I wouldn't be so quick in dismissing it. First, unlike most current Lincolns, the MKT will have its own sheetmetal. So unlike most Lincolns, it won't actually look like the Ford it is based on. That, and Lincolns sales are up some 9% over last year. ( The Town Car is now virtually exclusive to fleet now. But they are included in the sales totals nonetheless.) Most of its competition is down. This has more to do with the new product being thrown at Lincoln. 4 new models between 2006 and 2008. The Zephyr in 2006,changed to MKZ in 2007. The MKX, the MKS coming this summer, then the MKT that we will see tonight.
