2013 Lincoln MKZ starts at $36,800

Lincoln says the redesigned 2013 MKZ sedan gets a base sticker price of $36,800 including the shipping charges.

For that price you'll get a turbo four-cylinder making 240 hp, an adjustable suspension and a push-button shift for the automatic transmission.

Interested in the hybrid version? It carries the same base price--$36,800.

The Lincoln's base price puts it a few thousand above the fully loaded version of its mechanical twin, the Ford Fusion, which stickers at $32,995.
