Just as the 2010 Ford Fusion received a hefty overhaul , so did its platform mate, the Lincoln MKZ. However, the Lincoln’s biggest news is the new grille and front bumper, with inspiration from the larger MKS and the new MKT crossover. The 263-hp 3.5-litre V6 uses a six-speed automatic transmission to send power to either the front or all four wheels. It also gets the company’s Easy Fuel capless system. Inside, the MKZ is handsome, with polished wood, standard leather seats and more. SYNC system worth the money.
