2011 MKS Facelift

[captainalias]

Ford previously announced that they would stick to refreshes every 3 years.

Well, here's a spy shot of the 2011 MKS- the grille looks more BMW like. You can just make it out under the camo wrap.

Im just waiting for the next Mark to come out. With Caddy coming out with a two door CTS Im sure Lincoln will come out with a two door car. Lets hope it gets the Mark name!

yes it does look like a bmw grill. most likely with the insignia in between the 2 pieces.imo it would have looked much better as a 1 peice grill with sig centered. debating on purchasing a MKS or a CTS. unsure thats why I joined.

how about a SuperMark name with a twin turbo V8 weighing around 3000-3300lbs, pushing 500+hp and can stack up to a M5 or Lexus GS-F, or E55

That would be nice. The problem is that it would probably be wrong-wheel-drive and based on the MKZ. It wouldn't even come close to being able to compete with the Caddy. No, Lincoln is better off staying out of the 2-door luxury/performance coupe playground until they learn how to make good, RWD, V-8 powered luxury cars again. And for the love of all things holy, please don't slap the venerable "Mark" logo on some cheesy little wrong-wheel-drive joke on wheels.

I hate to say this, being a Lincoln fan and all, but given the choice, I'd get the CTS. No questions asked. There's no comparison. The CTS is RWD, has better proportions, and is just a seriously tough looking car. The MKS has wierd FWD proportions, strange dash-to-axle ratio, wheels too close to the center of the body, too much front overhang, and it's too tall and stubby looking for my taste. But I'd just buy the CTS based on the REAR-WHEEL-DRIVE baby!!! (that is, if I could afford it)
