Maybe 5? That's excluding the guy across the street who owns one.
Seems a stupid way of figuring that out. There's published data that they sold just over 10,000 2013 MKZ from January to the end of May. The January, February, March sales were very low because they hadn't figured out how to put the Lincoln body panels and interior onto a Fusion yet.
With all due respect, I believe the Lincoln Motor company, and Ford are inflating the sales figures hoping the figures will get people out to buy the car.

The one I saw today was very small!
BTW, CAL, I saw this Thunderbird at the weekly car show this evening...

That doesn't jive with the 22 day supply for the MKZ and 11 day supply for the MKZ Hybrid. An ideal supply for a vehicle is about 60 days. Even the Fusion's 40 day supply is considered capacity constrained. Until Flat Rock Assembly comes online in the fall, Ford is going to be limited by the actual number they can sell.
The MKZ and Fusion are doing very well in California and Southern Florida, two markets that Ford has been historically very weak in. Ford has gone from a 6.5% to 8.5% market share in California in the last year, which is up from a low of 4% in 2007.

To paraphrase everyone's favorite chap, Adolf Hitler, "If you're going to lie, lie big."
The new MKZ sales are barely any higher than the old MKZ sales were, excluding the aforementioned first three months when Ford was still trying to attach the Lincoln specific parts to the Ford Fusions coming off the assembly without much success. Why lie about doing mediocre? Especially in light of the other evidence (the new Fusion is selling well, there's not exactly very many MKZs sitting around on Lincoln lots). It seems rather perverse to think that. What, is there a big underground bunker somewhere outside of Detroit with tens of thousands of Lincolns just waiting for the right moment to come out and flood the market?

I am sure you would agree that through out the world, Los Angeles is known as the car capital of the world.
I, as well as many I have talked to, or read comments from, about the mkz,all are saying the same thing, with very few exceptions, no one has seen an MKZ on the road here in the car capital of the world, so I don't see how you could say that here in California, the mkz is doing well.
If they are not on the road, how can they be doing well?
