Lincoln MKX
We’ll forgive you for not believing us, but there are signs of life at Lincoln. First came the MKT, which, no matter your opinion on the boat-tailed exterior styling, proved that the brand could do a decent interior. Next was the MKZ hybrid, which builds on its roots as the excellent gas/electric Fusion with a healthy dose of value and actual luxury. Now there’s the heavily revised 2011 MKX, a crossover that takes many of those vehicles’ best attributes and stirs in bleeding-edge technology. (Yes, these are all still clearly rebadged Fords, but note that we said signs of life. We’ll have to wait until the next generation of Lincoln products, which we’re told are going to be more distinct, to see if the brand will ever fully regain its long-lost mojo. Baby steps.)
