artds Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) I don't know whether this was already a known 2014 color choice, as I've been out of the loop for a while. It looked a shade or two lighter than the sterling gray that's available on the navigator, but it could have been the same color. For those who don't know, Birmingham is a posh suburb near Detroit where a number of auto execs live, and its common to see test/future models driving around here. The car looked great in this color and its nice to see Lincoln presumably adding a gray option to the color choices, especially since all of the MKZ's competitors offer one. I presonally didn't care for the Smoked Quartz. I had pretty much made up my mind to go with another BMW or an Audi for my next car, but this may have brought the MKZ back into contention. I'll have to see it for more than 5 seconds though before I make up my mind. Edited May 23, 2013 by artds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

md3184 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I have an mkz and live in b'ham; haven't observed any non-stock (MY2013) colors around. You sure it wasn't the smoked quartz or silver? Those are the two color options currently available in the gray spectrum- it would seem unusual to add a third option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was sterling grey or something close to it. Definitely not one of the existing 2013 color options. Edited June 12, 2013 by artds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timf Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Found some preliminary 2014 information here: http://www.nadaguides.com/cars/2014/Lincoln/MKZ It looks like Sterling Gray is an option on the 2014 MKZ, so you must have seen a pilot build 2014.

artds Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Sterling gray, as far as I know, is a color choice for all Lincoln vehicles. That's incorrect. It wasn't offered as a color choice on the 2013 MKZ. This was likely due to Lincoln wishing to push the new smoked quartz color, and not wanting to have too many options in the gray spectrum.
