Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

The sheetmetal of the 2010 MKS goes a long way toward making reviewers forget about the staid, boring Town Car it replaces.  The MKS looks like a modern luxury car, and that alone is a relief. Most find it a handsome car, though not a particularly dramatic one.  Those who criticize it say it's easily lost in a crowd of Lexuses and Acuras -- but that's not necessarily an insult. 

• "From the side, the MKS is most notable for its strong, chamfered shoulder line and its stainless steel window surround, which widens into a dramatic flourish as it meets the C-pillar. The rear of the car is elegant and spare but quite bland." -- Automobile Magazine
• "The most important aspect, its ‘split wing' grille treatment -- inspired by the seminal 1941 Continental -- looks great, especially with its standard, jewel-like HID adaptive headlights....The profile is either bland, or clean and elegant, depending upon your viewpoint. Lincoln could have been more daring here, but again, a nice looking machine that doesn't give into trendy details." -- Motor Trend
• "Stately proportions and a bold wall-to-wall grille give the MKS some visual heft. When I rolled up to curbs in a brilliant black, all-wheel-drive model, careful not to scour the huge 20-inch chrome wheels, pedestrians often stopped to admire the car. When's the last time you could say that about a Lincoln? " -- New York Times
• In the metal, the MKS appears handsome, with cohesive themes that begin with two tapered headlamp clusters, continue with a gently undulating character line, and resolve in a rear end that vaguely reminds us of the Maserati Quattroporte. That's certainly not a bad association, though we wish more of the MKS's angles and styling cues recalled exotic Italian sedans." -- Popular Mechanics
