After much discussion about the Lincoln MKS to introduce with a V6 or tuned V6 engine, Ford issued a survey that asked consumers which engine would appear best with the MKS, and the result? Many voted for the V8, opposed to the V6.

So now, it appears that reports say that the MKS will be powered by a 315 horsepower V8 in order to compete with rivals.

Addition to the report, there will be the panoramic glass or VistaRoof, as seen on the Ford Edge and upcoming Lincoln vehicles; adaptive LED headlamps, similar to that of the Lexus LS600h; 20-inch wheels which are a first for Lincoln sedans; Bluetooth connectivity; DVD audio; and the Lincoln Mobile Media System, which uses an 8-inch LCD display to handle navigation, audio/entertainment, climate control, and it can also download data such as weather.

Oh, thank god!

They NEED it!!!

They need it to at least beat the STS- but I don't see that happening. Poor Lincoln... it and Mercury are the forgotten brands...

If they can just give the V8 some balls it'd be even better. 315hp just isn't enough when you got BMW 550's and E550's roaming the roads. It should have roughly 350-375 that would at least make it a player. But either way I'm glad they are bringing a nice MKS to the party.

Best looking Lincoln ever..Now my question is this. Is this the actual picture of a production scale or something drawn up with X-box?

Lincoln needs to build American cars, not fake European cars. Where's the continental concept from a few years back? A big V8, a plush interior, and style is what Lincoln should be about.

the "american car" you refer to has been dead for over a decade. oil reserves are not infinite. european cars are designed with that in mind. enjoy your european-inspired lincoln, cause the old american lincoln is long gone

It reminds me of an Infiniti for some reason, similar to that of the M.

This car looks nice and I hope Ford makes sure that the quality is top notch. As for V6 or V8, it should have the option of either. Why not? Ford has a nice new 3.5L V6 (which I believe is direct injection ready). They might as well offer both for people with different interests/needs.
