2009 Lincoln MKS AWD, Lounging In Suburbia
Looks like reader James Kenney is in a prime location for catching first glimpses of new Ford products. After bringing us a look at that first picture of the 45th Anniversary Ford Mustang, the most over-the-top OMG-amazing-drop-dead-sexy Mustang variant since the one before it, he's managed to spot an actually sexy All-Wheel-Drive version of the 2009 Lincoln MKS. Sure, feel free to scoff along with us as the alphanumeric nomenclature annoyingly consumes another brand, but you can't argue with the sleek styling on the new Lincoln range topper. We hear these are running around with that TwinForce V6 already and can't wait to sample the goods, especially with all wheel drive in place to help put the power to the pavement.

2009 Lincoln MKS Already Busted Up
When out and about this weekend, we stumbled across the new hotness from the Dearborn gang: the 2009 Lincoln MKS. Too bad it's already old and busted. Somebody made a boo-boo on the lower intake of the pretty-in-pearl M-plated car and for some reason attached a tow bar in the wound. In any case, this is the first one we've seen running around full-monty on the streets of Detroit so we'll assume this is one of those mules that get whipped right before production ramp-up starts.

2009 Lincoln MKS Tester Spotted On The 101
When you're as famous as the 2009 Lincoln MKS, sometimes you want to wear a little disguise before you go out. So even though we've seen the MKS live, it doesn't hurt to cover up when heading out among the gentry. That's our theory about what looks to be a pre-production MKS going through testing on California's sunny roads. Of course, it could also be some sort of high performance tester.

CES 2008: Ford Unveils Sirius Travel Link Navigation System, Offers At-A-Glance Gas Prices, Sports Scores, Other Random Info
In addition to a tease of even more Sync-ing to come at the 2008 CES show, Ford's just unveiled their newest toy to complement the Sync system. It's called the Sirius Travel Link navigation system — and it's a nav system that uses Sirius's ability to download data to your in-dash system to give drivers and passengers up-to-the-minute information on the little stuff you need when you're driving — stuff like gas prices, traffic, weather, sports scores and movie listings. All the random tidbits of information you can normally get by looking out your windshield or tuning toWWJyour local AM news station. Well, except for the movie listings. The system also supposedly "includes full music "jukebox" capability - with space for up to 2,400 tracks and Gracenote® technology for album cover art..." and will be first available in the 2009 Lincoln MKS. But anyway, it's just what we wanted — yet another opportunity to watch drivers randomly glancing away from the road. Still, it sounds pretty cool — let us know when we can get RSS feeds from our fave web sites added and we're sold. Full press release after the jump. More » -

LA Auto Show: Lincoln MKS Revealed Live
We showed the press shots of the new 2009 Lincoln MKS late last night — and now here it is — the car Ford CEO Alan Mulally just called the "Caddy-killer" has just been revealed live here at the LA Auto Show. Look at that boldly designed "double winged split grille" signifying the "new design language of the Lincoln brand" as explained to the press folks by Mark "the Mullet" Fields and Peter "Hi I'm Dave" Horbury. It's a look we're affectionately calling the "Horbury hangnail." Next look at that boldly stolen-from-the-new-CTS rear end. Yup, that's most certainly — a something. Full press release on this Sangria-colored Lincoln with "reclaimed sandlewood" interior after the jump. Oh, and did we mention it comes with Sync and it'll start with $37,985 with the 3.7-liter V6 and the 6-speed auto tranny — with pricing topping out at just under $50K? We didn't think so.

LA Auto Show Preview: 2009 Lincoln MKS
So I'm sitting here with Phil Floraday from the Road that is ever-Winding and we're here at the Mini party trying to figure out what to say about Batman's new whip, the 2009 Lincoln MKS. Here's our convo:Phil: What does that replace. It's smaller than the Town Car, I think.
Full press release after the jump.
Ray: Yeah, I dunno. I think it replaces the huge hole in the heart that is the Lincoln lineup. And by heart, I mean sedans. And by sedans I mean any product in general.
Phil: What Cadillac is it supposed to compete against? The BLS?
Ray: Yeah, probably they built this US car to compete with the European-only BLS — that sounds about like the Ford/Lincoln/Mercury product strategy we've all come to know and love.
Phil: But seriously how big is this car? Lieberman, do you know anything about this car?
Jonny: It's a Ford Fusion, right? Isn't it?
Ray: No Jonny, it's not. But it might as well be.
Jonny: There's an all AWD version like my Subie, right?
Ray: Oy — actually it's the Ford Taurus.
Phil: Just what the world needed — a more expensive Mercury Sable.
Ray: Ooh, is that tuna?
Jonny: Wait — what the hell is the MKS?

2009 Lincoln MKS Spotted On North 405
We're not even really sure why Ford's going to all the trouble of camouflaging the new 2009 Lincoln MKS — the dastardly production folks working on the new Batman movie already let the cat out of the bag while filming on set. But, for whatever reason, they're still taping on the canvas and vinyl like on this shot of the new sedan Jalopnik reader and top tipster Sean just sent in for us to gawk at before it's officially revealed at the LA Auto Show next month. Maybe that's why it was out on the 405N out near Wilshire. Or maybe it was just looking for its buddies on-set to grab a quick cappuccino, dahling.
