RUSSIA: Sales slide further, but there is some optimism

Stay connected Subscribe to our RSS feed
What a difference a year makes. For much of last year Russia's economy was riding very high on the back of a boom in energy prices. But that boom waned and hopes for immunity from the international financial crisis were dashed, too. Russia's stock market collapsed by more than 70% in 2008. From late last year, the car market fell away sharply also. Full story...

First Drive: 2010 Lincoln MKT
2010 Lincoln MKT - Lincoln Crossover SUV First Drive Review - Automobile Magazine
First drive of Ford's new EcoBoost engine technology.

Automobile Magazine has just driven the new, 2010 Lincoln MKT crossover, and although it's not the first Ford vehicle we've driven with the new EcoBoost powertrain, it's the first one we can tell you about (check back here on July 22 for our take on the new Ford Taurus SHO with EcoBoost). The MKT, of course, is the all-new production vehicle based on the similar 2008 MKT concept from the 2008 Detroit auto show. It's based on the same Volvo-derived platform as the Ford Flex and the Lincoln MKS flagship sedan, but it has a completely different interior and exterior from the Flex. It goes on sale late this summer starting at about $45,000.
