Sure, I'm predisposed to love the 2010 Lincoln MKT for the reasons I stated already: third-row seat, safety, Eco-Boost™, and luxury. It caught my eye in Chicago, so I already had favorable first impressions.
But what about my family? Here is what they said during our first day with what my sons later dubbed, "The very cool new car:"
My Husband:
"It is a tank!"
"Good thing it has parallel-park assist (Ford calls it "Active Park Assist") because it is a tank..."
My Husband is not a car-guy, but seemed happy with it during his brief once-over: "This is niiiice." He was particularly happy with 3rd row seats and noticed AC adapter in the back seat immediately. (Yes, this is important for long trips - to plug in the boys' DS systems and so forth.)
When I told him about the push-button start, he remarked "Yeah, I think they're all going that direction now." (He has a Prius.)
The Cat:
"This is so cool"
"Let's trade in the van"
"The windows go down ALL THE WAY" (In the van, they only go mid-way)
"I like it when you back up and we can see all the stuff behind us!"
Spliggle:
"This is super-awesome."
"It is so beautiful!"
He found the pull-up shade: "this is cool!"
"You can just go to the bank to order more money so we can get this!"
"Can we just give back the van and keep this one, please?"
"I'm going to miss this beautiful sparkley car when they come take it away." (pout.)
