Luxury is All in the Details

Don’t you love being spoiled? I’m talking about that feeling you get when someone takes care of something to make life easier for you. Your sweetheart has a roaring fire going in the fireplace when you get home on a cold and rainy day. Or someone brings your coffee to you – just the way you like it.

No Gas Cap Required!

Lincoln has turned spoiling into an art with many little touches. Have you heard about the Easy Fuel Capless Filler System on the New 2009 Lincoln MKS? No fumbling with the cap or worrying that you’ll leave it behind at the gas station. When you remove the nozzle, the system seals shut automatically. Now gas caps are not a major daily worry, but isn’t it nice that they took the time to make your life that much easier?

Or what about the SecuriCode Keypad? I love being able to leave everything in the car and go running or something without carrying a key. Or your child wants to get something out of the car. You no longer have to find your key, remind the child NOT to lock it in the car and collect it back again.

Adaptive HID Headlamps can turn your high beams on and off automatically depending on whether there’s another car coming towards you. Again, turning the high beams on and off isn’t terribly taxing, but isn’t it nice to have it taken care of for you?

The lavish extras don’t stop outside the car. Push-button start allows you to start the car with a push of a button as long as the key fob is anywhere in the car (like at the bottom of your purse?). Very nice.

Sync allows you to operate your MP3 player and Blue-Tooth enabled phone with voice commands. I realize that this is actually a safety feature to keep your attention on the road, but to me it seems like just one more way that Lincoln is making life easier.

I know that most people buy a Lincoln MKS because it drives so smoothly and has all the latest safety features, but once you’ve got it, you’ll sigh every time one of these luxurious little extras does something for you.
