While this gargantuan vehicle may be completely unsuited to slipping in and out of tight quarters unnoticed, it’s darn near perfect for transporting the baseball team to practice in high style.

The 2012 Lincoln MKT features the impressive 3.5-litre EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 engine, countless luxury amenities (I counted them), a passenger cabin that is both spacious and swanky, and an exterior design that belies its status as a suburban superhero. It’s the minivan for those who despise all minivans, the Wagon Queen Family Truckster for those with common sense and the crossover for those who swore they’d always buy German.
