Fordowner Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I still think the first gen MKX was the most attractive on the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I still think the first gen MKX was the most attractive on the outside. From the rear maybe but I hated that eggcrate front grille which is why we bought the Edge (along with the $4K savings). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 I still think the first gen MKX was the most attractive on the outside. I agree....the current model looks nice on the front, but lost some individuality when going away from the full width lightbar. I do think the new concept looked great, though.

What do you think of the MKC interior compared to the (older) MKZ interior? The MKC reviewers repeatedly said it was much better than the current MKZ. Just wondering if you concur.

PREMiERdrum Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 This one? I think he means the MKZ interior (current, but older than) compared to the MKC interior. The theme is incredibly similar between the two but the MKC is getting much higher marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The theme is incredibly similar between the two but the MKC is getting much higher marks. That's why I was confused haha. I've not had much seat time in the MKZ, but I was very impressed with the MKC. I think they used much better materials in the MKC, where they kinda cheaped out on the MKZ. Our auto show is coming up in a few weeks, I'll be happy to check the MKZ out more there. I know in the MKC, they used leather on the dash, and real wood and metal trim, whereas i think it was plastics in the Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) No - sorry. I meant the current MKZ interior which is an older version of the new MKC interior. Apparently MKZ was the first try and they made significant upgrades for the MKC version. edit: PD nailed it.

jesster1228 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I had an MKZ 3.7 loaner for 3 days and test drove an MKC 2.0 both black on black. For me, the current MKZ interior (which I like) comes of as modern yet sterile while the MKC has more dimension. They are similarly styled but the C has a more "crafted" interior - if that's the right word. The open pore wood & metal trim curves not just in plan but in section, too. It feels and looks more expensive but that might be due to the upgraded leather. The Z door panels have no detail where the C has extra stitching. The Z also benefits from having less sparkly flat black plastic on the console. Both are an upgrade from the '10 MKS. I've decided to wait for the '16 MKZ before making a decision on my next car.

ANTAUS Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) Speaking of, saw this tacky thing when I arrived at the restaurant. Just when you think it gets better, someone always has to bring tacky back. Edited October 18, 2014 by ANTAUS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardJensen Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Sheesh. That looks terrible. Why do people will like that look? Think about it this way: Why do men's suits have lapels, and why do men wear ties with suits/blazers? It's a decoration that makes sense only within an established convention. For this class of person, the convention is that a fake convertible roof = class. If you want to blame anyone, you can blame Lee Iacocca, who spent much of the 60s and 70s doing his best to convince people of it. He was doing this, of course, because----as mentioned in another thread---it added minimal cost, while adding a fair bit of value. You could try convincing them that times have changed, but you'd probably have to start by convincing them that thick pile powder blue carpet is *also* no longer in style. And that carpeted kitchens are passe, and so on and so forth..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonj80 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I've decided to wait for the '16 MKZ before making a decision on my next car. Seen 2 Mules on the '16 MKZ, Latest Fleet Order guide shows that the '16's will be out late Q2 next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
