seats has the essential drape and suppleness that lets it deform around your shape with no pressure spots. The mirror-finish jewelry is, of course, molded plastic, but the dies are excellent, holding surfaces that don’t waver when you shift your eye position. We scrutinized knobs and handles, particularly the interior door-release levers, for traces of mold-parting lines. Detroit has been failing this test for years, leaving sharp lines that your fingers feel and your mind interprets as Kmart quality. We found none. The MKS is tomorrow’s Lincoln, not yesterday’s.
