Though the 2016 New York Auto Show (NYIAS) doesn't start until first thing Wednesday, the Big Apple is already bumping. That's because tonight marked the very first event for one of the year's biggest shows. The first to get the jump on everyone else? That would be Lincoln, my friends.
And, boy, they have some news to report.

While we'd love to tell you about something we saw tonight, we can't. We signed our lives away. Someone at my table said they swore they saw something about their first born in the contract we all had to put our John Hancock on before entering the room.

What we can show you though is Lincoln's presentation discussing what I think can best be categorized as a changing of the guard. We're all familiar with the Lincoln of the 2000s, which was rather dull and uneventful, and Ford is doing what it can to turn the ship around.
With the MKC, the company's entry-level sport-utility vehicle, it saw 88 percent year-over-year growth from 2014. The all-new MKX has been "going gangbusters," according to Lincoln's President, Kumar Galhotra. Finally, the all-new Continental is making BIG noise: 30,000 buyers have expressed interest in the yet-to-be-released luxury sedan.
