Lincoln MKS Concept Shows the brand's future

Lincoln this week displayed a concept that reveals the direction the division's flagship car line will take. The new concept, called MKS, also introduces Lincoln's new alphabetic naming system.

The MKS is built on the same basic platform as the Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego, according to media insiders. The MKS concept has a 315-hp V8, six-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive.

The production MKS is likely to debut in early 2008 as a 2009 model.
