Note:
• Vehicle speed may vary momentarily when driving up and down a
steep hill.

may want to apply the brakes to reduce the speed.

Looks
Whether it's the hearse-like black, the eggplant-purple or the dark red one I
ogle at my local Lincoln dealership whenever I drive by, I think the MKT is a
breathtaking design.
