Much like Jeremy Clarkson and the Vauxhall Vectra, the Lincoln MKZ will forever live in infamy in TTAC lore, but I'm a little more optimistic for the MKC, whch is set to bow at next week's Los Angeles Auto Show.
As we discovered on the Jeep Cherokee drive, the 2.0L Ecoboost Ford Escape is a wonderful drive – and the MKC, which shares its underpinnings with the Escape, will get the two-point-oh as its base engine. Optional on the MKC will be the long-rumored 2.3L version, making 275 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque (this engine is also expected to appear in the 2015 Mustang).
An all-new interior (including a funky-looking angled center stack) and the bespoke engine help differentiate the MKC from the Escape – unlike the MKZ, which many felt to be a visual downgrade from the Fusion, the Lincoln design language appears to work quite well with the crossover shape. A good thing, since this car will be crucial in China, Lincoln's next big expansion target.
