Mercury rising into the 120-degree range wasn't enough to stop the KGP photographers from grabbing a series of up-close photos of the Lincoln MKT doing a bit of extreme weather testing under tire-melting conditions. As reported, the MKT will be getting EcoBoosted with a 3.5-liter V6 good for 340 horsepower and 340 lb-ft of torque. As you'll notice from the photos, the MKT has the glass roof and huge rump from the concept car. More details in the spy report below. More »

Ford today officially confirmed that it would be producing the Lincoln MKT and equipping it with the EcoBoost 3.5-liter V-6 engine, good for an estimated 340 horsepower and 340 lb.-ft. of twist, in place of a V8. Unlike the MKT Concept, the production crossover will get three rows and probably fewer Saworvski crystals. A "fuel-efficient" six speed will be the transmission of choice for both the EcoBoost V6 and the standard issue, normally aspirated 3.7-liter V6. The new 7-passenger CUV, which will debut at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show, will feature technologies such as SYNC, blind spot monitoring and cross-traffic alert. Full details in the press release below the jump. More »

Concept cars are notorious for rarely making it to the street. But what about the enticing features that designers include in their dreamy visions of our automotive future? We combed through the files we've amassed at the show this week and come up with five features that don't stand a chance in hell of ever escaping the shimmering incubator of the world's design studios. Count 'em down, after the jump. More »

Ford design overlord Peter Horbury introduced the MKT ("T" is for Touring), pointing out several enticing touches. You've got a 3D SYNC touchscreen meant to mimic the iPhone and something called a "bustle-back" rear, which is explicitly intended to convince Americans they're not buying a hatchback. Despite Horbury's presence, the vehicle pleasantly lacked Daveness (well, at least the bars in the grille are vertical). The press photos don't give a full impression of how truly wide that rear C-pillar is—up close and in profile, it looks strikingly like an old English cab. When the MKT hits production, we don't expect the debuted seating configuration to remain so luxurious, as Lincoln can easily cram an extra row in the back.

Just as predicted, the 2008 Lincoln MKT is the Ford Flex-based derivative, though with a wildly different outcome. It's as if they took the Flex and shaved off every angle to create the Lincolnesque profile. This MKT concept features a 3.5-liter V-6 EcoBoost engine good for 340 horsepower and 340 ft.-lb of torque. This is still in the concept stage, so it features Swarovski crystals with backlit LEDs and uprecycled plastics. If this sees the light of production we're not expecting that to make it.

In a boring article about the boringness of alphanumeric naming in the auto industry, the LA Times let it slip Ford will be unveiling a concept called the Lincoln MKT at the Detroit Auto Show. Whoops, that boring article just got interesting. What is this MKT you speak of LA Times? Is it a car? A truck? Is it a concept in the Hummer parlance — a suvvie with a truck bed? Do tell. We can't wait to find out next week when the curtain will drop on yet another MK-something-er-other, but more than likely it's the Lincoln version of the Ford Flex...at least that's what our sources are telling us.[LATimes.com] More »
