Give me four minutes and we'll give you the scoop.

 

The 2010 Lincoln MKT EcoBoost is something of a unique car.

 

It's as Luxurious as a---well---as a Lincoln and as fast as a Mustang---if a Mustang came with all wheel drive.

 

On the Luxury side the MKT comes with about every modern convenience including adaptive headlamps and cruise control, self parking, blind spot indicator, and duel sunroofs to name just a few.

 

It also comes with a 255 HP V-6 twin turbo that moves it from 0-60 in about 6 seconds. To put that another way that's as fast as the 385 HP Jaguar I tested last week.

 

So does all of this luxury work in harmony with the hidden hot rod persona.

 

Watch the video review and find out.
