2010 lincoln mkz

Like its Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan cousins, the new Lincoln MKZ is gaining bolder styling in front and back, which for the 2010 MKZ means a version of the bow-wave, double-wing grille found on the new MKT concept. Much of the sedan's center section, however, looks similar to that of the 2009 MKZ. Expect a healthy dose of technology in the cabin, including Sync, Sirius Travel Link, and possibly HD radio as well. Ford also plans to expand its lineup of EcoBoost engines over the next few years (with the goal of producing 750,000 annually by 2013), but while the automaker's 340-hp, 340-lb-ft turbocharged and direct-injected 3.5L V-6 will be available in the new MKS next year, there's no word on whether the MKZ will get the same treatment -- currently the model uses a naturally aspirated 3.5L V-6 good for 263 hp.
