    It's official- 2010 Ford Taurus SHO with EcoBoost- 0-60 in 5.2 seconds

    That's 0.2 seconds faster than a V-10 powered Audi S6. :) Mixed reviews from Car and Driver: http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/hot_lists/high_performance/furious_four_doors/2010_ford_taurus_sho_ecoboost_road_test/(page)/1 Positive initial reviews from Edmunds: "FORD BUILDS a BMW"...

    First review of the Eco-Boosted 2010 MKT and MKS

    I have to say the MKT still has a polarizing exterior, but the interior is generations beyond the current Navigator. And the MKS looks sick in black. An Appearance Sport package will be released in the near future for the MKS. The Taurus SHO might handle better than the MKS-EcoBoosted...

    EcoBoost on MKT

    Yes yes, I know the MKT isn't really related to the LS, but since the MKS is the descendant of the LS, and will also be incorporating the EcoBoost TT V-6, thought I'd show the pix here. I believe it's the first picture of an EcoBoost mounted in a Lincoln vehicle. I don't know how well the...

    2009 Lincoln MKS Review by Edmunds

    It's official! New Lincoln MKT + more info about the 2009 EcoBoost Twin Turbos V6

    Lincoln officially unveiled their new Lincoln MKT concept, their version of the upcoming Ford Flex. I know, it's not really related to the Lincoln LS, but it is in a way- its styling was inspired by the concept MKR, which in turn inspired the MKS, which is the LS replacement. Also, the...

    HOT! EcoBoost Taurus drag racing BMW and STS! Also, new Ford RWD!

    - Ford put up a video of a Taurus mule with the new EcoBoost Twin Turbo V-6s, racing a BMW 3 series and a Caddy STS. Hard to tell whether it's a 335i, and granted the whole thing was probably fixed, but it gives nice insight into how the MKS with twin turbos will probably perform...

    New GTDI Twin Turbo Engine revealed for 2009 Lincoln MKS

    Unfortunately, Ford ditched the awesome sounding 'TwinForce' moniker for the 'EcoBoost' name, I guess in light of the new CAFE standards and everyone's fuel economy worries. But the engine for the MKS is a: - 3.5L TT V-6 with 340 hp, and more than 340 lb-ft of torque (2K-5K rpm). - 150...

    HOT!! Brand New 2009 Lincoln MKS Interior Shots!

    From the car that will replace the LS. From LLN: "The Lincoln MKS has been hitting the test circuit pretty hard the past two weeks, and the spies at KGP Photography finally got close enough to a prototype to snap two revealing photos of its interior, along with some other close-up details...

    Updated 2009 Lincoln MKS pix! (LS replacement)

    Actually, the images are a couple weeks old, but I somehow missed them. Don't think they've been posted yet either. http://images.leftlanenews.com/content/1-2009-lincoln-mks-spied-april.jpg http://images.leftlanenews.com/content/2-2009-lincoln-mks-spied-april.jpg...

    Brake lights just went out?

    My check light symbol came on yesterday, and it seems that my left rear brake light and center high mounted light are both off, although thankfully my right rear light is still fine. It appears to be just the brake light, as my turn signals, and whatever lights that come on when I hit the...

    Forget the Hemi! Embrace the new TwinForce!

    Ford's newest direct injection TwinForce TT V-6 (revealed at the Detroit Auto Show today), which will in all likelihood, be used on the upcoming Lincoln MKS. Ford claims that it offers 15% better fuel economy over a 6.0L V-8 offering the same horsepower.

    Early X-mas Present- Lincoln MKR RWD Concept

    Someone leaked photos of the upcoming MKR (not MKS!) sedan ahead of the Detroit auto show in January. Unfortunately, the pictures were removed due to copyright reasons, but the news so far is great! - Twin turbo V6 driving 415HP!! - Peak horsepower at 5750 rpm, but delivers 400 lb-ft of...

    Ford Falcon RWD Architecture going to future Lincolns?

    http://www.businessweek.com/autos/content/dec2006/bw20061212_753286.htm?chan=autos_autos+index+page Sounds too good to be true!

    Would you buy this car as an LS replacement?

    It's the European 2007 Ford Mondeo, photoshopped as a Mercury, but I think it would sell great in the US in a souped up version in the Lincoln line, even as an LS replacement. IMO, it looks better than the MKS prototype. And if not LS replacement, then a much better version of the MKZ. I...

    Good news! Lincoln MKS to get V8 afterall!

    Although, I hope they will also offer a twin turbo V-6 as well. If the new BMW 330xi coupe with the twin turbos shows anything, it's that a well designed engine can compete favorably (with the M-series BMWs no less!) with very little turbo lag. I hope the Lincoln MMS isn't anything like...

    MKS gets an exclusive 3.7L V-6

    in today's Ford release, they made a mention of this, but no further info, no idea if it's twin turbo or not. Might just be a 300+ hp V-6 like in the Acura RL?
