A new automotive industry analyst report makes two things clear: we're getting a new Ford F-Series pickup in 2015, and Lincoln's product portfolio may grow considerably over the next four years. Although the MKC hasn't yet been submitted to the full battery of tests carried out by the nonprofit Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the Escape fell short of that firm's Top Safety Pick score after a troubling Poor rating in the challenging front small-overlap crash test. From its signature split-wing grille to its uniquely crafted, hands-free wraparound liftgate, the Lincoln DNA is evident.

Base price was just over $35,000, but with all the options and taxes, the little MKC cost $48,000.
