All-New Lincoln MKZ Offers More Standard Features, Lower Price Than New Lexus ES 350
MKZ Hybrid, available at same price as base gasoline-powered model, projected to remain America’s most fuel-efficient premium midsize sedan
>The all-new Lincoln MKZ midsize premium sedan, representing the style and substance of the future of Lincoln, delivers more features and lower starting price than the new Lexus ES 350;
>Standard equipment includes 2.0-liter EcoBoost®engine, SYNC®with MyLincoln Touch™driver connect technology, Lincoln Drive Control, unique push-button shift, remote start, LED headlamps and taillamps, and 60/40 split rear seat; class-exclusive retractable panoramic roof makes production debut
DEARBORN, Mich., July 24, 2012– The all-new Lincoln MKZ premium midsize sedan comes standard with more content and a lower starting price than the new Lexus ES 350.
“The new MKZ and MKZ Hybrid are proof of our commitment to reinvent the Lincoln brand for a new generation of Lincoln customers,” said Jim Farley, group vice president, Global Marketing, Sales and Service. “There’s a large group of thoughtful individuals who take great pride in planning and following their own unique paths, and the MKZ is the first of a number of all-new vehicles designed with this same attitude to be a compelling choice for these independent-minded consumers.”
The 2013 Lincoln MKZ includes several segment-firsts, plus features such as all-wheel drive that buyers cannot have on a new Lexus ES 350, whose starting price is $175 more than the new Lincoln MKZ’s.
MKZ’s key standard features include:
Lincoln Drive Control, which orchestrates the performance of the Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD) adjustable suspension, electric power-assisted steering (EPAS), engine, transmission, Active Noise Control, traction control and stability control systems
2.0-liter EcoBoost®engine, projected to produce 240 horsepower and fuel economy of 22 mpg city, 33 mpg highway (front-wheel drive)
Push-button shift, a unique execution that replaces the traditional mechanical transmission shift lever with a contemporary five-button interface and dramatically opens up the center console of the car
The 2013 Lincoln MKZ boasts 10 class-exclusive features, seven of which are standard: push-button shift, LED headlamps, 10.1-inch LCD instrument cluster, Active Noise Control, 8-inch touch screen, remote start and Easy Fuel®capless fuel filler. Available features are the retractable panoramic roof, inflatable rear seat belts and multicontour front seats with Active Motion®.
Base price for all of this is $35,925, excluding $875 delivery and destination charge.
Plus, customers still can choose the MKZ Hybrid – projected to remain America’s most fuel-efficient premium midsize sedan – for the same price, unlike other luxury competitors.
2013 MKZ Hybrid best price in class and improved performance
Lincoln became the first automaker to offer luxury customers a premium hybrid vehicle with a suggested retail price matching its conventional gas sibling, starting with the MKZ Hybrid in 2010.
This model has been a key component to bringing new customers into Lincoln showrooms, with 72 percent of hybrid buyers being new to the brand last year alone.
Lincoln MKZ Hybrid customers receive the same key feature as Lincoln MKZ gas customers in their respective equipment groups. That means, for example, customers opting for the Hybrid Premiere Package receive SYNC with MyLincoln Touch with 8-inch touch screen, leather-trimmed heated front seats, class-exclusive LED headlamps and Lincoln Drive Control.
Other competitors charge a premium for their hybrid models. The 2013 Lexus ES 300h, for example, is priced at $38,850, representing a $2,750 premium over the 2013 Lexus ES 350 and nearly $3,000 ($2,925) more than the 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid.
Exclusive to the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is SmartGauge®with EcoGuide. This instrument cluster coaches drivers to become more fuel efficient, creating visual rewards in the form of the growth of virtual flowers on the system’s right-most screen for the driver’s efforts to operate the car in a fuel-efficient manner on a long-term, day-to-day basis.
Lincoln’s white flowers, inspired by apple blossoms, remain permanently unless lifetime fuel economy is reset.
On the all-new Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, new lithium-ion batteries save weight and generate more power than the previous nickel-metal-hydride batteries. An all-new 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder gas engine retains performance with more efficiency than the previous 2.5-liter unit, and the 70-kilowatt electric traction motor alone can power the car up to 62 mph.
The electric traction motor during launch allows for a smaller gasoline engine and significantly reduces fuel consumption. In addition, when it is used as a generator, it helps recover the vehicle energy during deceleration or braking to recharge the battery pack. Projected total system power is 188 horsepower.
