Car Forum / Ford / Ford Cars / June 2008new Lincoln (MKS?)
when the Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego came out in 2005, mags said a Lincoln version was to follow. 3 years later, I'm now seeing tv commercials for it..........went to Lincoln.com and there's no mention of it. But there are several independent sites that have details and pricing. was interested until I noticed that the engine requires premium gas.......good job guys. The 3.5 V6 does not require premium. The last Lincoln to require premium fuel was the Lincoln LS V8. I have a 20005 LS and it runs fine on regular 89, in any event > when the Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego came out in 2005, mags > said a Lincoln version was to follow.

Ed That is true, but the Lincoln he was referencing was the 2008 MKZ not the 2009 MKS, that is just coming to market. My 2008 MKZ has the 3.5 and it uses 87 octane as did my previous Zephyr that had the 3.0 V >> The 3.5 V6 does not require premium. The last Lincoln to require >> premium fuel was the Lincoln LS V8.

No where in the original post was the MKZ mentioned at all.

I had no problems finding the official site: http://www.lincoln.com/reachhigher/?referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eford% 2Ecom&glbcmp=ford|vehicles Shorter version: http://tinyurl.com/5hzbbe As for premium, it's not as 'expensive' as it used to be. At $2.00/gal, the typical $0.20 extra was a 10% increase. Now at $4.00/gal, it's only a 5% increase. -- If there is a no_junk in my address, please REMOVE it before replying!

You mentioned "2009 Ford > truck," not me LOL Mike, read the whole thread. I said that Ford didn't even come out with 2009 Ford trucks yet. And you responded that you had a 2009 Ford. I asked if it were a Ford car or truck. Get a clue man. You don't need to be an a.shole. Jeff >>> Based on many of the things you post, apparently there is a lot you don't >>> know.

On a side note, I read that due to the crash in truck sales, the 2009 F150's will be delayed at least 2 months, from late summer to the fall.

All junk mail senders will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law!! http://home.att.net/~andyross I wonder if any of the manufacture who are currently selling vehicles in the US, would be HAPPY to be selling a high profit one that is still selling at the rate of 500,000 a year as annual sales fall from 16,000,000 to 14,500,000? Wanna bet Toyota would love to selling ONLY 500,000 Tondras ;) >> > I owned four Lincoln LS V8s, a 2000. 2002. 2004 still have a 2205 >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > On a side note, I read that due to the crash in truck sales, the 2009 > F150's will be delayed at least 2 months, from late summer to the fall. |
