The lincoln MKC design is better in some ways than the MKZ. To start, the front end design looks far better. They should have fitted those more squared headlights on the MKZ, instead of what it currently has.

Honestly at 33k. I think this will be a big seller for Lincoln.

It will be but at $33k you also have to ask what it comes with and what that is like when compared to the competiton

I'm impressed by the MKC. Lincoln did a good job at making an SUV that will advance its brand rather than confirm its current shoddy reputation. I think that the Lincoln grille looks much better on the MKC than it has on any of its other new models. The back of the vehicle looks great too. I think Lincoln might have a winner on its hands here.

And Cadillac doesn't even have an SUV in the segment yet, so Lincoln is a bit ahead of the game on that account too.

the MKC will be one of the vehicles that will give lincoln the push it needs to be a better company. the MKZ has done it a bit but so far doesn't seem to have gotten the results they were looking for.

If Lincoln keeps up like this I think that they could surpass Acura in terms of reputation. Acura doesn't really have a nice sedan, but now Lincoln has a nice SUV and a nice sedan. That seems like a good base to build upon.

Does anyone know what is next on the docket for Lincoln?

Acura is only good for people that want a reliable and affordable luxury sedan/SUV, thats all. Lincoln is starting to be better with the improvements in design and features, they still have a way to go, so far on track to beating acura.

Lincoln is also for people who want affordable luxury

Except its not all that reliable. It still has some ways to go. They are far down on the food chain.

and thats where acura swoops in to steal their customers, i'd love to see what the conversion is like of people transitioning from a Lincoln to Acura.

likely for reliability reasons.

Likely.
Eventually people will get fed up, ask for a buy back if possible and move on. Or get out of it some how.

 

[MKZFan]

it depends. I've met many owners who were happy. If you just happen to get a car thats bad it'll taint your reputation of Lincoln. And Acura is easily within reach for many.

I have also met a lot of happy owners, but it's understandable that a forum like this would attract more people with complains, so we see it more here. Probably gives people the ideal most MKZ's are like this.

BTW who said anyone was transitioning from Acura to Lincoln or vice versa? Both of them are wallowing in the same position, its likely a lateral move...

I will say Lincolns have more sex to them than Acura. Id rather drive an MKZ than a TL or TSX...

I did. I said due to Ford/Lincoln vehicles being not as reliable as Acura's, it's a reason for someone that was into Lincoln to move to Acura as it just as affordable, but you get a more reliable vehicle.
