Lincoln Launches Ecoboost Town Car

Sorry Panther fans, this is not the Town Car you are looking for. We are, of course, talking about the MKT Town Car, the apostate unibody crossover Town Car-in-name-only that is as popular with Panther fans as Salman Rushdie is with Iranian mullahs. The two-box Townie will be available with Ford's 2.0L 4-cylinder Ecoboost and all-wheel drive. Civilian versions of the MKT will not be getting this motor, so the only way to get this configuration will be if you're a livery car driver, or willing to buy a used black car. At $49,845, the EcoBoost model will cost $1,100 less than the 3.7 V6 model. Fuel economy is rated at 20 mpg city/28 highway/23 combined, versus 17/24/29 on the V6. Power is rated at 235 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque versus 300/275 for the V6. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
