Lincoln MKR concept on ABG a second time on one day? Crazy
Ford is calling the luxury touches build into their new Lincoln MKR concept vehicle "guilt free" thanks to a few environmentally friendly processes used to make the deluxe interior. But can some soy seats really make driving a luxury vehicle green? I guess we won't know unless these features reach production in an upscale car and we can figure out what sort of MPG rating they're riding around in.
Anyway, the "guilt-free" features include:
- Chrome-free leather that was tanned using a new process that is chromium-free and "minimally impacts the environment."
- A reengineered oak instrument panel, mohair carpet and soy-based seat foam. The wood "is a reengineered oak that has been recycled and reassembled grain by grain, and stained black to give the wood a warm, rich appearance without using additional trees."

With regards, the interior of the car, the concept made use of environmentally-friendly and renewable materials that include cashmere leather, mohair carpet, oak instrument panel and seat cushion. Along with a very finest quality material covercraft car covers - http://www.partstrain.com/ShopbyBrand/Covercraft - that would add up the exterior looks.
