I am getting a lot of mixed feelings about the new face of the Lincoln MKZ, just want to see how you guys felt about it.

If you were given a choice for the 2013 MKZ would you keep the previous look or go with the new Phoenix inspired look?

Which one would you guys choose?

Forsure the new 2013 front looks more modern and stylish. You could gauge the time of both when you look at them. I find the older cars in general have a bolder look to them. Where as in the new ones now have a smaller headlight and smoother grille.

I actually like the new look too. It took sometime for it to kick in but the 2010-2012 look is dated.

My question though is where is the turning signal markers on the front? the headlight is kind of small to have them. From the looks of it the fog lights maybe it.

The new look is unlike anything else and when this happens it takes some time to adjust to.

As for the design, I love how they tied the grille into the whole front fascia by having the outer most trim go all the way to the headlight wrapping around it and back. Not many car makers have done that

It is quite unique what they did I can't recall any other manufacturer out there that tied in each individual grille with the headlight.

Can't go back. The new design is 2013 while the old one is so 2000s.

This. I actually do prefer the older look with the more square designs. But the new 2013 MKZ is following the current trend with modern cars where everything flows and is more curved. They both look very nice IMO.

These new designs take some getting used to but they are well thought out detailed designs if you really look at them. keep in mind Lincoln used their very own design house for the MKZ, which says enough about the work that went into designing the MKZ.

Another plus is that the MKZ doesn't look like anything else on the road, a lot of car makers have a hard time making their cars look different from everything else.

Come on the older MKZ looks nice but to come think of it that look is dated. If you were to ask any body it's pretty obvious which one is newer. It took me sometime but until this post when you had them together I actually like the new MKZ front better.

You know what!? If you look at the elder MKZ I can see the ford Fusion in it. Obviously the front is different but the rest of it... all ford fusion with just a facelift....
