Lincoln Zephyr (CD378). 2006 (prod. n/a). 4-door sedan. F/F, 2967 cm³ (V6 DOHC). Single-year entry for revived Lincoln Zephyr name, before car renamed to MKZ for 2007 (even the renaming was botched, with Lincoln staff calling it ‘Mark Z’ before saying the letters). Basically a glorified Mazda Atenza (GG), on that car’s platform, and too similar to Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan duo. Good equipment levels but best thought of as a Mercury with all the trimmings and the 3·0-litre Duratec V6.

Manufacturing location: Hermosillo, Sonora, México

Marque: Lincoln | Model: Lincoln Zephyr | Predecessor: Lincoln LS | Successor: Lincoln MKZ (CD378)
