2010 Lincoln MKT First ImpressionsFor an automotive journalist, nothing quite compares to the experience of stepping into a vehicle, turning the key (or in this case, pressing a button!) and experiencing it for yourself. There is a particular excitement in testing a new model. As such, taking delivery of the Steel Blue Lincoln MKT tester is a unique experience.
Most of the vehicle tests I have conducted have been on a new entrant into the marketplace, but with the chance to see in person first.
The Lincoln MKT is not yet in dealerships, so this is the first opportunity to see it in the metal. And at first glance, the Lincoln MKT doesn’t disappoint.
The MKT Concept was no doubt a high benchmark to live up to in a production vehicle. On the exterior, while the production vehicle loses some of the concept’s simplicity, it hews close to it and retains much of its character. Originally I was disappointed when I first saw the production version. It’s clear though that pictures (particularly the press photography) do not do the car justice. The MKT Concept remains my favorite, but the production MKT made the transition very well.
