Those look nice.
They are also AWD if I remember correctly.
I seem to remember also that Motor Trend gave them a decent write up.
Good luck with it (to your mom).

I'm pretty sure her's is FWD...but yes, you can get them with AWD. I didn't ask, but I'm assuming it is FWD.

I think they are pretty interesting moves for Mercury but i think from the side it looks like a Caddy CTS, the front a buick/phaeton and the inside is boring, but it is nice and simple....elegant.

Sorry i just think the Ford group is making a lot of drastic design changes to its poor mercury line... But yea if it doesnt say AWD on the back then its FWD.

Congrats on another sweet ride dude!

and to think the Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car are even bigger.

Personally, I'd pick it's corporate twin, the Ford Fusion because it has less chrome, but the MKZ seemed like a nice car when I played with one at the Auto Show last month.
