If a boldly-styled, beautifully-trimmed, solidly-built, well-equipped and reasonably-priced American midsize luxury sedan that feels and drives more like a European import would fulfill your needs and desires, the 2008 Lincoln MKZ may be an excellent choice.
Lincoln long competed head-to-head with GM’s Cadillac at the top of the U.S. market, but has lost a lot of luster in recent years. If brand image ranks higher than comfort, value and substance on your priority list, you may want to look elsewhere.
