The aggressive new MKZ midsize sedan is a first step as Lincoln tries to rejoin the likes of Audi, Cadillac, Lexus, Infiniti and Volvo as a legitimate prestige brand. The MKZ's interior and exterior styling are totally different from the Ford Fusion with which it shares its architecture and drivetrains. But no automaker has been able to build a first-rate luxury car on the same platform as a mainstream midsize sedan. "It's the bellwether for the whole brand; the first sign to the world that Lincoln is different," Krebs said.
