2009 Lincoln MKS

By Jonathan Wong and Bob Gritzinger

After years of neglect, Lincoln is getting serious about the large luxury sedan segment again with the introduction of the 2009 MKS.

While the Lincoln Town Car has remained largely unchanged and mostly relegated to the service industry, the MKS captivates with style, comfort and technology.

When the MKS arrives in showrooms next summer, it will have a base price of less than $38,000. Fully loaded models should have a sticker price of around $48,000, Lincoln officials said.

And a year after its launch, the MKS will be the first Ford Motor product to get the automaker’s new turbocharged gasoline direct-injection engine–which the company says combines V8 power with V6 fuel economy. Lincoln expects that 60 percent of MKS buyers will be new to the brand.

The MKS’ design represents the first of Lincoln’s modern product portfolio and borrows cues from past Lincolns. The double wing split front grille, inspired by the 1941 Continental, is the most notable nod to Lincoln’s design heritage. Another cue: Symmetrical wing-like instruments in the interior, adapted from 1960s Lincoln models.

Interior features include specially developed leather comfort seats, a large rear-opening door in its class, heated and cooled front seats and heated rear seats, and a dual-panel moon roof. Adaptive cruise control, automatic high beam and a voice-activated communication and entertainment system highlight the technology offerings.

Power comes from a new 3.7-liter, 270 hp V6 connected to a six-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is available. The MKS arrives in showrooms next summer. The base price will start below $38,000.

It will add more fuel to Lincolns sales momentum. Through the first 10 months of this year, Lincoln’s U.S. sales are up 14.7 percent, while Mercury’s are down 9.0 percent. With 112,678 sales through October, Lincoln trails Mercury by 29,909 units.

A convoy of over 124 limousines from across the UK and stretching nearly 2 miles long, gathered in London last month to raise money for charity and set a world record. The event was sponsored by the National Limousine and Chauffeur Association and the European Limousine News and took place on October 8 along the Blackpool Promenade and was described as a GOLDEN MILE OF LIMOUSINES. The convoy raised a total of $40,000. Half of the money raised during the event was donated to charity of choice. Officials from Guinness World Records were on hand to award the event the WORLD RECORD LIMOUSINE CONVOY.

NEW YORK(AP) Oil prices stalled in their climb toward $100 a barrel Wednesday after a government report said oil inventories fell less than expected last week while refinery utilization remained flat.

Oil investors largely viewed the report as neutral in that it confirmed a view that oil supplies are falling, but offered no real surprises. A larger than expected drop would most certainly have propelled oil past $100 a barrel for the first time.

Crude inventories did fall at the closely-watched New York Mercantile Exchange delivery terminal in Cushing, Okla., but that did not appear to be enough to propel prices sharply higher.

“We got kind of a mixed reaction,” said Phil Flynn, an analyst at Alaron Trading Corp. in Chicago.

At the pump, meanwhile, the national average price of a gallon of gas rose 1.9 cents overnight to $3.043, according to AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. Prices are up nearly 29 cents since mid-October and are 85 cents higher than a year ago.

Some analysts think oil prices have far outpaced levels that are justified by the underlying principles of supply and demand.

This is a classic seasonal package for any limousine company, whether there is snow on the ground or not. Nobody can resist around town to check out the awesome displays of lights strewn across houses. Limousines give families and friends the chance to enjoy the scenery without having to worry about who is going to watch the road. Light tours are good on any day of the week as well.  We encourage people to book our 1 hr champagne tour specials for weekdays. This package is cheap and it shows you many parts of the city. Unless you want to take a limo around Long Island and see Long Beach Christmas lights or Jones Beach and many other places that offer light shows.  We put a fireplace DVD on in the limousine for you to feel the holiday wormth. It give a limousine a nice, warm and cozy feel while they enjoy the ride.  Weekends are very busy during the holidays because everybody wants to rent a New York limousine around town and that is the busiest time for tours.

I just hope you never got your serf into this situation. Bottoming out on a hill to the point where they have to tow you away.
