Yea stupid iPad lol
Hmmmmmm......
Trade in an excellently handling, excellently balanced RWD car for a nose heavy FWD appliance......
There's a reason there are currently no Lincolns in my future. Sure, the MkS looks sweet, but you still have to drive it. It may handle well for what it is, but you won't be able to do what you can in the LS. I took my niece on a twisty road the other day as she said she likes curvy roads. She was quite surprised at just how fast we were taking the twisties! I only got tire squeal twice! Her parents have a couple of FWD appliances.
Anyway, do what you want. If you're going there, how about the Taurus SHO?

I think there was a couple of those threads. What's the mileage reading now on the ls, you wanna upgrade to a fwd conti instead?
... seriously, your ls is super clean. why do you keep contemplating on selling it?

If you can get ahold of him talk to the member BrklynExpress. He traded in his LS for an AWD Ecoboost MKS and had nothing but issues with it. Blown transmission, crap handling, misfires within a year of owning it. Sorely missed his LS. Your call though but I'd personally wait a few more years until they work all the kinks out.

Mks?
Car and Driver has a bad rating on that Lincoln,Poor bang for the buck high maintenance,front wheel drive,six cylinder (WEAK ) shall i go on keep your LS youll be happier in the long run.
A new car only feels new once and when it wears off you are still paying for something different Only.

You seem to not enjoy the LS. seen multipe threads/posts where you mention wanting to sell it.
Lots of guys on here would love to have an 06, and even more so one thats paid off. The MKS is nice and all but the LS just cant be compared.

I've thought about an mks before. I've seen ecoboost ones with the appearance package and under 40k go for 28-30grand. But I'm not going to pay 28 grand for a car that my ls out performs. The handling and steering just don't even compare. If I did get an mks I would for sure do this, in addition to monochroming the window trim as all, lowering kit, tint, and some oter stuff. And it still wouldn't even compare to my ls in looks and performance both. IMO. http://www.hennesseyperformance.com/ma.html
Well in performance aspect they are faster and awd but still fwd biased and im sure they dont handle as well as the LS. Im sure they dont sound as good either.
They also have even more electronics...hence more to go wrong.

It all depends what YOU look for in a car. Not all cars are created equal and the LS and MKS seem to be two very different cars. I've heard the 09 MKS are complete crap though for maintenance, but what do you expect for a first year of a car being produced? I've heard the newer ones are better from what I've read. I'd suggest looking at a 2011 or newer but that's going to be more expensive.
