  • 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid

    Whether you’re fan of its styling or not, the people behind the 2013 Lincoln MKZ deserve a lot of credit. The sedan, in its hybrid form, has just had its gas mileage rated by the EPA at 45 mpg across the board--city, highway and combined. This puts it ahead of most rivals in the mid-size luxury sedan segment, including the Lexus ES 300h (40/39 mpg city/highway), as well as the Infiniti M35h (27/32 mpg) and BMW ActiveHybrid 3 (25/33 mpg), though it should be noted the latter two offer significantly more performance. But hybrids aren’t the only alternative-powered vehicles the...

  • 2013 Lincoln MKT

    Lincoln’s Town Car sedan, long the favorite choice of car services and limo companies across the United States, has been put to pasture. Filling its shoes is the 2013 Lincoln MKT Town Car, a crossover-ish pseudo-wagon that comes in either front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive variants. Consumers can buy the MKT with either a 3.7-liter V-6, rated at 268 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque, or with the optional 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6, which produces 355 horsepower and 350 pound feet of torque. With the base engine in front-wheel drive, the EPA says to expect 17 mpg city and 24 mpg...

  • 2013 Lincoln MKZ

    Ford has a big challenge ahead with Lincoln--somehow, it has to find a way to reboot a brand that's been dulled by a decade or so of neglect. While Ford lavished attention--and cash--on its former luxury brands including Jaguar, Land Rover, Aston Martin, and Volvo, it's now left with Lincoln to rediscover premium products, and how to keep those premium buyers in the fold. We took a look at the first fully fledged sedan under Lincoln's new mission at last week's 2012 New York auto show. The 2013 Lincoln MKZ arrives at dealers this fall with a platform shared by the next Ford Fusion, just as...
