Test Drives2015 Lincoln MKC: Hail Mary Compact Crossover Scores Big4.0/5
The 2015 Lincoln MKC is the first of its breed for the premium nameplate: a compact crossover that goes where Cadillac isn't, avoiding its historical cross-town rival to instead focus on more natural competitors from Japan like Lexus and Acura.

Test Drives2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid: Best Electric Foot Forward4.5/5
The 2013 Lincoln MKZ is perhaps the most important car that the premium brand has released in the past decade.
