Call them revisions or call them fixes;
either way, Lincoln has done a good amount of something to the 2013 MKS.
This is not a remake, but instead a heavy refresh like those applied to
several Ford and Lincoln products of late. (See 2011 Ford Edge/Lincoln
MKZ and 2011 Ford Mustang.)
The hard part for the team making over the MKS
had to be dealing with just that: hard points. In this platform’s
evolution from Volvo S80 to Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego to
current Taurus and MKS, it has underpinned a lot of big sedans and
crossovers, few of them stylistic successes and none of them knockouts.
It’s almost as if the MKS is only now exiting puberty—although its bones
still don’t quite match its role in life. And so the awkwardly tight
rear compartment, tallish cabin, and high beltline remain. With a
structure like that, engineers and designers can do only so much.
