Lincoln will join other luxury brands by switching to alphabetic names for its vehicles, using letters instead of words, according to a report published today by Automotive News. The alphabetic names begin this fall when a new Lincoln crossover goes on sale, a Lincoln official confirmed. Ford executives have long referred to that 2007 model as the Lincoln Aviator. Now it will be called the Lincoln MKX . There are no plans, however, to drop the Zephyr nameplate, which was introduced in September on a new 2006 model-year sedan. Recently, Leftlane brought readers a few teaser images of forthcoming Lincoln concepts, as well as full pictures of Lincoln’s new D3-based concept car, which some believe may be the replacement for the aging Town Car.
