This includes a supercharged V-6 rather than a V-8, and Cars.com reviewer Joe Wiesenfelder explains how Audi even improves the S4’s mileage and lowers its cost while not giving up anything when it comes to performance.

Dads Weigh In on Lincoln MKT's Looks

It’s not often I get in a new test car and fall in love with it. I take that back — it’s not often I get a non-sports car/sedan and fall in love with it. As a car reviewer, it does happen, and there are usually good reasons for it. Such was the case with the 2010 Lincoln MKT. I liked the looks, roominess, comfortable seats, tech features, huge sunroof, ease of loading the kids and cargo, and the EcoBoost engine. I just dug it. My full review can be found here.

However, I wondered if other dads shopping for a family crossover or luxury SUV would feel the same way about it. Would the MKT’s looks win them over or drive them away? For the most part, it was a one-sided conversation and I was on the losing end.
