There will be seven new LINCOLN models headed to Gurley Leep Ford LINCOLN in South Bend by 2014.

The American auto maker hopes to have over half a dozen smaller, faster and greener cars on the road. Coming off a 25% sales increase, LINCOLN announced plans to the automotive press earlier this month.

LINCOLN hopes to shed the reputation of being a car driven by grandparents, and hopes to target a younger demographic. The company also wants to separate themselves as just a rebranded version of their parent company.

"As part of a billion dollar investment, the company will launch new or updated versions of the MKS, MKZ, MKX, MKT and Navigator. Additionally, LINCOLN will gain a new entry-level sedan and, possibly, a small crossover." This, according to car website World Car Fans.¹

LINCOLN vehicles will have such stylish options as a retractable glass roof, push-button gear shifting and new center consoles. All models will reportedly include sportier exhausts, eight-speed transmissions, and all-wheel drive optional. An updated LINCOLN MKS, debuting this November at the Los Angeles Auto Show, will give us a hint of the auto maker's future.
