I'm curious to know how well these are selling. If Lincoln and Mercury are more expensive than their Ford badge-mates, but not better, how are these brands going to continue to exist?

Whether you love or hate the styling, I have to take my hat off to Lincoln for committing to it. Too often we see the bold styling of show cars watered down or even eliminates once they hit production. I think that the front end is very unique, identifiable, and unlike anything else on the road. I love the Ford Flex and if I had even more money, I would step up to the Lincoln.
Nice to hear the comments about the enigne. It was fun to work on.
I can't be the only one who wants to pronounce the name the Lincoln Market.
During just the last few years, we have watched the SUV evolve. It has gone from something more akin to a pickup truck with an enclosed bed to a jacked-up version of the traditional station wagon. Carlike underpinnings have more or less become the norm.
Today's SUV can be fancy, too, and Lincoln recently added the MKT to their lineup. Highlights include three rows of seats, hard-to-miss styling, and available Ecoboost power.
The SUV can also include just about every possible convenience. In addition to the twin-turbo Ecoboost engine and all-wheel drive, our test vehicle sported a full roster of options. The $4000 Elite Package added a THX II 5.1 sound system, huge power sunroof and voice-activated navigation. Other options included adaptive cruise control ($1295), active park assist ($595) and second-row bucket seats ($995). It even had a refrigerator--an $895 option that we didn't discover until reading the window sticker.
