Spotted roaming the streets of L.A., this prototype of the 2011 Lincoln MKX reveals a few of the changes in store for the midsize crossover.
It's basically getting a facelift that will mimic the styling of the newer Lincoln MKT. The current model's harmonica grille is out in favor of the vertical, waterfall look used by the MKT. There are changes to the rear end as well, but the heavy camouflage makes it hard to tell if the MKX will get full width taillights like the MKT.
This MKX will also introduce Ford's Ecoboost V6 to the MKX range, so expect something in the neighborhood of 350-horsepower for this mid-size crossover. Sales are expected to begin next spring.

Cant really see the front clearly, but from what i can make out, it looks good-the best application of Lincoln's corporate front yet.

About time...the MKX was one horrible looking CUV. I believe they'll be incorporating the wing grille seen on the MKT?

About time...the MKX was a horrid looking CUV. It is my understanding the wing grille will be on the new vehicle, correct?

Saw one of these Tuesday in Phoenix, az. The front does look like the MKT, but not quite as tall, more like that of the MKZ. It's the first concept I've seen testing here in a few years.

This is good news. I just hope there are a few more changes in the interior and under the skin. The MKX has taken hits for being an expensive Ford Edge since it went on sale.
