i don't like the view out the rear of the ES350 myself. it's too narrow and hard to see out of.
is the MKZ one of the triplets or is it the new one?

i was going to go test drive one... you like it? it seems nice, but adding those packages jacks the price up very quickly.

Lincoln seems to be changing all their names from words to MK-something. I guess it's referencing Lincoln's past with all the Mark-# cars. The MKZ *is* the zephyr.
It also might help people to separate their new cars from the grandparent / taxi cab / mafia stereotype of their 80s and 90s and 00s Continentals and Town Cars.

I love the looks of the ES350 (haven't driven one) but am reluctant to buy one because of the persistant 6 speed transmission problems that plague ES350 and the V6 Camry (I think the 08 Avalon also has this transmission). If the transmission failure rate and also flare up between gear changes had been corrected, I would be driving one today (Consumer reports dropped the Camry from it's "automatic" recommended list because of the V6 Camry transmission issues). Too bad...

Yeh, they switched to the MKZ nameplate when the 3.5L came out in place of the old 3.0L duratec.
It is just a gussied up Fusion/Milan.

They have been resolved, but rumors still loom so Consumer Reports and customers still get scared. We were scared of it when we bought it, but the dealer reassured us it was a problem with the very first batches of the car and has since been resolved.
I don't think you will see any issues if you are buying it now (unless it is used). We got ours May 2007
