		<description><![CDATA[ Ever have one of those “WTF” kinda days? Well, that would be me today after I get the announcement for one of the winners of 2010 North American Car &#038; Truck of the Year. Enough about me, the winners are the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid and the 2010 Ford Transit Connect. Last year I was cool with the decision to crown the Hyundai Genesis and Ford F-150 as I was in previous years. Okay, great, excellent vehicles. My only gripe this year would be the Ford Transit Connect. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Lincoln was listening in 2008 when it first launched the MKZ luxury sedan. It had just enough luxury and elegance to be labeled ‘entry-level’ luxury, and now we have a more refined, truly luxurious and elegant model for 2010. Increased luxury and power are readily apparent and available in the 2010 Lincoln MKZ, as customers are pampered with signature high-end features and a faster-accelerating and noticeably quieter luxury interior. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Lincoln refines its award-winning MKX Crossover for 2009 with more innovations including available voice-activated navigation with industry exclusive SIRIUS Travel Link, standard power liftgate, and important customer conveniences like a front passenger grab handle, cargo compartment hooks, cargo net and universal garage door opener. The 2009 Lincoln MKX is strength and elegance perfectly blended in a refined yet dynamic design.  The MKX&#8217;s confident exterior and luxurious, quiet interior underscore the direction of Lincoln&#8217;s modern design.  The high beltline is defined by a stroke of chromed trim that caps broad shoulders, pronounced wheel lips and short overhangs that give the MKX its wide, athletic stance.  Standard chrome door handles and chromed caps on each side-view mirror add a dramatic finishing touch.  Black rocker panels plant the vehicle to the ground, accentuating the standard 18in. wheels and tires.  You can choose 20in. chrome-clad aluminum wheels for an added touch of upscale flair.  Side marker light cut into the simple, clean fascia and bend around to the side of the vehicle.  Chrome-ringed fog lamps are integrated into the lower fascia and echo the chrome-lipped dual exhausts.  Distinctive lighting is a hallmark of modern Lincoln design, offering the perfect balance of art and functionality.  An available adaptive front lighting system consists of motor-driven halogen low beams based on steering wheel input that swivel around curves.  When cornering, the headlamps can illuminate a stretch of road up to 36 feet longer than conventional headlights. Functional elegance is also the theme for the MKX&#8217;s liftgate lighting.  The system uses 16 light-emitting diodes, eight outboard and eight inboard, flanking the Lincoln star.  The result is an edge-to-edge band of illumination across the width of the liftgate]]></description>
