mackinaw Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Well, that's the working name of the new MKS. This is from this week's Automotive News, which has a large article on upcoming Ford and Lincoln products: "Lincoln promised four new vehicles in four years, so the MKS replacement — if it is still called MKS — should arrive late in the second quarter or early in the third of 2016 as a 2017 model. Ford Motor is working on a flagship Lincoln sedan, known internally as the Continental, that could become or replace the MKS. It has a transverse-mounted front engine and all-wheel drive. A spy photo showed a large luxury sedan with a grille strongly resembling those of current Jaguars. Sources say the MKS likely will follow the Taurus and trade its aging Volvo platform for a stretched version of Ford’s global CD4 front-wheel-drive platform with awd as an option. The MKS has been criticized for its cramped rear seat; Lincoln will need a more spacious rear compartment for demanding Chinese customers."

akirby Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 That sounds more like sheer speculation than actual information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpd80 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 And the only thing remarkable about that article was the word,"Continental" had the author not used that term very few people would have bothered reading his report which is at best a regurgitation of what is already known about the next Taurus and MKS.

robertlane Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 There's a lot of buzz about the next-generation MKS and some people at Ford are vying to be on the next-gen Lincoln MKS team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that would be the case, however, suppliers may not be aware of a possible name change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired Guy Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I would like to see a return to the Continental. Good brand name. What is an MKS? Or an MK anything? WHy don't you name it Lincoln 1, Lincoln 2, Lincoln 3? Lincoln needs to bring back good names, names of respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
