Albany Lincoln Dealer, Johnson Lincoln, is pleased to announce that the 2010 Lincoln MKZ and 2010 Lincoln MKT have both earned Top Safety Pick recognition from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

Ford, Lincoln and Mercury now have a combined 11 IIHS Top Safety Pick ratings for 2010 model vehicles – the most of any automaker – as well as the leading number of five-star safety ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The Lincoln MKT and MKZ had to pass IIHS’s new roof strength test to receive the highest the rating. Both vehicles also must offer electronic stability control to be eligible for a Top Safety Pick.

With automotive safety a key feature for all consumers, Johnson Lincoln is thrilled to remind consumers of Lincoln’s commitment to continuous improvement on the safety front.  The latest findings of the IIHS compliment a first-quarter study conducted for Ford by RDA Group of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., which revealed that eighty-four percent of customers who purchased a 2010 Ford, Lincoln or Mercury car or truck are satisfied with the vehicle’s quality.

Albany, Pittsfield and Berkshires Lincoln shoppers are invited to experience the Lincoln MKT and MKZ, two vehicles that have earned the highest safety ratings.
