    Detroit 2012: Lincoln To Show MKZ Concept

    Alongside the new Ford Fusion, Lincoln will be showing off a thinly-disguised concept car version of its next-generation MKZ sedan at next week's Detroit Auto Show.

    “This is the biggest statement Lincoln has ever made at an auto show. Our NAIAS display represents more than a vehicle debut. It represents the reinvention of Lincoln,” said Lincoln design director Max Wolff.

    The MKZ marks the next step in Lincoln's revitalization plans. Last year Lincoln started to put the plan in motion by showing the refreshed MKS and MKT.

    Not much is known about the new MKZ besides retaining the Fusion’s front-biased architecture. Lincoln says the next MKZ will be much more distinct than the previous model.

    The dealership that got our franchise has since given it up, reportedly in response to Ford's demands for Lincoln stores going forward. Now there is no Lincoln outlet in Lancaster County. A lot of our loyal service and bodyshop Lincoln customers are very upset and angry. Rebuffing existing customer base before attracting a new one seems like suicide.

    • The really do like that Lucid though. If it wasn’t a sedan, I’d tell @ccap41 to watch for those also. They’re on my alert list.
    • A lot of of the early electric vehicles were on two year leases. Especially those in the luxury brand class. Acura, MB, and Cadillac all pushed them. 
    • I did the rarest of leases, 3yrs at 15,000 miles a year. Most especially for the Cadillac Lyriq were 2 year leases at 10,000 miles a year. Of the 1.2 million EVs being returned this year, pretty much all of them are low mile 2 year leases so you should be able to find a number of good low cost deals to buy on an EV. 4,813 were ZDX with the bulk on low mileage 2yr leases.  There are 28,402 Lyriq's low mileage lease returns coming back this year. https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/cadillac/lyriq/cadillac-lyriq-sales/ Q1-2025-Kelley-Blue-Book-EV-Sales-Report-04-11-25.pdf Acura ZDX AWD Used 2024 Acura ZDX A-Spec for sale in Renton, WA 98057: Sport Utility Details - 776625051 - Autotrader Cadillac Lyriq RWD Used 2024 Cadillac Lyriq Luxury for sale in Enumclaw, WA 98022: Sport Utility Details - 772214602 - Autotrader AWD Used 2024 Cadillac Lyriq Sport for sale in Seattle, WA 98133: Sport Utility Details - 775845739 - Autotrader Kia EV9 RWD No used yet, just new New 2026 Kia EV9 Light for sale in Renton, WA 98057: Sport Utility Details - 761201098 - Autotrader AWD Used 2024 Kia EV9 Wind for sale in Tacoma, WA 98409: Sport Utility Details - 772435775 - Autotrader Kia EV6 RWD Used 2023 Kia EV6 Light for sale in North Bend, WA 98045: Sport Utility Details - 760380155 - Autotrader AWD Used 2024 Kia EV6 Light for sale in Tacoma, WA 98409: Sport Utility Details - 772435774 - Autotrader
