    In 2010 Lincoln confirmed plans for a new compact crossover positioned below its MKX, which, along with another compact car, would form the point of entry for the resurgent American luxury brand. We say resurgent as the new compact crossover is just one of seven new or significantly refreshed models due by 2014 that are aimed at turning around Lincoln’s woeful sales levels. Almost looking like America’s version of the ultra-popular--and ultra-fashionable--Range Rover Evoque, the new Lincoln MKC concept car, which makes its debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show this week, is a...
