The 2013 Lincoln MKZ is perhaps the most important car that the premium brand has released in the past decade. With public interest in Lincoln falling across the board, and with so few models available that are actually distinguishable from the Ford vehicles with which they share their platforms, the …

As automobile journalists, we get the chance to drive almost everything on the road. After a few years, going from a smart to a Porsche or from a Ford F150 to a Toyota Corolla loses its lustre. However, when I recently got behind the wheel of a Lincoln Navigator, I …

A few years back, after spending a week aboard the then-new, incredibly impressive, and beautifully named Zephyr sedan, I made the mistake of favourably comparing it to the Lexus IS. I say mistake, not because the car wasn't up to the task, but because in doing so I earned myself …
