Is she set on a sedan, or is there any interest in a small SUV? Ms. CH is driving an Escape Hybrid and loves it. The vehicle is quiet, rides well, and averages 34 mpg.

I have driven both, I feel the LS simply cannot handle the MKZ. Its in a different league (V6). Also, the styling is much nicer, and the car is spacious.

Personally I would look into the Milan premier V6 AWD. Looks as good and performs the same. Good Luck pleasing the MS.

Will do if it's pre-owned.

If it's the MKZ or Milan they would have to be the AWD version. Also looking Chargers... the non-V6 kind :D.

I'll take any MM... red, blue, silver, black....

The wife's response to another MM was "I don't like your car... why would I get one?"

MKZ ....... we checked it out, and were impressed.

Also, even if there has been some unkind words spoken, from me, even, we liked the MKX even better, especially the safety features.

Can you say headlights that look around the corner + AWD + heated & cooled seats, which we love in the Aviator + that silky smooth 6sp tranny. :lovies:

Power windows
Power brakes
Power trunk release
Power door locks
Aftermarket sunroof
Viper alarm system (siren doesn't work)
Really needs a good compounding or a paint job

The Milan is actually a nice car. I had one as a loaner for a week. Handles well, smooth,and that new V6 is nice. this one didn't have the leather interior etc, and I'd want that if I were to get one.

Well....... test drove an MKZ, wife relly liked it. A minature Lincoln.

Test drove a Charger R/T.

She's getting the Charger. It's a Silver Steel Metallic R/T w/ the R&T package. Some serious competition for my MM....... :(
