Lincoln MKT

Showing a potential luxury crossover SUV featuring the Ford brand's new "bow-wave grill" look that will become a Lincoln signature. You'll see it on roads soon on the new Lincoln MKS sedan.

The emphasis in this concept vehicle is on environmentalism and fuel efficiency. It's powered by by the new "EcoBoost" turbocharged V6 that Ford has been featuring at this show.

The MKT's body is made from recycled soda bottles.
