2008 Lincoln Models

Luxurious pickup trucks aren't a new concept, but there are few on the market. Cadillac offers its Escalade EXT SUV/pickup crossover, and Lincoln introduced a Blackwood SUV/pickup crossover for 2002, though it didn't last long before the automaker discontinued it. Lincoln re-entered the segment with the 2006 debut of the Mark LT, which is derived from the Ford F-150 crew-cab model. For 2008, the Mark LT comes with standard satellite radio and a free six-month Sirius subscription. New options include remote start and a rearview camera. 

The MKX crossover vehicle is a car-based replacement of the truck-based Lincoln Aviator SUV. For 2008, a hands-free communication and entertainment system, plus heated and cooled seats, are newly standard, and 20-inch wheels are optional. The MKX competes with the Cadillac SRX, Lexus RX and Volkswagen Touareg. 

The MKZ — previously named the Zephyr — is Lincoln's entry-level midsize sedan, and it competes with other entry-level vehicles, like the Lexus ES and Cadillac CTS. The MKZ can be had with all-wheel drive and, for 2008, gains standard heated and cooled front seats and a hands-free communication and entertainment system. 

Lincoln redesigned its full-size luxury SUV for 2007, revamping the grille and sprucing up the interior. For 2008, Lincoln made some optional features standard, including a power liftgate, power-folding third-row seats, and a 14-speaker audio system with satellite radio. A rearview camera system is a new option. The Navigator's competitors include the Cadillac Escalade and Infiniti QX56. A longer-wheelbase model, the Navigator L, joined the lineup for 2007.

Lincoln's rear-wheel-drive luxury sedan earned a substantial reworking for the 2003 model year. Flaunting a new stand-up hood ornament, the four-door Town Car's appearance grew noticeably more formal. Changes for 2008 are limited to the loss of trim levels and the optional navigation system.
