2013 lincoln mkz

compact luxury - sedan

​Out of a possible 460 points, the MKZ surprises everyone with its 231.  With a final score of 50%, this new MKZ sits in the middle of being a dud or stud for Lincoln.  Our guess is that it will wind up being a flop due to its outrageous styling

Front End: C
    Good: Great retro inspired grille and all too cool fog light enclosures
    Bad: Bulbous bumpers mix with the tiny head lights
Rear End: D+
    Good: Well designed and integrated exhaust
    Bad: An all too long fish tail spoiler and tail lights that are way too short
Side: C
    Good: Nicely placed handles and great looking mirrors
    Bad: Stepped body line which adds to this dull looking side
Overall Appeal: B
    Good: One low, mysterious car with an outline of its own.
    Bad: The ugly duckling of the bunch who has too many edges

​OVERALL GRADE = C
