Eastern Townships, Quebec - So what is a Lincoln, anyway? For a brand whose name dates back to 1917, you’d think that would be an easy question to answer. But after so many years, the identity of a brand can change to the point that what it represents becomes either obscure or inaccurate. Using the resources of a dedicated Lincoln design stud

I didn’t know what to expect from the 2015 Lincoln Navigator. Truth is, I’ve joked about the Navigator a lot. I considered it a sad relic, built on an old truck platform and sucking gas like it’s going out of style. While the overall shape has gently evolved, it remains a huge boxy SUV. Lincoln has made small but noticeable changes along the way

Vehicle Type SUV History/Description Though the Escalade has become the superstar posh-ute of our era, the Lincoln Navigator offers a similarly American take on great big luxury, capability and power. For drivers after generous towing capacity, sophistication, all-weather capability and luxurious space to spare, Navigator was a popular cho

You've got to hand it to the folks at Lincoln: they don't give up. All new for 2015, the Lincoln MKC represents yet another salvo from Ford's luxury brand to establish presence among its more aspirational competitors. We've got one for a month to see what it's all about. The basics are as follows: the MKC is a luxury compact SUV based on the F

It’s been a tough time for the 2015 Lincoln MKC . Actually, it’s been tough for any vehicle this winter, what with the almost continuous “Extreme Cold” warnings from Environment Canada and the unrelenting ice and snow challenging many Canadian drivers this year. On the plus side, the Lincoln has not failed to start, and after a sympathetic 30-s

LOS ANGELES – Everybody loves a great comeback story and seldom have we seen such a tremendous reimagining of an automotive brand than Lincoln in recent years. While the current generation Continental has largely impressed buyers and the media alike, it’s the new Navigator and Nautilus SUVs that have adjusted Lincoln’s trajectory from redundancy

In a world where the badge on the hood is no longer a guarantee that the product parked in your driveway packs more firepower or even nicer leather than your neighbour's more-affordable ride, convincing customers to invest in your brand often comes down to identity. Specifically, what does buying your automobile over that of a competitor broadcast

Not long ago, Lincoln promised four new vehicles in four years. The first in this product rollout was the MKZ sedan – a reskinned Ford Fusion. Luke warm applause. Last year we saw the MKC compact crossover. Based on the Ford Escape, this proved to be a very credible effort. Arriving this summer will be the all-new Lincoln MKX mid-size crossove

NEW YORK – Lincoln has revealed the Aviator, its all-new three-row sport-utility vehicle, at a media event prior to the 2018 New York International Auto Show. Is there really space for three luxury Lincoln SUVs – Navigator, Aviator, and Nautilus – in our market? The new model contains a few firsts for the automaker, including pothole detectio

On Lincoln's minimalist stage at the Detroit auto show, one car graces the middle podium, clad in white and looking bright, freshly freed from the cover of the cloth that hid its features. The Lincoln Continental returns with all due pomp and circumstance. The luxury flagship sedan makes a comeback after almost 15 years out of the manufacturer's

I love the shape of the MKZ - it's sleek, modern and refined, and it stands out in the crowd. Lincoln dresses things up a big with bright adaptive LED headlights flanking the love-it-or-hate-it-grille, as well as a nifty strip of LEDs that make up the tail lights. Meaty 245/40-sized tires come wrapped around the handsome 19-inch rims, and the overa

Lincoln seems to be on a bit of a tear these days. The company, once seemingly on the verge of extinction and playing second (or last) fiddle to Cadillac’s offerings, has found its identity again. It has shown the ability to surprise and delight with new, fresh designs, interesting takes on interior styling and materials, and as a whole, has manage

The Lincoln Continental has a long, storied history, but unfortunately that doesn’t guarantee it a spot on the short list for those looking to buy a luxury saloon. With SUVs heavily favoured over sedans as of late, the 2019 Lincoln Continental finds itself in a segment that has become smaller and more competitive as manufacturers battle for marke

Vehicle Type Big, handsome and generously proportioned, the MKS packed plenty of space for a four- or five-person road trip. Full-size luxury sedan History/Description The MKS’s job was to bring Lincoln’s presence into the luxury car scene, challenging luxury and entry-luxury models like the Volkswagen Passat , Chrysler 300 , A

“Huh. This actually feels like a $100,000 truck….” My co-driver is right: the 2018 Lincoln Navigator does what the previous generation didn’t – it feels like a $100,000 truck. The interior is striking. The seats are space-age, visually and functionally. The instrument cluster graphics put the movie Avatar to shame. Lincoln has in the Navigator a
