$100 to Test Drive Lincoln
Don't throw away that card in the mail from Lincoln! New offer - $100 gift card for dinner for a test drive of the MKC or MKZ. You have to go to a website to validate, but it's worth the $100.

Thanks! Been needing that nudge to get me to go try a MKC.

So it's up to $100 now? At the D.C. Auto Show in January they signed people up for $75 Master cards....for any Ford or Lincoln product. The year before that, it was $50....though I cheated, to some extent, and managed to get a $50 card from both Ford and Lincoln....used it for the F-150 and MKZ. (on second thought, it probably wasn't cheating, since both of the displays offered me a card, and their data base somehow allowed it).

Just a suggestion (though, of course, it's up to you).....since I reviewed a 2.0T FWD MKC (the only available at the place I was at that wasn't pre-sold), why don't you try a 2.0T AWD or a 2.3L AWD (the 2.3 only comes with AWD)? You might have to search a bit for an unsold one, though. (and enjoy that dinner):);) |

It will be interesting to see your personal review of it (not an autoblog) is compared to mine. It's not a perfect vehicle by any means, but I don't think you will be disappointed. I sure wasn't.

Desperation or ingenious marketing?

Caddy did the same thing earlier this year with $100 to test drive any model.
A little over a year ago I got an offer from Lincoln to test drive any model and get a certificate for a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses up to a $250 retail value.. Got another one recently for $25 or $50 to test any Mazda. This is something these brands, and others, do periodically to stimulate some interest.. |

Something tells me that the new Lincoln is not generating any traction/interest in the compact lux SUV segment. |
After reading this I just went to the Lincoln website and signed up. They want to know what you currently drive, so at first I entered my 2004 RX. Got a message I did not qualify. Changed it to my 2014 RX and 'got invited'.

After carefully reading the card, the invitation for the test drive is for a 48 hr test drive. Interesting.

Do you like the idea? It is nice to get something for free, but the brand image suffers tremendously.
