This week I had the 2007 Lincoln MKZ, otherwise known as the Ford Fusion. This car is nice. “Nice.” I think that’s the best way to put it. There’s nothing wrong with nice. Nice is good. I like nice. But does nice get me excited? Do people inquire about nice? Does nice make you do something you probably shouldn’t, but just can’t help yourself? No. Nice is just… nice.
The MKZ has a sturdy build, while not looking overweight. It’s got very minimal lines, which are pleasant and unoffending. The outside looks slightly agile with a hint of excitement, but never goes overboard and keeps one foot in the safe zone.

Take a Ford Freestyle, change the name to a former best-selling car, add an “X”, and well, throw in every feature that Ford offers and what do you have? The 2008 Ford Taurus X. An under-whelming, expensive, and generally uninspiring SUV. OK, that’s a little harsh, but it’s moves like this that demonstrates why American automobiles continue to fall at the hands of Japanese and even Korean automakers.
The Taurus was a great-selling car. Obviously people found it’s value-for-the-money to be about right, but for years, I saw people driving them thinking, “What kind of person walks into a Ford dealership and drives away in a Taurus? And are they content after their purchase?” I think this almost every time I see a Taurus. Who buys these? And now, with the Taurus X, filled to the brim with options, and a sticker at just over $38,000, I’m even more unsure.

Beautiful, elegant lines is what defines this car, inside and out. And while the differences over the past years’ models aren’t dramatic, the result of those years of refinement to the current styling is. From close up, to far away this car is beautiful, and the inside only amplifies that sentiment.
The interior is definitely one of the nicest I’ve seen in a car under $60k, and while the price of this car reached $56,000, it started at a humble $38,000 (before adding the V8 and a basket-full of features and expensive luxuries). For a car this nice, I can’t believe it has a base price so low. However, I’d be heart-broken to strip out those luxuries which quickly added up to and took this car from one price class to another.
