In what is becoming a signature feature for Lincoln, the grille of the 2007 MKZ extends the width of the nose and is bracketed by intricately styled headlights. In the back are large taillights, too large really, especially compared with the small exhaust outlets. The flanks of the MKZ are adorned with strips of chrome, and the trunk lid is creased to frame the Lincoln emblem in the center. In a vacuum, it’s a nice looking car, but its profile and many of its styling cues are too similar to its platform-mates – the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan – both of which cost considerably less.