Four levels of choice available
The 2013 Lincoln MKZ will be available in four executions: Premiere, Select, Reserve and Preferred.
The Select package includes the Premiere package plus:
Rear view camera
Wood steering wheel
Ambient lighting
Rear park sensors
HD Radio™technology, which provides better audio quality, improved reception performance and more choices
Accent lighting in headlamps
Auto-dimming driver’s side mirror
The Reserve package includes the Select package plus:
Navigation System with voice recognition
Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) with cross-traffic alert. BLIS alerts when a vehicle enters a blind spot; cross-traffic alert warns of traffic approaching from the sides, such as leaving a parking space in reverse
Power decklid
Cooled seats
Power tilt and telescoping steering wheel
The Preferred package includes the Reserve package plus:
19-inch polished wheels with painted pockets
Premium floor mats
Heated steering wheel
Heated rear seats
110-volt powerpoint (standard on MKZ Hybrid)
THX®II Certified Audio System
Thoughtful and intuitive technology
Meaningful technology applied in an intuitive manner is a key component of this new Lincoln.
Consider, for instance, the MKZ’s retractable panoramic roof. This visually and technically stunning feature becomes a Lincoln signature, offering a 15.2-square-foot glass panel and one of the largest rooftop openings available on any modern sedan. Clickhereto learn more about this available roof, which is priced at $2,995.
For audio enthusiasts, MKZ offers the available Lincoln-exclusive THX II Certified Audio System. It features 700 watts, 14 channels and 14 speakers.
THX audio engineers spent more than 200 hours custom-tuning the THX-certified equipment to deliver home-theater surround sound, creating one of the industry’s most powerful audio systems.
To aid drivers, the new Lincoln MKZ offers a Lane Keeping System, a suite of advanced driving aids that helps drivers avoid drifting from their lane due to distraction or fatigue. Consisting of Lane Keeping Aid, Lane Keeping Alert and Driver Assist, the Lane Keeping System utilizes a mono-vision camera integrated into the rearview mirror to read the lane markers ahead.
The Lane Keeping System is available as part of the Technology Package, which also includes adaptive cruise control, active park assist, auto high beams and rain-sensing wipers. For a more complete description of the Lane Keeping System, clickhere.
The new MKZ is the only sedan in its class to offer inflatable outboard rear seat belts. Rear-seat passengers – often children or mature passengers – can be more vulnerable to head, chest and neck injuries.
These inflatable second-row, outboard seat belts spread impact forces across more than five times the area of conventional belts, reducing pressure on the chest while helping to control head and neck motion and helping reduce the risk of injuries.
Emphasizing performance and efficiency, the optional 3.7-liter V6 engine produces a projected 300 horsepower, an increase of 37 horsepower over the previous MKZ V6, while improving fuel economy approximately 5 percent to an estimated 18 mpg city, 26 mpg highway (all-wheel drive).
“The all-new Lincoln MKZ represents a new day for Lincoln and we consider it a worthy new calling card for a reinvented brand,” said Farley. ”Along with a reinvented customer experience of delightful personal service, we are confident Lincoln will be on the leading edge of attracting a new class of premium buyers who delight in discovering new and better ways of rewarding and distinguishing themselves from the norm.”
The 2013 Lincoln MKZ will be in dealerships in late fall.

It's no secret there was some incredible damage done to many homes in the Santa Clara City limits due to the old dike breaking and flood waters pummeling the homes in its path. Many people lost homes, lost belongings, and are just picking up the pieces-hoping to salvage their most special keepsakes.
We would like to help get the word out about a special concert being held to raise funds to help rebuild the homes of the flood victims this week.

For many people that have grown up in Southern Utah, Pizza Factory is a nostalgic, delicious place to gather. You know every time you enter, you're going to have a good experience.
As I was greeted happily by the hostess and shown to my seat, the hustle and bustle of the place enveloped me. The owner, Bill Randall, or "Pizza Bill" (as some affectionately call him), is always seen buzzing around, but still takes the time to smile and welcome you to the establishment. It's that down-home refreshing friendliness that keeps folks coming back time and time again!
