DETROIT–Ford Motor Co.'s luxury Lincoln line is debuting a new concept car, the Lincoln C.
In a switch for Lincoln, the C is a small car designed to attract customers in urban centres, who are looking for luxury in a compact package.
The Lincoln C sports a 1.6 litre EcoBoost engine, and combined with a dual-clutch six-speed transmission, the car averages 43 miles per U.S. gallon (5.47 L/100 km) on the highway.
The concept car shown off Monday morning at the North American International Show in Detroit also is embedded with cutting-edge technologies, such as a human machine interface. Using an avatar, the Lincoln C's HMI can communicate with the driver and interact with Ford's Sync connectivity network to play music, make appointments, check e-mail and read Web sites.
