I saw one of these in the parking lot at work. I liked the look of it. It's a big bulbous car but with slick lines if that's possible. Think Chrysler 300C although they don't look similar. Nice 19" rims shroud in 255 45's and duals. Interior looked decent. Anyway after doing a little research I've found several motors they were going to come with. Since this was from a rental company and probably an '08 it would probably have the 315hp V8 right? I know the '09 is either going to come with a twin spooled 6 making 415hp or a an 8 making similar power. I may rent one for the weekend just to put it through it's paces. Anyone have more info on this car, I did like it's look. Thanks... BTW, I don't work for a rental car company...

The 09's have an N/A sixxer pushing 270 hp and 265 trq. They look nice though.

I remember hearing that the MKS was going to be one of the first cars to get an EcoBoost motor.

99GTVert, where did you find those specs?

they are real nice. I test drove one with my dad when car shopping for a winter car and it's got some cool stuff. I like the little button access thing that pops up on the b pillar only when needed. It's real comfortable and even though it's kinda big it has real good vision all around (not alot of blind spots), drives like a much smaller car, and feels very solidly built.

That's not very good fuel economy for today's cars,17city/24highway. That's going to kill that car alone, it's not fast enough to justify it.

Morbid Intentions

I actually put a down payment on an ecoboost one quite a few months ago, they are supposed to be putting down 340BHP @ 340lbs tq, and the lincoln rep I talked to at the auto show said the engine is going to be severly detuned

so as far as I can tell it's going to be a badass tuner platform to crank boostand swap snails... I don't know that as fact yet though

since I bought my GTO I have since pulled out of the deal as there really is no reason to have one seeing as I have a perfectly fine V8 LS and a go fast car

there willbe anAWD option as well, which... if done right would be a decently quick car from a dig
