The Lincoln MKS is the mid-size luxury sedan with all of the fixings. Hand-stitched leather seating, duel climate control, a powerful engine, All Wheel Drive, and most importantly (to this publication anyway) Microsoft Sync and the GPS.

Well, I got mine earlier today and have been playing with it; it’s the same color as the OnCentro one. I must say, I love it.
