Len_A Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) Take a look at a blown-up view of the third picture, the one where you can see the driver's hand on the shifter. Notice there is a leather boot around the shift arm. While that's a HUGE step up in quality over other Ford interiors, typically you use a leather boot when you need front-back AND left-right movement. Look at the width of the opening on the shift gate, the opening that leather boot is covering. While it is clearly not square enough of an opening to be a manual transmission, it is way wider than it needs to be for a regular automatic floor-mounted shifter. Finally, look at the bottom of the shift gate, on the left. Does the bottom of this shift gate have notches on the left and right? Is is possible that this is a tap-shift or manumatic automatic? Probably the same that's available in the MKS - what the Lincoln website calls a select shift six speed. I'm expecting a lot of the same options as the MKS except for the front park assist and the Sony sound system instead of the THX II. Ecoboost (probably called Twin Force on the Lincolns) will undoubtedly be AWD only. Edited October 14, 2008 by Len_A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
