It doesn't take many cars to beat the best sales of the Lincoln since 2007 when little were sold then. This is just something Ford probably wants to brag about.

DEARBORN – Ford Motor Company U.S. sales totaled 187,000 vehicles
in November, down 2 percent from a year ago.
The overall sales decline was anticipated, as Ford manages its inventory levels as vehicle availability starts growing for the all-new Ford Mustang, F-150 and Transit models.
“Our all-new Mustang is moving quickly off dealer lots,” said John Felice, Ford vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service. “Mustang had its best November sales in eight years and is turning in just eight days on dealer lots, on average. Escape saw record sales for November, while Lincoln sales continue gaining momentum, with the brand posting its best sales since 2007.”
Escape sales increased 22 percent versus last year with 25,528 vehicles sold, representing the vehicle’s best-ever November performance. Explorer sales of 14,949 vehicles marks a 13 percent increase, making this Explorer’s best November performance since 2004.
Mustang surpassed the 8,000-vehicle mark in November, with 8,728 cars sold. Mustang’s largest markets, Texas and California, saw retail sales increases of 46 percent and 76 percent, respectively.
Lincoln sales of 8,113 vehicles provided a 21 percent gain and the brand’s best November in seven years. Lincoln MKC sales represent its second month above the 2,000 vehicle mark, with 2,152 vehicles sold as it continues to strengthen the brand overall. The new Navigator was up 88 percent with sales of 1,433 vehicles, representing Navigator’s best November sales since 2007.

Not mine.
From my guesses not many either as there aren't many 14's even left on the lots.
You do understand that the MKC is built on the same line as the Escape, right??
You do understand that the Escape sells in the 20-25K a month range, right???
Where exactly do you get the extra production for the MKC?? Cut Escape production??
I'm sure that the 15 day turn rate applies to Lincoln product after they have sat on the lot for 6 months or more, unlike a GM product, where the turn rate starts on the day the first piece of metal hits the body shop. Turn rate is exactly that, turn rate. If you don't like it, too bad. Hint, rows upon rows of MKC's probably are not the same ones month after month. If you have that many, you probably sell that many, like my Lincoln dealership does.
Why exactly am I talking to you?? We all know where your passions lie, and which manufacturer you think is God. I guess I just needed some typing practice.
