Lincoln MKZ - First Drive: Merlot? Crème Brule? It’s not an either or question or a waiter’s inquiry, but color choices for the 2007 Lincoln MKZ. The names are chosen to reflect the sophistication and elegance Lincoln seeks with its newly revised mid-size luxury sedan, which was introduced last year as the Zephyr. The 2007 MKZ sports a larger, more powerful and more refined V6 engine, available all-wheel drive, and a restyled front end. We’re not so sure that changing the name a year after the car was introduced is such a good idea. No matter what the name, however, the improvements that come with the new badge will do more to improve Lincoln’s image than fancy names for its paint colors will.
