New Lincoln Cars

The all-new 2010 Lincoln MKT three-row crossover - arriving in dealerships now - is raising the bar not only on luxury, but also on safety after earning a "Top Safety Pick" rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). To earn this designation, a vehicle must receive a rating of "good" in offset frontal-, side- and rear-impact evaluations and offer electronic stability control. The new MKT offers an array of standard crash-protection, crash-avoidance and driver-awareness features, and further solidifies Ford Motor Company's industry-leading number of Top Safety Picks.

You're probably thinking that we don't need yet another big SUV crowding our streets, and you're arguably right. But the new MKT might not be a bad idea, since it could convince luxury SUV buyers that a Navigator is no longer required. Ford probably doesn't want this to happen, as they would rather see the MKT steal sales away from its rivals, and I would think the same. But it could happen.
