The MKS, which is the priciest sedan offered by Lincoln, is back to business as usual in 2012. Although it rests on a Volvo platform, the MKS shares a number of components with the Ford Taurus. It’s offered as a base version with FWD or as an AWD. In either case, it’s equipped with a 3.7L V6, except the EcoBoost versions, which get a 3.5L twin turbo V6.
