2008 LINCOLN MKX - RIGHT-SIZED LUXURY CROSSOVER

BY MAC DEMERE OF AUTOMEDIA.COM

Many desire the capability and image of a luxury sport utility vehicle, but dislike the reduced maneuverability and fuel economy of a full-size SUV. Even mid-size SUVs have inflated to the point that they're more than a tight fit in the average garage or mall parking space and burn fuel at a prodigious pace. For those who don't tote a lot of people or tow extra-heavy trailers, these are too much vehicle. Instead, they need a smaller vehicle that doesn't sacrifice style, comfort, room for stuff, or the ability to haul. That's why Lincoln's first crossover, the Lincoln MKX, is just right for many.

2008 LINCOLN MKZ: LUXURY LINCOLN BOASTS MULTIPLE AWARDS

BY GARY WITZENBURG OF AUTOMEDIA.COM

Introduced in 2005 as the '06 Lincoln Zephyr, then rebadged for 2007 to comply with Lincoln's current model-naming scheme, the Lincoln MKZ has been an unqualified success. It has won multiple awards for its engine, quality and features, has drawn new customers to Lincoln Mercury showrooms and has led a strong resurgence of the Lincoln luxury brand with consistent sales growth and its winning combination of American design, premium interior accommodations and innovative (and exclusive) features at a surprisingly affordable price.

FACE VALUE: 2008 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR

BY DAN LYONS OF AUTOMEDIA.COM

For years, Lincoln's Navigator was a high-end SUV with a low-key profile. The big Lincoln quietly made friends in the luxury ute segment, with a combination of class, comfort and quality. The contrast with cross-town rival Cadillac was extreme: the Lincoln was as understated as the Escalade was extroverted. So, when the latest generation Navigator rolled out, wearing a front clip every bit as bold as Escalade's, its look intended to put some separation between Lincoln's traditional image, and the rolling reality of today's marketplace.

2008 LINCOLN MARK LT: LUXURY TRUCK EXEMPLIFIED

BY GARY WITZENBURG OF AUTOMEDIA.COM

Lincoln's second, and far better, execution of its luxo-SUV/pickup concept, the Mark LT, debuted in 2005 as a 2006 model. Essentially the offspring of a loving marriage between the Lincoln Navigator SUV and a Ford F-150 Crew Cab, it offers a unique blend of Lincoln luxury with real pickup functionality and, with both 4x2 and 4x4 versions available, delivers outstanding payload and towing capacity. Its elegant interior provides room for five adults in premium leather-trimmed front captain's chairs and a three-across 60/40 split rear seat, and an available 6.5-foot cargo bed adds 10 cu. ft. of capacity over the standard 5.5-foot bed.

BY GARY WITZENBURG OF AUTOMEDIA.COM

Lincoln has been making a major comeback in sales, market share and image thanks to such excellent new products as the MKZ "entry luxury" sedan, the Lincoln MKX crossover and the soon-to-arrive, larger MKS sedan. But fans of traditional American luxury cars no doubt rejoice that Lincoln's iconic full-size, full-frame Town Car still graces Lincoln Mercury showrooms.
