I'm no SHO hater but having a MKS Ecoboost, especially with a tune.. would take the 'sleep quotient' to a whole new level. Frankly, I think both the SHO and this are both great options.

@ChrisJustinParr Keep in mind that Lincoln is pretty much starting over with its current lineup of vehicles. I give them credit for realizing that they had to change and knowing that dinosaurs like the Towncar and Continental weren't gonna cut it anymore. This turbo MKS is no slouch....it weighs 4000 lbs, is larger than the biggest Lexus, yet hits 0-60 in the mid 5's....not too shabby.

I just drove this car today. I used the self-parking feature. It was seamless. With features like that, BLIS, mykey, EPAS, CTA, Sirius Travel Link and 20" wheels, it is quite a vehicle. Not to mention having ambient lighting, panoramic roof, genuine materials, looks and other exclusive features. There really is nothing else like it. No matter what all of the other mock-accounts in my name say. Itgeek is just butt hurt that I ruined the image of the Genesis.

No, Hyundai claimed the only other car to have the Lexicon audio is a Rolls Royce. That doesn't mean you are getting the same system in the Genesis. So, you admit the Lincoln's system is better. You just said more intensity is good and that the Lincoln has more. So, you agree with me. Well it looks as though you are pretty well liked on your profile... lol. Why do you even bring up the S-class? We are talking about two other cars.

Fine i forgot to answer that question. Like i said since Genesis has style that inspires many cars, yet it has it's own appearance. To make it simple, single unique aspect of the Genesis is the whole dimension of the car. Like i said, unless people get trained, you think every car looks the same. And this is the case when you think Genesis just ripped off everything, but technically it looks different. But y are you arguing with me? What did i do?

I don't think you are anti MKS. However, saying that you get a car like the Genesis which is bigger, better and cheaper simply isn't true. There are so many areas that the Genesis doesn't compare the MKS based on features alone that it isn't really worth considering. Not to mention, one car engineered to be genuinly good on its own right where the other was made to mock the competition. On the most basic purpose of a Luxury sedan is where the Genesis fails to compare to others.

@2003LincolnLS Yes. AWD. Which in the case of the MKS and SHO means it's a front-biased, part-time system. In other words, it's FWD 99% of the time. The rear wheels only engage in the event of front wheel slip. The system is similar to the HALDEX system used on some Volvos. If you did some research before you post, you would know that. Have a nice day.

@ChrisJustinParr I don't like the name Eco-Boost either. Ford was kissing up to all of the tree hugging Marys with this choice of names. Why not "Turbo-Boost," or "Turbo-Thrust?" My hunch is Lincoln is still a work in progress, and their lineup is no where near where they want it to end up. In time, I'm sure they want a convertible and a 2 door high performance car in the lineup, but the brand currently doesn't have the cash to add these cars yet. Their big SUV also needs a huge makeover.

What? You said it was the same size because they looked the same. That hardly means the Genesis is as big as a 7-series or S-class. And yes it is considered copied when the layout is nearly identical and such a radical departure from previous Hyundai models. Since when is more intensity a bad thing? It doesn't mean it has worse sound quality though. But, it doesn't claim to come from a Rolls Royce as the Genesis does. Which, is simply false because they have nothing to do with each other.

u're correct on lotus using a toyota four banger but incorrect that the fastest porsches use turbo V8's. the only vehicles in their lineup that use a V8 are the cayenne and the new panamera. the 911 is their fastest vehicle and uses a flat turbo 6.

is making a car size with other cars considered as copied?? You said Lincoln has better Watts than Genesis. Hence, better audio quality. Do you know what Watt does? To make it simple, more Watts means more intensity(Louder). Does that mean it has better audio quality? i don't think so. And what i meant by Surround sound is that Genesis has higher number of Surround System.

It's not a bad looking Taurus. But it is not a true Lincoln. First, it is FWD. Next, it has classic FWD proportions with long front overhang, wheels too close to center of vehicle, and front fender line too close to leading edge of front door. It certainly isn't on par with the likes of Lexus, Infiniti, Mercedes, BMW, Cadillac, or any other premium luxury carmaker. That's sad considering how far down market Lincoln has sunk in the past decade or so.
