Lincoln’s replacement for the current MKZ will debut in concept form at the 2012 Detroit auto show this January, we’ve learned from two sources inside Ford.

The 2013 MKZ will ride on a new platform, which also will underpin the next Ford Fusion (spy photos of which can be se…

Lincoln’s current midsizer, the MKZ, has been with us since about 2005 and has seen some decent success. So it’s no wonder that Lincoln has confirmed that they’ll be unveiling a new MKZ Concept at next year’s 2012 Detroit Motor Show.

The Problem: The sprays used to deice roads can corrode the straps that hold the truck’s fuel tank in place. Eventually, one or both of the straps can break.
