Lincoln Mercury today announced pricing for the all-new 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, a mid-size, five- passenger luxury sedan joining Lincoln's lineup in the fall of 2005. The 2006 Zephyr features a starting manufacturers suggested retail price (MSRP) of $29,995 and comes loaded with a number of premium standard features.
With the all-new 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, Lincoln will introduce an entirely new generation of consumers to the qualities that have made Lincoln a classic American luxury marque for more than 70 years. Zephyr has a bold and distinctive exterior design -- a rich, inviting interior with high-quality materials and a confident, luxurious driving character.
"The new Zephyr is all about accessible luxury," says Al Giombetti, Lincoln Mercury president. "The Zephyr makes the Lincoln brand more relevant to a new generation of younger customers who are ready to move to a luxury vehicle."
Zephyr is designed to deliver a comfortable ride and excellent driver response. Its suspension is designed to absorb more of the harshness of daily driving before it can reach the passenger compartment. Standard 17-inch tires with a wide P225/50 profile, power rack-and-pinion steering, a fully independent suspension, thicker front door glass and advanced door seals have been engineered and tuned with an emphasis on comfort, quietness and confident handling.
In addition to its attainable price, Zephyr features a full complement of standard premium equipment along with only six options, making the Zephyr easy to order for customers and dealers.
Major standard equipment includes a 221 horsepower 3.0L DOHC 24-valve V-6 engine with 6-speed automatic transmission; 17-inch machined aluminum wheels; anti-lock braking (ABS); traction assist; side air bags and side air curtains; a luxurious and stylish interior featuring dark ebony or light maple wood, leather and satin nickel trim; AM/FM stereo with six-disc CD/MP3 player with six speakers; intermittent speed-sensitive windshield wipers; dual-zone climate control; driver-memory leather seating surfaces; front center console with adjustable armrest; universal garage door opener; power adjustable, driver-memory heated exterior mirrors with puddle lamps; tilt and telescoping steering wheel with redundant audio and climate controls; heated, 10-way power driver and passenger seats with power lumbar and recline; new projector-beam headlamps and LED taillights; and rear-seat reading lights.
The six available options include:
* Industry-exclusive THX II-Certified® audio system featuring 14 speakers -- ten primary speakers deliver surround sound; two front and rear center-channel speakers add acoustical depth; and two subwoofers augmented by power amplifiers deliver deep, rich bass -- and a quick-loading six-disc player compatible with normal audio, MP3 compressed or text format CDs ($995).
* DVD-based navigation system on a single disc that features a sharp, 6.5-inch-wide screen and text-to-speech technology for travel directions aloud in English, Spanish or French. Includes THX II-Certified® audio system as detailed above ($2,495).
* High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps designed to produce more light, last longer and use less energy than typical incandescent headlamps ($495).
* 17-inch 8-spoke chrome wheels ($895).
* Perforated premium leather cooled front seats ($495).
* Power moonroof ($1,200).
The MSRP of a fully-loaded Zephyr featuring all available options is $35,575. All prices include destination and delivery.
The 2006 Lincoln Zephyr is one of the five new products Lincoln will introduce over four years and is part of the much larger transformation of the Lincoln showroom. "We're beginning a renaissance at Lincoln, and it starts with the Mark LT and Zephyr this year," says Giombetti.
Following this year's release of the Lincoln Mark LT luxury pickup and the new Lincoln Zephyr, the Lincoln Aviator will be introduced. Soon thereafter, two additional sedans will join the lineup. "With all the new products, we feel confident in our ability to grow Lincoln Mercury sales from 300,000 annually to 500,000 by the end of the decade," adds Giombetti.

Gorgeous car!!!
And the V8 will probably be an option in a year or so. Remember the Lincoln LS's only had a six to begin with then the 3.9 V8 was offered shortly there after.
It reminds me a lot of the Mark VIII. Very attractive

i woulda thought a v8 would be a bit much for a car like this. (well, you know what i mean... it was pretty awesome when they put the cammer in the focus...) This car slots below the LS, its smaller (i think anyways). The other two sedans they mentioned are gonna be an LS replacement and a town car replacement, possibly called continental, and both are supposed to be built on modified, AWD 500 platforms. check this thread for more info: http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index.php?showtopic=15931
anyways, i think if it gets the duratec 35 with 260hp or whatever that things supposed to put out, that'd probably be pretty decent. it looks pretty nice, especially the interior, but i really have to see it in another colour. this beige, i don't like it.
