I love that Copper color.  I really had a hard time choosing between Plat White and Copper.  I think Copper looks so nice when clean but eventually went with Plat White as its easier to keep clean, a bit cooler in the summer, and doesn't show clearcoat swirl marks.  Dealer had both in stock and ready to roll when I bought in January making it even a tougher decision, still debating if I made the right color choice!

My Opinion Only....  The Platinum White sets a luxury car apart from all the other cars on the road.  Even the little white ones and the white pickups.  White adds class to a luxury car.  I do also like Lincoln's Burgundy Velvet, if that is what they call it.  It is gorgeous, but I think it only comes on Aviators or the other SUVs.  Again, My Opinion Only...  others may have different ones.

One noticeable difference between this 2020 with 2000 miles and my 2017 with 33K is the lack of vibration at idle. I don't know if they made improvements since 2017 but in the new one you can't feel the motor at all.

The car looks black in the garage, it's an interesting color and has a nice metallic in it.

A long wheelbase Escalade in white cruised through my neighborhood yesterday, and I have to say it made a statement.

When looking for a replacement car to drive in the winter, AWD was a must, but white was a preference.  I was looking at Buick, Cadillac CTS, Mercedes and Lincoln.  I did not think I was going to find the Lincoln MKZ to be the car to fill all my requirements, but I am totally happy with it.  The Buicks I found had really nice Pearl White, the CTSs were also a Pearl White, and the Mercedes were very close to the Lincoln, but there was something wrong with every one of them.  The Lincolns, most of them, were too high mileage and too far away to just go look.  This Lincoln was local and was perfect mechanically, with really low mileage, as well as having a very favorable CarFax report.  Sometimes, rarely, things happen because they were meant to.

I would have liked the panorama sunroof, but not for 3000 more .... I like those rims, but I like mine better... ?

If I recall, there were/was something else included for the $3K but personally, it was worth every penny. I love the panoramic roof and will be very bummed if it's no longer available for my next car. And please note this is from a guy who also drives a 2-seater convertible and motorcycles.

Totally agree, I had a 3 day test drive (Date Night) back in 2017 with an MKZ that had the Panoramic Roof.  I felt during that time that it was something I would absolutely want for my Z.  This was my first loaner with the Panoramic roof, the others had the regular moonroof.  They sure don't loan out the 3.0 though.

They'd probably come back needing tires ?

I REALLY wanted white.  I was in on Friday looking and working on the deal... but didn't put a deposit down.  On Monday I went in to make the deal... and MY white MKZ was GONE!  And the sad thing is it was bought by a fellow retired fire chief!!  But I do love my Red MKZ - and I an live with that!!IMG_0986.thumb.jpeg.dfdbcfe09ffb3e575b806c280d870d5f.jpeg

In my honest opinion, while the darker colors show the richness, especially when clean, they definitely project all the minor scratches as well as swirl marks not usually noticed on the lighter shade colors. Additionally, if you happen to live where the Sun dominates the daily forecast, the lighter colors can make a difference, especially when choosing an interior color. Just my personal thoughts.  : )

I was looking at the dark red (Magma Red) , saw it the other day and had 2nd thoughts, but I went with the Rhapsody Blue (Dark Blue) ... well , it was the color they had at the time..  ?

Got it with the Capuchino interior

If I could afford it, I would have both...  ?

 

No regrets, well.. wish they had the better product, so I could have the massage seats and better sound... and maybe the pano roof.  ?
