An
all-new crossover utility vehicle
from Lincoln is expected this spring.
The 2007 Lincoln MKX is expected to
compete with the Cadillac SRX, Acura MDX,
Lexus RX and BMW X5. Like other
crossovers, or CUVs as they're now being
called, the MKX is built more like a car
than a truck yet offers the cargo space
and higher seating position of sport
utility vehicles that are built more
like trucks.
 The
MKX will seat five passengers and will
deliver the largest cargo area in its
class, according to Lincoln. It's
designed to offer a smooth ride with
handling more like that of a car, a
benefit of its independent front and
rear suspensions. It's expected to weigh
less than a truck-based SUV and offer
better fuel economy.
 The
Lincoln MKX (pronounced "Mark X") will
share its basic structure with the
upcoming Ford Edge crossover and Lincoln
Zephyr sedan. It will be produced at
Ford's Oakville Assembly plant in
Oakville, Ontario, Canada. The same
vehicle that was called the Aviator
concept last year has arrived pretty
much intact as the Lincoln MKX.

 It
smells like French fries, looks like a
streamlined dragon on steroids, feels
like an oven inside and can’t back down
on a fish, but it can plough through
giant waves with a single plunge, beat
the pants off of just about anything
afloat in the long haul, and may hold
the future of boat design in its
high-tech innards.Welcome to Earthrace.
 Beginning
next March this extra- ordinary
creation with a price tag of $2.4
million will launch itself around the
globe in an attempt to beat the current
world record for a powerboat circumnavi-
gation while using nothing but biodiesel
renewable fuel. That is, if the
project’s shoestring—as in
budget—doesn’t fray
The
concept for Earthrace was born a few
years ago when a very bright and earnest
oil exploration engineer from New
Zealand, Pete Bethune, had an epiphany:
Non-toxic, biodegradable fuels were
