Not that I dislike the Lincoln Town Car…..just the opposite! I love the Town Car! Especially when someone else is driving! One of the things that you get used to very quickly in NYC is car service. The vast majority of the services in town use the Lincoln Town Cars, and for good reason! If I am given the choice (which happens pretty often) between taking a limo or a Town Car, I’ll always opt for the Town Car. Smooth, quiet ride, completely pampered in luxury……my ride (normally to or from an airport) becomes my sanctuary…..can’t compare!
The people at Lincoln certainly hit an appropriate note when they introduced the new 2011 MKX and MKZ to the press at the Lincoln Pampering Event at MILK Studio’s in the Meat Packing District on December 6, 2010. The 2011 MKX and MKZ are the first of seven new vehicles that Lincoln will unveil in the upcoming years. These vehicles seamlessly integrate technology and design. The vehicles feature My Lincoln Touch, which is an interaction between driver and car like never seen before. This feature utilizes intuitive technology that the driver can activate three ways; by voice, by touch screen or by steering wheel controls. This will allow the driver to concentrate on more important things, like the road! The technology is even able to offer the driver the most eco-friendly route.
Luxury and hybrid designs normally do not go together. And they certainly have not been priced the same until now. The MKZ hybrid is priced the same as its gasoline counterpart. It is nice to not have the car company penalize the buyer for wanting to be more environmentally conscious! The MKZ is also made with organic leather (which can be recycled), as well wood from sustainable forests for its luxurious interior design.
The 2011 Lincoln’s have been rated as the most fuel efficient as well as having the most torque in its class. The MKZ gets 41 mpg in city driving and is 50% more fuel efficient than any other luxury vehicle. It uses the battery not fuel thus reducing the gas needed and saving fuel. In city speak; a tank of gas will enable you to drive 700 miles, which is 200 more than its competition. It is a good thing the car’s technology will locate the nearest gas station, because with mileage like that, you will forget where the gas stations are located. You will rarely see one!
Made in the USA, the MKX and MKZ have all of the best features that a Lincoln is known for; a quiet, smooth, luxurious ride. The cars are also sleek and stylish, and have the most standard features like heated/cooled front seats and heated steering wheel. They combine the utmost in luxury with the latest in technology, while having the best mileage and power in its class. They make me long for those days I had a garage and driveway! If I was looking for a luxury vehicle, my search would begin and end with the Lincoln. My hardest choice would be what color! For more on these outstanding cars see www.lincoln.com. And test drive one of these babies before making any new car decisions!
