Good to hear. I've begun seeing a few of these driving around. I think they look better than most cars in the segment and I hope they do well in the market.

Has anyone taken one for a drive yet?

Yup. Its drives nice and plush. Interior is pretty nice, esp with the dual moonroofs. Power is respectable, but its no V8 Conti or Mark.

Handling is nothing special, but that's like all luxo fake-suvs. I don't get why people like these things.

Pro,

Are you going to do a review of the MKX?

Just went out this weekend to test drive the MKX w/my mother. She's in the market to replace her old van as a daily driver. Personally, I'm not big on SUVs or crossovers but was fairly impressed w/the way the MKX drives. It's light years ahead of her Town and Country. The interior really won her over though. She's a big fan of the air con seats and the GIANT sunroof. Her toy car is a supercharged and otherwise modded Miata so having a luxury four door that can almost double as a convertible is a big draw. As it turns out she placed an order for a black over camel MKX w/all the goodies this afternoon. I'll try and get some pictures up when she takes delivery.

^^^^Congrats, they sure do look nice :cool: ...I love the A/C seats on my Zephyr, and I'll give credit where credit is due, the leather Lincoln uses is top notch, very comfortable.
