Lincoln sales were up 19.6% in September in what could very well be considered a watershed moment for the brand in 2015. While only standing as the fourth-best month in terms of overall sales, September represented the first time in who knows how long that every single vehicle in Lincoln’s lineup experienced year-over-year sales growth.

Lincoln cars were up 13.7% thanks to a 14.4% increase in MKZ sales and a 10.1% increase in MKS sales. Sales of the MKZ totaled 2,490 units and MKS sales totaled 503 units for a total of 2,993 cars sold. Overall, Lincoln’s car sales are down 14% through nine months.
