moeferg Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 How close is the guard to the smoked Quartz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertlane Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 How close is the guard to the smoked Quartz? Not even close. Smoked has more blue share hues in it from what I can see. I was going to go by Ford WHQ where they have them all, but found these at a dealer a few minutes from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveB_TX Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Brrrrr! My Z will never see snow. Well, it can see it out the garage door covering the Explorer, but that's as close as it will ever come while I own it! :) Oh, and as to this posts subject matter... I prefer the Luxe to the Guard. I guess I like lighter colored cars due to the easier-to-see factor. Not that I am biased or anything. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I want the luxe but not the snow :0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NV Rick Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I want the luxe but not the snow :0 I like looking at the snow at the top of the mountains surrounding the valley I live in. The only time we had measurable snow at our house was on March 9, 2010 (and I have pictures to prove it!). A few days ago, chains or all wheel drive with snow tires were required to drive the pass from Pahrump to Las Vegas. Luckily the road was open the next day when we had to take our short-legged idiot to LV for grooming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was living in Vegas at that time and was Bootlegger on the Blvd. There were two times that we tried to go from Vegas to L.A., but I-15 was totally closed at either Barstow or Baker due to snow/ice. I did like looking at the snow capped mountains almost every day too. On the other side, I like the winter for about 1.5 months and after that, no way! It makes me want to move back to Florida sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcatgoal Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Well I decided not to buy an MKZ. The only Lincoln dealership that I experienced that actually earned my business was 420 miles away. The rest were no better than a corner used car lot in treatment, so I said forget it. Not to mention, the closest Lincoln dealership for service is also a dealership that had to rebuilt my Fiesta transmission twice, did it wrong twice, and I had to get the transmission replaced at another dealer and was the one that bait-and-switched me on the price of the MKZ. No wonder their Yelp rating is 2-stars! So I have no intention of going there ever again. The nearest dealer for services is a Ford/Subaru dealership is the one that replaced the transmission, finally fixing my Fiesta, but is still very inconvenient (opposite way from home to work) and doesn't have loaner cars. Great car, crappy dealers in my South Atlanta/Atlanta-in-general area in my experience. Best to all of you. I'm just going to do what I should have done before: save up for the rest of the year, then get a Tesla. No more ridiculous, money grubbing, lying dealership experiences and it's range meets my needs 100% except for a drive from Atlanta to Chicago (no superchargers past Chatanooga) but there are Level III and Level II chargers, it just will take a bit longer, which I'm find with as I stop anyway. Again, such a great looking car, but just I can't give dealers my money here... :( Edited March 2, 2015 by wildcatgoal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincoln is working hard to revamp that dealer network and it's going to take a lot of time. Was your local Lincoln dealer a former Lincoln-Mercury dealer? Good luck on the Tesla - they are really cool cars and high rated too. Come back and let us know what you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
