Top 10 Geriatric Vehicles

6. Lincoln MKS

In the absence of a proper flagship model the MKS is Lincoln’s defacto range-topper. This big-boned four-door disappoints on so many levels we’ve lost count, but that’s not surprising since it’s little more than a poorly disguised Ford Taurus, though to be fair it’s not quite as awful. Oh, it’s plenty bad, but it’s somehow a whisker less revolting than its Blue Oval brother.

Lincoln is desperately trying to shed its geriatric image and products like the MKZ sedan and new MKC crossover might have a chance at pushing their average buyer’s age down to something younger than dead. But with front-wheel-drive, dowdy styling and well-aged “brand cachet” the MKS has unshakable elder appeal. Fortunately it’s not called the Continental, that’d be an insult to the beautiful vehicles that wore that name in decades past.
