The turbo AWD model weighs 5000 lbs. The 3.7L, FWD model weighs in at 4,499 lbs. A 4 cylinder model would be lighter.

Certainly interesting info to know for us sitting on the sidelines with no interest in owning this Robocop SUV, but it happens to be a Lincoln with the challenges associated with selling anything from that division.

Me too...lol. I wondered wth this thread was about as well.

I would be hesitant to take the advice of a car mag/website that seems to think that the Q7 is a competitor to the other vehicles listed however.

I think he dozed off trying to sift through the 2.0L 4 banger discussion in a huge Lincoln SUV that hopes to have some sales traction in the US market.

But there were a few factors that made the discussion academic at best:

. Lincoln is one sad division amongst premium vehicle brands
. Average gas prices in the US contributes to the point that buyers in this class of vehicle and price range don't car as much about mpg. Fuel costs are only a small part of the premium vehicle buyers' budget.
. Adding a 4 banger to a Lincoln this huge and heavy will do little to improve market acceptance or profitability of this model.

Should stimulants and fresh air be applied he might finish reading.....................zzzzzzzzzzzzzz........ ............

Most people will never remember or even care about the lame MKT (another meaningless alphabet soup name from Lincoln), what were these dopes in Marketing thinking.......................................... ..
