SVT_MAN Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Pretty much what we were expecting if I'm not mistaken. Looks nice. I still see Lincolns as a tough sell though with how good Fords are now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORG Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) YES! CAN I HAZ?! She is SOOO purddy! I love it, it's perfect! Edited January 12, 2010 by BORG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREMiERdrum Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Very nice! This is - hands down - my favorite iteration of the Split-Wing grille... they kept the matchbox car proportions even with the new nose. Nice work! And I love what they did with the "X" in the MKX badge on the rear... nice touch! Edited January 12, 2010 by PREMiERdrum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 305hp/280lb-ft 3.7L Upgraded 6 speed makes it possible, I'd assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomServo92 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I think the Lincoln face looks better on the MKX than it does on the MKT. The interior looks fantastic. I can tell right now that my wife is going to want to replace her LS with one of these.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Crazy engine management changes. Engine is an Atkinson Cycle as well.... ?huh? http://media.ford.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=31725 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PREMiERdrum Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Wow, now my MKX is going to feel really old and wimpy Exterior-wise, I think that your MKX is going to age quite nicely... the eggcrate grille and squared-off headlamps are enough of a departure from the new one that it doesn't date that much to me. The interior is kind of shamed by the new one though. Time to trade up? :happy feet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navlys32 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Very nice interior, i like the rear exterior too, i just wish they would stop making the front similiar throughout the lineup. Cant wait to see the edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Amazing and impressive. I guess the Edge will debut in NY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomServo92 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I just showed the pics to my 17yo daughter. Now she wants an MKX! She thought it was very cool looking and she loves the MyLincoln Touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danup Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I actually loved the egg-crate grille and (especially) the light bar, but these are handsome updates. The interior is great, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTAUS Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I like the front, its a nice evolution, I dont really care much for the rear..its not ugly, but it doesn't tell me a story. The emblem is just sitting in a field and the first thing that draws your eye is the handle to open the liftgate. I prefer the complete wrap around light bar.

I think this is the best way to describe my feelings of the rear as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Harbinger Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Battery management: “Smart Charging” What it is: A system that allows the battery to be charged or discharged at optimal opportunities instead of allowing the alternator to continuously charge the battery independent of customer use, which wastes energy. Smart Charging increases the alternator output when the vehicle brakes or decelerates, converting the vehicle’s kinetic (motion) energy into electric energy without having to use additional fuel. How it helps: The “free” electric current is used to recharge the battery so that it can be used by the electrical systems later. This could be when the engine is switched off during a stop or when the generator is operating in a less efficient mode. The battery’s advanced management system continually monitors its status and communicates with Ford’s Aggressive Deceleration Fuel Shut-Off system so the regenerative charging feature can charge the battery in the optimal way. The decel system knows how much battery charge is available so that it can leave the engine running if the battery does not have a sufficient level of charge. In other words, regenerative breaking for a non-hybrid vehicle. Is this the first such application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
