With the relative (<em>very</em> relative) success of the new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/14/la-2007-the-marvelous-2009-lincoln-mks-revealed-live-video/">MKS</a> flagship, Lincoln has apparently decided that grafting the MKS mug onto the mid-size MKZ can only help, as well. Not that the old nose really needed rhinoplasty, but the entry-level luxury sedan would look out of place lacking the brand's new "Winged Grille" that debuted on the MKS and will also be seen on the upcoming <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/19/spy-shots-2010-lincoln-mkt/">MKT</a> three-row crossover. We don't know if a new grille is going to do the trick on its own, though we expect the MKZ to also benefit from the same across the board engine updates as the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/29/2010-ford-fusion-revealed-with-new-face-new-engines-and-new-six/">2010 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan</a>, sans a hybrid version. All three vehicles will be unveiled at the 2008 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/LA-Auto-Show/">LA Auto Show</a> next week, and we'll be sure to bring shots from the show floor.<br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.autoobserver.com/2008/11/lincoln-updates-mkz-as-marques-sales-sputter.html">AutoObserve r</a>]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/11/spy-shot-lincoln-mkz-getting-mks-like-update/">Spy Shot: 2010 Lincoln MKZ getting MKS-like update</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Tue, 11 Nov 2008 15:59:00 EST.
