2015 Lincoln MKC
The all-new Lincoln MKC hit the market in May and managed a more-than-impressive debut, moving 677 units in the last week of the month. After it had been toured around the country and compared favorably to a whole bunch of other luxurious things, buyers took full advantage of the opportunity to get behind the wheel and snuggle up to that sweet Bridge of Weir® Deepsoft Leather.
Lincoln May sales served as something of a microcosm for the brand’s ongoing success: it was the seventh month out of eight that the brand has seen overall gains and the fourth time they’ve done so in 2014. To date, Lincoln sales are up 20.9 percent with 37,251 units sold.
