Completing three of Ford’s improved mid-size sedans this week at the LA Auto Show is the new Lincoln MKZ, which like its predecessor Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan siblings has gotten a new face, revised insides, and more standard attributes for the 2010.

The introduction of a new sports variation with unique performance suspension tuning is the chief highlight, plus more rigid springs and bigger stabilizing bars, 18 inches ‘Euroflange’ shined wheels, darkened grille and headlamps, and an inside with accented piping.

Segment-restricted attributes have also been added to the car, among these are a blind spot monitoring system and cross traffic reverse sensors. The blind spot system utilizes dual multiple-beam radar modules located behind the rear fenders. Indicator lights in the outside rear-view mirror on both sides of the vehicle caution the driver when a car come into the defined blind-spot zone, extending from the side mirror to 10 feet behind the vehicle and 10 feet away from the vehicle.