My service was spectacular and the energy addicting. I've been to Pizza Factory more times than I can count and every time that dang garlicky, parmesan-y, buttery breadtwist tastes divine! I can always count on the salad bar being stocked with fresh vegetables, several choices of dressings, and things to add "pizazz" to an otherwise ordinary salad (such as goldfish crackers, sunflower seeds, and the like). The pizza is always a hit and the ratio of topping to cheese is always spot-on. Last, but certainly not least, no one can forget the choice of drinks offered from smoothies to raspberry lemonade to caffeine-free Diet Coke all poured on top of the best, most crunchety (I made that word up), ice known to man. Heaven in a plastic cup!
After finishing my meal, I only wished I had room for dessert! That Never-On-Sundae they serve is a hot piece of de-lish! I think next time I'll just skip to dessert...Yes, indeed. That sounds good, I'll have that.
As Arnold says.... "I'll be back!"

Ken Block's driving skills are INSANE. Have you seen any of his videos? Well...ya ought! Winding turns, road blocks--you name it--he can get around it! Check out this 10 minute video on Ken Block driving the Ford Fiesta. See all our Ford Fiesta's HERE.
Info on the video: DC and Ken Block present Gymkhana FIVE: Ultimate Urban Playground; San Francisco. Shot on the actual streets of San Francisco, California, GYM5 features a focus on fast, raw and precise driving action. Filmed over four days, director Ben Conrad and his team are back to work on their second Gymkhana production and delivered the entire city of San Francisco as Ken Block's personal gymkhana playground. DC Shoes also provided fellow DC athlete and longtime Ken Block friend, Travis Pastrana, to make a cameo appearance on his dirtbike, and S.F. resident Jake Phelps of Thrasher Magazine fame also makes a cameo as Block hoons S.F. in his most incredible Gymkhana yet.
I stopped by Fuego House of Dance to attend their Zumba fitness class. It was REGGAE night and since my dreadlocks and multi-colored hat were at the cleaners, I opted for an all-black ensemble. I have to say, from the moment I walked in, the energy was just addicting! People around me were laughing & talking vivaciously with their friends while we were waiting for the class to begin. And then it began. WOW! Talk about some serious FUN. The moment Shelley & Heidi stepped on their stage, the room went positively WILD! I had to to pinch myself to see if I was really at an exercise class or a PARTY. It was not your mama's jazzercise, that's for dang sure. It was a party and a half and I didn't want it to end!
Shelley & Heidi say from day one, their students have always been the MOST important thing. They wanted to create a place where people could come feel comfortable, important, happy, get healthy and that they could afford. They love to dance and have seen 150 lbs melt away between Heidi and Shelley .
They offer Zumba, Belly Dancing, Insane Fit, Polynesian Dancing , Acting ,Jazz, Ballet ,Power Tap , Hip Hop, Pole Dancing and Cheer (they are the only studio in Southern Utah to have a Sunday Zumba class.), Event/ Theme nights, tons of community performances and they know everyone by name!!
Their most popular class is Zumba with Insane Fit and Hip Hop growing like crazy.
Then you need to head over to PERKS! Espresso & Smoothies. Right. NOW!
Not only do they have a million coffee and coffee-free options and variations of iced, hot, and blended drinks, they have wonderful fruit smoothies you can put in boosters like "Hangover" or "Women's Blend"--and for the daring super-healthy..."Wheat Grass."
In my trip to their Sunset location (they have 3--Sunset, Harmon's Parking Lot, and Rite Aid Parking lot), I enjoyed a delicious "Chunky Monkey" and a Greek Turkey Wrap. The wrap was full of flavor and the ingredients that went inside of it (turkey, lettuce, olives, zippy dressing, wonderfulness...) felt very fresh and very healthy. The Chunky Monkey sent my taste buds spinning and I could hear them calling for "More, More!" Give me anything topped with whipped cream and you pretty much own me...!
The Owner of PERKS!, Lori Hanna, used to work in law enforcement and developed a love for coffee. An opportunity presented itself to start PERKS!, and ever since she has continued to put her heart and soul into quality ingredients and a vibrant customer experience. She realizes that life is busy, so she wanted to create a place where people on the go can still have their coffee or drinks, without sacrificing flavor and quality. The Sunset location still maintains a drive-through for that very purpose, but also offers a cool, "Friends" (tv show) kind of atmosphere if you want to just hang out with your buddies or curl up on one of their cushy seats with a good book. It's very possible you might see Phoebe singing "Smelly Cat" in the corner or Ross and Rachel on the sofa. Possible. But not likely. But you may see Lori, and that's even better!
Stop by PERKS! Espresso & Smoothies. They make YOUR drink YOUR way.
