![]() ![]() The MKS' performance is quick and strong, but perhaps not dynamically on par with true sport sedans like the better E-Class and 5-Series four-doors. Front seats are all-day comfortable, and the MKS interior is supremely quiet on all kinds of surfaces (there's active noise cancellation, too). Inside, at least in the front seat, quiet, classy styling is a big contrast with the glitzy showmanship you'll find inside some of these rivals. The high beltline and short, abbreviated roofline arch impinge on backseat space, but the handsome stance works well from the outside even if its proportions are think and somewhat high-waisted. Against that set of vehicles, the Lincoln MKS is a bit larger, with that much more shoulder room inside-especially in front. The Infiniti TK (nee M37), Lexus GS, and Volvo S80 compete directly, though the Audi A6, BMW 5-Series, and Mercedes-Benz E-Class are all full luxury brands. The crowded segment of mid-size to large sedans in the near-luxury class includes a number of worthy competitors to the MKS. It piles on the luxury features, with a generous dose of advanced technology for a car now in its sixth model year, but it's also a surprisingly stronger performer-even if you'd never know it from the outside. The MKS is far from that ancient land barge it's a husky four-door premium sedan built for American-sized people that is actually something of a sleeper. Perhaps at last the 2014 Lincoln MKS will be able to emerge from the shadows of its ancestors now that the gigantic, ancient Town Car has been gone from showrooms for a couple of years. ![]()
