With sales down 11 percent so far this year, Lincoln is putting on blinders and zeroing in on the volume segments of the luxury markets. That means we won't be seeing a Mercedes-Benz S-Class competitor from Lincoln any time soon, even though cross-town rival Cadillac is readying a new flagship of its own.
According to Automotive News, Lincoln is also readying a new compact crossover based on the latest Ford Escape. Set to wear the MKC nameplate, the crossover should debut sometime in 2013.
Lincoln is also planning updates for its MKT, MKX, MKS and Navigator models.
