By Benjamin Cyr - (2006-06-03)

This rather conservative car maker has many changes in its 2007 line up, including the all new MKX. You heard right, a crossover vehicle at Lincoln! Who would of predicted such a surprise? I have to admit I find this is rather surprising. Lincoln must have more than nine lives…

Lincoln MKX 2007

By Benjamin Cyr

We didn’t like :

 

  • Unfortunately, like most North American products, the resale value will be less than its Japanese competitors;
  • Even though it’s well equipped, the price is the MKX remains high. The Ford Edge with its similar conception will sell for quite less.;
  • The front seats are comfortable but could offer more lateral and leg support. It’s never fun when you actually have to hold on to the steering wheel in tight corners;
  • Some commands found on the front panel are too small. The driver has to pay special attention and thus not look at the road in the meantime;
  • The curb weight of the MKX is higher than the segment’s average. Undoubtedly, its fuel consumption will also be higher. The other downside of such a weight is the tendency for under steering found in the MKX.

Who would of thought of seeing Lincoln reborn from its ashes like that? Yes, I am exaggerating a bit. But, in my opinion Lincoln was to suffer the same faith as Oldsmobile, which disappeared two years ago. Is this a turn around “à la » Cadillac? Time will time but sometimes, late is better than never!
