2007 Lincoln MKZ Video Transcript
>> Good looking up front, not so much in the back but some good technology inside, including Gaud's Audio System. Let's check out the '07 MKZ from Lincoln. ^M00:00:12 [ Music ] ^M00:00:20 Here is the star of the show. Our vehicle is hotted up with the GPS DVD navigation system, which by default, includes a THX2 certified sound system. And while I can't really prove it to you in a webcast like this or on a video, I can assure you it's one of the best sounding audio systems in a car I've ever heard, at any price. The system of course begins with navigation. Here's the map quality. It's very good, it's not class leading. There are better looking maps out there. We find the interface on this one is pretty easy to deal with. To enter a destination you get to the touch screen here, you've got some really big easy to address buttons, you have an ABC keyboard; we've seen this kind of rig before. But the touch screen, the size of the buttons and the number of very obvious buttons for doing just about anything on this vehicle make it pretty easy to navigate. Once you get ready for some entertainment, we get over here to our media selection. You see we have AM, FM, CD that is a six disc in dash changer. SR is Sirius Radio that is available as an al a carte option on this car. Line in, of course, refers to the auxiliary jack, which lives down here. Rather inconveniently on the front wall of the console but it's not bad. Once you get your patch cord in there then that hangs out and that becomes more convenient. Here's what's missing though. No true iPod adaptor, just the ox jack; the dumb way to go. No Bluetooth hands-free of any kind; that's a big omission in a car like this. No rearview camera or back up distance sensors, which would be nice because you've got a real high lift on the back there. You feel like you just can't see a thing past that rear package tray, so I'd like to see some kind of detection or rearview camera available on this vehicle. No keyless start, which is kind of becoming sort of standard on premium vehicles. You're going to be putting the key in here all the time. Our gear shift here in the console indicates the only transmission available a six speed automatic, you just stick it in drive or low and get to where you're going. Power comes from a three point five liter V-6, four valve per cylinder coil on plug technology, all the usual fuel injection valve timing tricks, bottom line is about two hundred and sixty horsepower, about two hundred and forty-nine foot pounds are coming out of that mill. Okay let's price our MKZ now ours is an all wheel drive version, there's also a tail dragger, but the all wheel is thirty-one one seventy-five base. Then we add some options. The big Kahuna is the DVD Nav Plus THX Sound for twenty-five hundred dollars or just THX for a thousand, Sirius two hundred dollars more, five hundred bucks for cooled seats and twelve hundred dollars for the power moon roof. ^M00:02:54 [ Music ]

Although the 2007 Mazda Mazdaspeed Mazda3 looks good and seems like a lot of fun at first, a few problems start to reveal themselves. While we never tire of good handling, a good stereo would also be nice.

Death By Stereo "Desperation Train"
Balancing chaos and consciousness is no easy feat, and few bands will ever do it as well as Death By Stereo has on the astonishing new disc Death For Life. Brutal and brutally honest, the set's eleven songs come swinging at you like a bag of bricks as they embrace the extremities of hardcore and the fluid riffs of metal. "We fought it out and found out what we want to be," says vocalist Efrem Schulz. "We're still here, still fighting, still pissed and not pulling any punches. And while we may be into some pissed off music -- at the same time we want to party. We also love Van Halen. So why not let out all of this aggression and have a blast doing it? So many people are so uptight about mixing the two ideas." With that in mind, there is still no way to prepare for "Binge/Purge," a musical riot of a tune peppered with touches of melody and the tenacious, expressive guitar lines of Death By Stereo's Dan Palmer and Tito. "It's a song that deals with the world and all the bullshit that is constantly shoved down our throats," says Schulz. "Everyone feeds off of this violence, apathy and ignorance. We want to purge it all out." Crafted with the help of Avenged Sevenfold vets The Factory (the production duo of Fred Archambault and Bruce MacFarlane), Death For Life marks a new sound and dynamic for Death By Stereo. "Working with Fred and Bruce was the best thing that could have happened to us," Efrem explains. "They really cracked the whip and made us play better than we ever have."

2007 Lincoln MKZ Review
The good: The THX-certified audio system in the 2007 Lincoln MKZ is the best car stereo going. If you want to do more than just listen to music, the navigation system handles multiple destinations very well, while the all-wheel drive keeps the car on track.
The bad: Throttle response is disturbingly laggy, making the car unsuitable for fast cornering. Notable omissions are a manual gear selection mode for the six-speed automatic and a Bluetooth hands-free option.
The bottom line: We found quite a bit to like about the 2007 Lincoln MKZ, and only a few real problems. But the stereo is really what this car is all about. You will enjoy driving anywhere in it as long as you have some good CDs.
