Lincoln MKC Concept

An Escape-based Lincoln crossover? Sounds like it would be a total snooze, right? Could be a lot worse. The 2.0L Ecoboost is under the hood and it looks fairly production-ready.

    Saw elsewhere that this thing isn't projected to hit showrooms until 2016. Three years away? So, what, it'll be a year and a half behind the vehicles it benchmarks by the time it goes on sale?

      Hits the showrooms this fall as a 2014. This "concept" is about 98% production.

    Seems like one part Evoque, one part Q5, and one part Infiniti EX, ahem, Infiniti QX50, in the styling. It's a good segment for Lincoln to be in, and if they sell some of these, maybe we can get a flagship.

  • ToolGuy I was challenged by Tim's incisive opinion, but thankfully Jeff's multiple vanilla truisms have set me straight. Or something. 😉
  • ChristianWimmer The body kit modifications ruined it for me.
  • ToolGuy "I have my stance -- I won't prejudice the commentariat by sharing it."• Like Tim, I have my opinion and it is perfect and above reproach (as long as I keep it to myself). I would hate to share it with the world and risk having someone critique it. LOL.
  • SCE to AUX Sure, give them everything they want, and more. Let them decide how long they keep their jobs and their plant, until both go away.
  • SCE to AUX Range only matters if you need more of it - just like towing capacity in trucks.I have a short-range EV and still manage to put 1000 miles/month on it, because the car is perfectly suited to my use case.There is no such thing as one-size-fits all with vehicles.
