Finally was able to catch the color of my Lincoln MKZ in the sun (Amethyst). My photography skills are horrible, as well as trying to use my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone camera (not ideal)... But after some quick touch-ups from Snapseed, I think it gives a decent idea of what it looks like on a sunny day. Most other times, it looks black. The color was initially a surprise for me when I went to buy the car, as the dealer had it listed online as black... Didn't think I was going to like it, but it has since become one of my favorite features of the car. On sunny days, the car looks amazing.... The blackish purple tint, with multi-color flaking (mainly gold, blue, and red), covered in a nice gloss, really makes the color jump out at you. At night and on gloomy days, it looks black (which is more my taste anyway). Unfortunately the color is horrible for keeping clean... It shows dust, dirt, and water spots constantly. I find myself wiping the car down every few days to keep it clean. It also helps that I am a Clean-Freak member at our local PDQ. Awesome deal for people like me who hate having a dirty car. It includes unlimited full-service washes - which includes interior vacuum and wipe down, exterior wash, and a clean soft-towel wipe down. Unlimited monthly cleaning, $40... Daily MKZ happiness, priceless :)

New to the forum and the world of the Lincoln MKZ... Been driving mine for about three weeks now, and absolutely love it! . Came with right under 109,000 miles and the original owner took excellent care of it, inside and out. The color (Amethyst) really made the car jump out to me on the lot. Runs like a champ, but needs a new A/C Compressor. Did a couple of 0-60 tests (with TC on and off), and have some vids that I will post later on my youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/intoweapons)... Very impressed with the pick-up! Gas mileage is as expected (18 city/21 hwy), but haven't really tested it fully. Below are few pics, but have all of them on my facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1105105986182024.1073741843.569411159751512&type=1). Looking forward to doing a few mods and would appreciate any suggestions or must-do's. Thanks for checking it out!
